Timing belt replacement intervals

65,000 mile intervals for almost all timing belts. Timing chains are determined when the timing is off more than 6 degrees from optimum.

160,000 km major service. Anything over 150,000, think about getting it done, There's a set of bearing and the hydraulic tensioner (sometimes water pump) as well that should be done at the same time.

Yes, all Subaru vehicles have timing belts. Be sure to replace your timing belt at the required intervals. Timing belt replacement is crucial to the life of your engine. Interference type engines can suffer expensive damage in the case of timing belt failure. Bent valves are not cheap to replace.----------------------------------------------------------------------------

REPLACE TIMING BELT AT EVERY 60000 MILES INTERVAL.IF WATER PUMP FAIL FIRST REPLACE TIMING BELT WHEN YOU REPLACE WATER PUMP.BECAUSE BAD WATER PUMP WILL DAMAGE TIMING BELT.

That belt should be inspected every 30000 miles and replaced at 105000 miles.

Good luck from Detroit, MI.

On 1997 & prior models, the timing BELT interval for vehicles operated under conditions of excessive idling & or low speed driving for long distances, replace at 60,000 mile intervals.

Yes 2.2L is the same. Remember these are Subaru suggested. Does not hurt to replace belt at these intervals. Have a great day.

It should if it is a 4 cylinder. And any good mechanic would suggest to replace the belt between 70,000 to 90,000 miles.

The normal interval for timing chain replacement is 100,000 miles for close tolerance engines such as yours. Consult your owner manual for more service instructions or your local mechanic.
