February 23, 201312 yr having purchased subaru turbo some advice on renewal of timing belt would be helpful car has done 3000 miles in the last 3 years since new belt was fitted should i renew .
February 23, 201312 yr 3 years in dry storage wouldn't be a concern to me with 3000 miles. I would be more worried about getting the oil changed and break's/pads checked. But if your worried about it you would not do any harm either
February 23, 201312 yr Author car has not been parked up only done 800 miles since last mot new discs and pads just been fitted told belt should be changed at every 45000 miles or 3 years car has been fully serviced from new at subaru dealer thanks for your previous reply
February 23, 201312 yr No problem mate It still wouldn't bother me aslong as it's been stored well. Sat under a tree or on the side of a road I would change it :) But as I said before if you have any dout's best to change it, for own peace of mind.
February 24, 201312 yr I would also check the brake calipers for the pistons being free - although the discs and pads are new - if it has been stood / used intermittantly, particularly with handbrake on, it is easy for a piston to sieze.
