Hi Everyone,
Thought it was about time that I registered and joined the Club.
I must admit that I was also looking for info as my 2006 Forester XT is due for a cam belt change.
First step - contact the Subaru Main Dealer for the area - sitting comfortably ?
All in price for the cam belt change was - wait for it ! - £1560 - YES - that is one thousand five hundred and sixty pounds - how the dealer could state that it was 3.5 hours to change the water pump as part of the service puzzles me.
As a rough guide I checked the Euro Parts web site - round about £300 for the cam belt kit - including water pump; tensioners etc. The Subaru price for the water pump was as far as I remember - £173 + VAT.
I think that I had better do a lot more reading - once my blood pressure drops anyway.
My cars :- 2006 Forester XT ; 1998 Impreza Terzo
