Hi everyone 

I am looking for some advice for my 2.0 sohc n/a legacy mk2.

The last time I did the timing belt I also replaced idlers, tensioner, water pump and the front crank seal.

Since then it’s done 40k miles.

Is it just the belt or will it be wise to replace more? Also what brand is worth going for?

 Thanks for your help 

 


Really depends on what parts used last time, if OEM japan parts then just inspect and replace anything out of spec (which unlikely at 40K)
If aftermarket stuff then good chance all best replaced .
I only use mainland Japan OEM idlers/tensioner, water pumps we use are ADL Aisin or Genuine, anything else probably more likely fail than an old original .
For belts I like Dayco, Aisin or Genuine . Not big fan of Gates kits, lot of the parts poor quality .

ICP good source for OEM idlers/tensioner at sensible money ...

Thanks Mr B

They were all OEM Japanese Koyo and  nsk parts with a dayco belt the last time.

It’s great to hear that there are also some alternatives for belts too 👍
