December 31, 200619 yr Author any special tools needed , i have all metric tools + standard , should i replace pullies etc... ,there are timing belt kits on ebay , any seals there ? there are several on ebay , 95-99 ,96-99, 2000- 2004 , and different prices , mine should be the 2.2 95 legacy
January 1, 200719 yr Excellent information in the links OB99W provided. Also try looking in the "FAQ Sticky Compilation" on this forum's thread list page--there's an entry titled "2.2 Timing Belt Thread" that has some good links. General wisdom here is to use genuine Subaru OEM parts for belt, waterpump, thermostat, seals, etc. I just bought everything needed online for under $200. You might call Jason at 866-528-5282 (he's in the parts department at Mike Scarff Subaru in Auburn, WA)--excellent service and great prices, just mention USMB. Good luck!
January 1, 200719 yr IMHO, the biggest PITA for Old-Genners is the tensioner. Has to be slowly compressed and a retainer pin put in it. Trying to align 3 belt marks simultaneously instead of 2-at-a-time is also fun. Not a hard job to do, just "different" the first time you do it. If not already planned, might want to go ahead and do an oil pump reseal while you are in there.
September 8, 200718 yr You sent me this .pdf it is the definitive guide to timing marks. This will get me back on the road. Thanks for the help. For all of you other non-subaru mechanics if you don't do anything else on this board at least open this file. http://www.motor.com/MAGAZINE/Pdf/082001_08.pdf

Not hard but definately different. In the Audi and VW world the hydro tensioners just compress - no waiting or slow compressing. And they look very similar. Kind of different. GD
September 8, 200718 yr Just compress the tensioner in a 6" C-clamp. Won't be able to go too fast. Whichever way you do it, takes far less time than taking apart half the car on VW/Audi to access the belt.

Whichever way you do it, takes far less time than taking apart half the car on VW/Audi to access the belt. Heh - yeah that's 100% accurate. I wasn't complaining about the tensioner - just noting that even though it looks very similar it's designed quite different obviously. Reused my 130k tensioner on my 94 because I just couldn't afford the $97 for a new one. OUCH! Been working on a 2.7TT A6 for the last couple weeks. Just over 100k and it needs about $1500 in parts just to get it into leak-free DD condition. Not to mention a month of Sundays to do the job GD

Thanks for the help.[...] I'll say "you're welcome", since I assume the thanks are for the pointer to the links at Motor Magazine that I posted a while back. I hope that with the timing issue clearer, you're indeed successful in getting the engine firing on all four again.
