wrong belt

Welcome to USMB.

 

I pretty bright bunch here and lots of info already here if you search.

 

But regardless if you're looking or we're trying to help a year, model and engine size will be needed.

 

We're not that good....

I see you updated the post to show model.

 

I don't work on the newer stuff much.

 

But on a 2005 Impreza 2.5 it has the usual 3 Subaru belts.

 

The timing belt (hidden by timing belt cover).

 

AC accessory belt.

 

Alternator/PS pump belt.

 

So I'm back to which belt are you calling the serpentine belt?

Also please update your profile with a USEFUL location.

 

There is more than one town in one state by that name.

 

Often board members will help out other board members.

p/s & atlernator belt. sorry for the miss info.

Mostly remember to undo the jamb nut on the tensioner's long bolt before unscrewing the tensioner bolt.

 

On the older 2.5's that can be a very tight belt to get back on.

 

I often buy it 5 longer than called for (and the AP belt 5 less than called for) to make it easier to install on the up to 99's I usually work on.

 

Other than that no science at all.

 

I'd be concerned about if the timing belt was done.

 

I replace those accessory belts when I do the timing belt.
