Hi all,

just going through a downloaded service manual for a 2004 STi. I have a 2003 WRX so was hoping I could read across the info.

Car is on 102,000 and the manual says that at 105,000 the drivebelt and cambelt need replacing, happy what the cambelt is referring to, but which drivebelt is it on about and can anyone recommend a good stockist or does it have to be OE parts ?

Many thanks

 

gates belts are widley used and reasonably priced

 

Cambelt change at 105,000 miles, you are obviously looking at a US based manual. Should have been done at 100,000 miles,

Damn the internet lol well that focuses me somewhat, will be doing that as soon as. Is it a big job?

 

Thanks for the advice, better drive it sensibly till the new year, been quoted £80 for labour and looking online for parts any recommendations for parts to change whilst its in there? oh and does the rad need to come out?

Engine in car - Rad out to give room.

Maybe a good time to change idlers and belt tensioner

thanks for all the help, phoned main dealer for a quote of £136 +vat for the belt so got hold of Graham Goode racing and bought it for £36 and £20 for 5 litres of the red anti freeze so cant be bad.
