hi guys first post on the wales section so big shout to the welsh lot need a bit of help, scoob needs 40000 service is it best to take to cvc or specialist also what is involved (my car 03 sti)

I take mine to cvc but there are cheaper options out there,I think its the timing belt one.

hi mate some one was telling me that thay are a bit funny when car is modded

30k and 60k are the cambelts. But it is also done on time if the mileage is not reached. I think it's 5 years or 60K.

Hope this helps.

last December i had a 3 year/30000 service and they told me the next one will be the cam belt one :confused:



Ian, had the car yet!!

If it does need the belts doing, then ask CVC for a quote - when mine needed doing it worked out cheaper to get them to do it than any of the other local garages I tried - half of them said 'we dont work on cars like that' and the others were on about dropping the engine out to do it and quoting stupid labour charges.

While some dont like CVC, their mechanics do belt changes all the time, so even though their labour charges may be higher, they can do them a lot quicker so arent always more expensive.

Plus, you get the service stamp in the log book from a Subaru dealer, which will look a lot better when you come to sell it.

cheers guy off to cvc for service and get belt changed thanks for the replys

See if they offer a discount, we all went to an open day last year and now receive 10% with a VIP card.

Can you pass on VIP cards on? cause I dont need mine now, due to lack of scoob, so if anybody wants it, give us a PM.

cheers guys been quoted £380 for service not sure if that was belt included any way 40000 service told me all oils,the next one at 50000 was belt change do you think good price thanks
