subsince77 Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I have a friend with a 97 OBW 2.5 AT. He bought it recently with the understanding that the timing belt and all front seals were done about 25K miles ago. (Head gaskets were done, so no comments necessary about that) He even called the shop in Denver where the work was done prior to the purchase, and they said they "always do the complete job" when doing a timing belt. Well, it turns out that the belt and water pump were all that were done. No seals, no tensioners (!), no oil pump reseal, nada. Now his front seals are leaking, and it looks like the rear seal might be leaking too. At least he is losing oil at the back of the engine too. Not a lot of volume, but a lot of smoke. I told him that he will need a full timing belt kit with tensioners this time as well as the seals. I'm thinking that the water pump should go a while since it was replaced, He wants to get it fixed, and will be in Colorado Springs for a few days week after next. Can anyone recommend a reliable indy shop over there that he could call. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subsince77 Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Wow! I'm surprised. Lots of Front Rangers on this forum, but they must all be from Denver and North. Ok. Thanks anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry DeMoss Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Revolutions performance is a pretty reputable shop in that area. They do performance stuff but also do the basics as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DupermanDave Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Boulder's car population is about 60% subaru (that is, Boulder, Colorado) lol. So I'm sure someone from boulder could do a great job. If anyone is wondering what the other 40% is, 35% of it is Jeep, the other 5% is toyota :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
