shouldnt take u 2 hours to do the belt, in the book its says hour and half max. thats with taking all the bakerlite pulleys of etc.

Someone mentioned it above but when the timing belt is out you might aswell replace the water pump. They are relatively cheap and it is good insurance.

hey guys,

Just booked my car into ASG for next thurs for a 100,000km service. Nick said that the water pump is an optional extra, is it worth getting? ($180). Is there anything else i need to ask them when i take the car in?

Thanks in advance

Definitely. Do it. They don't usually last much more than 100k. If it dies shortly after you're up for a shitload more to pull all the timing gear off to get at it again.

thanks. all sorted. $1380 all up, not to bad i guess. is there anything else i should ask?

edit: at uni with 1 shift a week. this is going to hurt

Personally, (as ive recently done it), if you're not doing it yourself - I would take all the parts in, in a box, and just get the boys to fit them.

Without having my manual close to hand, definately all oils/filters/plugs and everything in the normal list - 'by the book'.

Timing belt definately, (opt) tensioner - if there is nothing wrong with it, you dont need to change it, ($338 dollar saving). The 3 smooth/1 cogged idlers can be sourced off the shelf cheaper than subaru. Worth doing. And the water pump/gasket/thermostat, as Rich said, its optional, but recommended. ($125 odd). There is probably more - ill have a think.

Brent.

** Check page 2 of 02WRX's 'whine' thread in mech section to see why idler pulleys should be done. Proof that they do go, and can be annoying. **

if it saves you money get all the parts yourself, defiantly do the water pump there lucky to last 100k km .

If you need help with some parts i got filters,oil,plugs can do them cheap for you
