I am trying to buy a cambelt kit, with tensioners, for my impreza without going to the dealers.

I knwo there are a number of differences in the kits, with different tensioners and idlers, but I dont know which one I need!! The car is a 98 so on the changeover Im told, and having taken off the left and right hand cambelt covers Im none the wiser!!

Engine code is EJ20GNW6ND in a UK 98 car.

All help very much appreciated, as living on a small rock, I need to get all the parts togther before the engine comes out!

Cheers

Only real difference is the tensioner lay out mate,early ones ie ver 1/2 have a push plunger like this

and later ones have the push rod/spring built into the tensioner body like this

But isnt the tensioner under the central cambelt cover? I cant get that one off without removing the crank pulley- well not that i can see anyway?

Easiest way then would be to ring the stealers and get it identified 100% and then hangup and get it from somewhere cheaper

You will want the later pivot type tensioner, i don't have the number to hand, but the other idlers are Blueprint ADS77610 or INA 532008420 X 2 these are the large plain idlers, INA 532008520 X 1 thats the toothed idler, i don't think it has the very small idler on the L/H side above the water pump, if it does the number is Blueprint ADS77612 X 1
Cambelt Gates 5384XS, 281 tooth, hope this helps.

Cheers gents- well eventually I got a look at the tensioner using a mirror, and using the link below (if I paste it properly!)to help me locate where I should be looking.

I am none the wiser on idlers unfortunately, but I guess I can order them all, and then send what i dont want back.

Your help was much appreciated- cheers

Yours will be the same as your photo, you want all the idlers i mentioned except the small Blueprint ADS77612.

Appreciated- Im getting mixed views on whether the water pump should be done at the same time as well- any views?

If your getting the parts together to do the job in one hit,then it would be prudent to order a water pump and gasket as its driven by the cam belt and if its worn/noisy/leaking when you check it - its no big deal to replace it when the cam belt is off.

Hi lads, i'm in the same boat here i have timing belt kit bought from my local garage pic below...

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

My car is a 97 Impreza STI Type R.

I'm missing one idler at the moment should i have two of ADS77610?

And the water pump i have, somebody on another forum told me its wrong for my car, do you know if thats right?

on the INS/Blue print numbers for the toothed idler i've got ADS77609 is this the same as INA 532008520 ??

Be great if you could help me out lads thanks...

(Cant check the car to see what tensioner it has until weekend as its parked up somewhere else during the week)

The pump looks like a sport one without the modine outlet.

Have a look at the following page you can get the pulleys seperate and you can view what comes in the full kit to see what you are missing.
