Hi,

Im currently looking at buying a Subaru Impreza Turbo uk model (1999).

Can somone tell me the ushal service intervals ie oil and cambelt etc?

Also how hard is it to do a cambelt on one of these ie diy?

Any other things i should look out for in the service deperment?

Thanks

 

Youve just logged on to the problem solver dept! most things just take a little carefull research and time! intervals depend on how hard you use the car! cambelt - prob not to diff but I have my garage do mine tbh. just needs small hands to get into eveything in the engine bay! lol! flat 4 is an addiction - watch out!

 

Oil every 6 months/7.5k whichever is first.
cambelt every 3 years/45k whichever is first

Would suggest going to the garage for the cambelt, with an 11 year old car you may find some "issues" with the pullies etc.

Well sorry about that i did try doing some re-search and couldnt find much about it.

Thanks anyway.

Thanks for answering my questions you are being really helpful, so how much roughly do you think i would be looking at price wise for a cambelt change also why the cambelt is being done should anything else be done in the same process is pullies etc?

Thanks Again.
