bazza Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 had half hour spare and Halfords was across the road so i got a price for a new timing belt for my p1 got a quote for £95.00 then went round the corner to euro car parts the belt there was £55.00 thats a big diffrence in price. the timing belt kit was £255.00 but im not sure on the make or brand.. im going to shop around to see if there are any places local to me that can help.. will i be better to buy the belt from subaru main dealer and do i need to get the kit with it ? or just have a belt fitted on its own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I think 60K miles is the full kit change and 30k is just the belts was with my ST170 anyway. I will be going full kit on mine when its due in about 18k miles :( And like Jay said before depends on the belts you get. with how much you pay think the belts I'm looking at was £350 (I mean the full kit) And I would shop around online get some great deals sometimes eBay can be good to check out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I spend money on parts with two things in mind - how will I be using it and will it give me peace of mind There is nothing wrong with Halfords and europarts kit and they do the job for a lot of people however you do own a particularly choice piece of kit (http://www.autotrader.co.uk/used-cars/subaru/impreza/used-subaru-impreza-p1-4wd-2dr-oldham-fpa-201142423014485) I believe Subaru quoted the P1 as having 280BHP which is not a small amount of power if things start to fail. I would get a quote from a main dealer for the belt and kit then compare to a reputable scooby spares dealer who specialise in these engines. but for me I would spend £155 and go for a kevlar reinforced item from cosworth - but then I would get peace of mind Just Subaru - Revolution service parts link - belt at £99 http://www.just-subaru.com/servicing-parts-classic-69085-0.html scooby world kit http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=47_292&products_id=2042 Cosworth belt http://lateralperformance.co.uk/product.php/190/90/cosworth_kevlar_timing_belt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
