Right my cars done 100,000 miles now and wanna do a cambelt on her myself, just a couple of questions:

1. Do i need to replace the tensioners and water pump?
2. Best place to buy the stuff?
3. Is there a group buy coming up???????
4. What price would i be looking at worst case scenario?

Any help appriciated as i wanna order asap!

 

yes
"import car parts" are good and cheap
dont know
what if it breaks, alot of wonga around a grand maybe more depending on who does the work

 

i normally get my stuff of ebay. with out the water pump. your looking at 200 if 97on
thats with a gates belt to

for the early classic 140, but you will need a tentioner to.
then around 60 for the water pump
the early classic tentioner 90

then you have the alternator belt & aircon belts

 

sorry forgot to say its an 03 wrx lol

 

the only real differnce, is theres an exstra roller on that year.

 

all bar the pump for 230

again, the pump will rob around 60 notes.

 

ill have a look on ebay now

 

just seeing if he would combine postage???

 

Import car parts cheaper than ebay
A kit for mine with all pulleys tensioner and belt was £180+£10 postage and arrived next day

 

Gates Cambelt kit including all tensioners and waterpump
Genuine fuel filter
Genuine oil filter
Oridium spark plugs
p+p

£313 all ordered and payed for got my saturday sorted!

Now to opie oils to spend £126 on engine, gearbox and diff oils!
shes worth it though!

Cheers for your help guys

 

If it breaks youre looking at alot more than a grand i can assure you

 

if he knows what hes doing, he'll be fine.
as long as the parts are as is.

theres only really 2 companys that do belts thats: gates & dayco
the subarus are the easyest cars i've ever done. every thing inc the belts are marked up.
even the tentioners are automatic ajusting. unlike most cars

 

Just getting time to do it now!
So much work on!

 

if i was closer mate, id offer to lend a hand

 

thanks mate really appriciate that!
