Hi i'm just getting together service parts for uk classic. the cambelt was changed at 42k the car has now done 78k. do i just get the cambelt changed or do i need to get the full kit with tensioners and pulleys. I've already gone out and purchsed a belt for about £50.00, but the whole kit is about £320.00

thanks.

 

when i spoke to our subaru guy he said to check them when your doing it, cos as you say the whole kit is expensive, the tensioner is hydraulic and meant to be used again so he said,

so id check them and replace if needed

The manual suggests you check the bearings and tensioner for condition and determine which needs changing.

I replaced all the bearings and belts for my 90k service just for peace of mind, the tensioner was fine, it even said a small sign of oil on it was fine.

Quite an easy job to replace with the rad removed.

 

thanks,
thats really helpful. cheers both.

 

i got my kit inc belt (no tensioner) on ebay for £150....

 

Same here, import car parts use oe spec belts and bearings.

But it's a tenner cheaper on their main site.
