You're going to have a crack at changing one of the most important parts on the car, yet you need to ask if it's the right one?

Ive done cambelts on my a3 and my old sierra pinto with no problems, I can follow instructions no problem, Im just new to subarus and wondered if this is the right part no.

I can't help with the belt identification, but changing the belt on the EJ20 is a pretty straightforward job, despite what the prophets of doom say...
For piece of mind I would examine/ replace the tensioner as necessary and carefully examine the pulleys. If you're in any doubt about the condition of the parts, get new ones.
Good luck with it!!

Looks a really simple job, take your time - replace tesioner if needed, inspect rollers - half a day should see it done and a certain pride in knowing it's been done right
