mamadou Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Hey Everybody, I had recently purchased a 1998 Impreza Outback Sport 2.2L. It has 51,000 miles on it and runs like a champ. Could somebody tell me what a realistic replacement interval is for the timing belt on this model? Would anybody recommend replacing the tensioners and water pump at the same time? Thanks.

I think the timing belt is inspect at 60k miles and replace at 105k miles. As far as the waterpump goes, most people on here will tell you to do it at the same time as timing belt since it's pretty labor intensive. For tensioners, same thing. Check their condition when you do the timing belt. I'm sure others will chime in but hope this helps. - Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setright Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 I would expect Sube tensioners, bearings, and water pump to last until the second time around, at 120k miles. Interval is 60k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerFahrer Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 I'm with Setright. Replace the belt at 60k and inspect everything, just for good measure, replace the belt, tensioner and all that good stuff at 120k... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
