I need to have the cambelt changed on a STi 5 with air con and have some questions .

1. is a uk belt the same ?

2. can any competent mechanic change it ?

3. do you need any special tools ?.

 

Yep..UK belt is the same..

Special tools .... not really.. but the cam clamps make it really...really easy----er.. lol

Becareful of damaging the valves/pistons.

Remember you have 4 pulleys and the centre crank to line up....

Have a look here - - - - - ->

 

Also make sure that you buy the phase II engine belt, as this is a different length to the earlier phase I belt.
