Question

Can anyone tell me what the correct interval is for a MY98 UK Impreza Turbo?

The User Manual says 60K but I've also heard that it should be changed at 45K.

Which is correct?

Thanks in advance

Gavin

45k is the correct changeout of timing drive belt. Hope this helps.

Subaru UK and Subaru Benelux have different servicing schedules.
Had a UK MY95 and cambelts were at 45k miles or 3 years. Now have a Dutch MY99 and dealer recommends 62k miles (100k km) or 4 years.

Maybe the continental parts are harder wearing?
