dezmond_vr6 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 How often do u guys do your cambelts? Just tryin to sort out a service but want to make sure I'm getting everything in that needs doin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 About 60k is recommended but worth doing the water pump at the same time because if that goes after you have had it done you will be paying for it to be done again :( 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmond_vr6 Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 So mine was done at 33k I've covered 66k now. So should be ok for another 20k? But it was done 5 years ago by looks of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Oh yeah I would look at getting it done mate I think the book says 60k or every 5 years what ever comes 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmond_vr6 Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Oh bollox that's not cheep job. Only just bought the f**ker as well. Should it really matter? What is the issue of the year? If the miles haven't been done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmond_vr6 Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 I think the manual says first cambelt should be done at 66k or 84 months (7 years) which ever comes first. As mine was done at 33k and was 5 years ago does that basically mean it can do another 33k or 2 years before it need doin?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I won't go anywhere else for them jobs it's 158 mile round trip for me to use martin but worth it. http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/4658-5heffield-5ubaru-5ervice/ If it's close enough to you I'm going on that because you said Scooby Clinic. And from members on here I wouldn't recommend them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
