hi all, can someone post a pic or guide me where my cambelt is located in a MY02 WRX

dont laugh, but i always thought the belt you see near the front of the engine was the one, but recently was told it was something else. lol

cheers

you'll either have a single belt running off the main crank pulley driving the power steering pump and alternator, or if the vehicle has air-con you'll also see an inner belt that drives the compressor.................this is what you normally see behind the radiator when you lift the bonnet - these are auxilliary drive belts!!

your cam belt is located behind the plastic covers that cover the front of the engine and drives the 4 camshafts (2 on either head), tensioners pulleys, etc. to allow your engine to run!!?! you can't normally see any of this belt.................

hope this helps, alyn

is there any way of accessing the belts easily without subaru knowing?

pslewis

WHY would you want to do that then??

Yes just take the three bolts out of the n/s cover remove the cover and have a look,Although why you would not want subaru to know is beyond me

trying to pull a fast one with them.

i've been told by Subaru that i have a oil leak behind the cambelt which can be repaired under warranty.

my next service includes a cambelt change

i've also been told by someone else that oil contamination to the belt can damage it and the old belt should not be used

i just want to make sure that there is oil on it and it will be changed FOC
