GumptionZA Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I recently got myself a 2004 Impreza 2.0 GX sport wagon (if it doesn't have a turbo is it even a subaru?) I was sitting at the car park at work with the car idling when I hear something weird from the engine bay. The fan belt has been squeaking for a while now so I figured I'd heed the warning and take a look see whats going on. as you can see the accessory (I'm not entirely sure whether to call it a fan belt or an accessory belt) belt was disintegrating right in front of my eyes! unfortunately I didn't do too much poking around to know exactly what and how many belts would solve the problem although some light research indicated that this engine has two accessory belts so my question is this: what exactly do i need to replace both of them? I'd prefer to buy from eurocarparts but I'm not exactly sure what it is i need to be buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideSam Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 There’s 2 belts. The on there is your power steering and alternator belt. The other one is for your air conditioning pump. I’d have a look on importcarparts.co.uk, good prices for good quality parts. Everything you need is here.... https://www.importcarparts.co.uk/parts?cat=96&sub=183&sec=331&var=23&dc=y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
