Arrow General Cambelt + Tentioner Question.

Hey guys'n gals, Im getting my new Blue Print Cambelt + Tentioner fitted on friday, along with my new lambda sensor. I was just wondering if I need to replace anything else while they have it all in bits?

It's for my 93 WRX.

thanks!

Its worth checking the Cam and crank oil seals, and check the idlers for play.

For the work involved the fitting price is good though...have seen gates belts and dayco belts for around £50 not sure about tensioner so yep £249 pricey..fitting cheap !

Always best to look at overall cost..so you've paid £300 ish for belt/tensioner..all fitted... Bet there's a few on here that have paid more overall.......? ..£730 at subaru...???
