never heard of it but there is a metal insert in the pullys and they are torqued to 70nm i think

 

According to the Subaru manual the cam pulleys are torque'd to 39nm

 

let him sort that out i just wounderd if it was a comen thing

 

Unlikely a pulley.. But if its coming from the nearside front of the engine..
It is likely that the cambelt tensioner is shot..
Very common problem, and it does exactly as you have described..

I had the same problem after a 6k rebuild, it lasted 3 weeks before it gave way and bent 11 valves.

Sticking/blocked idle speed control valve?

 

According to my book

LH & RH sprockets 39nm (which I'd refer to as the cam pulley plus these are the only plastic pulley's too)
Belt Idler No.2 78nm
Belt Idler 78nm
Crankshaft pulley 98nm

Subaru manual

 

must be a printing error somewhere as theres two separate dealers with exactly the same torque. so unless subaru printed them two wrong i dont no
