Dan B89 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Hello all, hope all are well, I'm on second day of owning my Subaru and learnt a lot, turns out this car had few mods🤯 I am now rank amature #2, looking threw paper work only proof I can find of cam belt being done was at 40k it's now at 70, it's has had good service history few from Subaru and various garages, does anyone know when I should get this belt changed ?? Is there a set time/millage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROSSCOSM Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Think 50,000 miles is the interval mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siluro Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I am looking into doing a DIY job as I cannot trust anyone in my area not even Subaru. What it looks like you do need is a cam locking tool to make life much easier. £20-30 from what I can see. Got few miles left until it needs changing so still investigating. Does not look to bad a job really. You need to to take the rad fans out at least. I will be taking rad out as well to avoid damaging the fins and to give you extra room to work with.  Scoobyworld do it for a reasonable price they did mine just after I bought it.

DaveRAC Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 it can be easy if you do some research about it i did mine but i'm a mechanic so its easier for me but if you have a decent set of tools and the know how its quite straight forward but make sure you get a t-belt kit comes with guide pulleys and new tentioner but replace the water pump too if you can get a haynes manual it might make it easier . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
