Could some 1 tell me if you have to change the cambelt at 30 or 50 thousand
MY01 BUG WRX

cheers

 

It's 60,000 miles or 4 years as per the owners handbook...

 

My '01 Bugeye service booklet says 45,000 miles

 

my dealer says 50'000 miles .........come on whos telling porkies

 

Regardless of what anyone says, i would change it at 3 yrs, irrespectrive of milage....

 

I have a bugeye WRX ('51 plate) and I have just checked my service book:

#2 Camshaft Drive Belt - 60 months or 50k miles (whichever occurs first)

 

I have 99 UK and it says 3 years or 45K miles, whichever first.
So what I want to know is, do bugeyes and onwards have stronger cambelts?

 

Same for my sti classic(as was)..........afaik

 

5 years or 50k

 

mines 2years 8 months old with 28 thousand something on the clock.......... was going to get it done at my next service

 

if it.s a 2000my with a y in the chassis no. it's every 60k, 2001 on wards is generally every 50k some of the early ones still got the old service books which you were able to send to i.m and get them to change it for the new type not sure if they still do it though.

 

Read the schedule in you service history booklet and leave the above lot to battle it out between them


(shock horror...not all Imprezas are the same )

 

^^ LOL, I think subaru are a bit confused on this one, my quote of 60k or 4 years is straight out of the August 2001 bugeye, (not classic) handbook dated August 2001.. I just did mine at the 4 year mark at 28k... you takes your choice!

 

I have an X reg. 2001 bugeye and the booklet says 45,000 miles or 36 months

 

Bizzzar!
it's section 11-3 in my book, book dated Aug 01 so I guess may be later version than yours?, has a pic of a bugeye on the front, I know they messed with the service intervals sometime in 2001 when they went to 10k/1yr servicing rather than 7.5k/12months, you'd think that would have lengthen the interval for cambelt, but my service book uses the old 7.5k schedule.. anyway, I did mine at 4 years, others may choose to do it at 3, clearly Subaru have mixed views on it, LOL!

 

had mine done at 50,000 miles service - as prescribed by owners handbook, local Subaru dealer and also top independent specialist (Les at Subaru4You).

 

I might just get it serviced now and leave the cambelt for now

 

Yep mine has the 7500 mile service intervals too

 

As the whole job only costs around £150.00 (non franchised) I would have it done as a matter of course after two years. Better safe than sorry.
