HOwzit, I have a 2002 WRX wagon and I'm approaching the 100,000 mile mark. Planning on changing my timing belt and water pump. What else do you guys think I should change? Where would be the best place to pick up the parts? I also just recently changed my HKS super sequential BOV back to my stock one, I shouldn't have any problems with that right. I have the recirculation valve for the super sequential, but the tube that it connects to is way too short, thats why I put the stocky back on. Thanks for the help.

 

i've posted something previously try search for it... look up "timing belt" it was started by someone else

consider changing the idlers while your in there....its a bit pricey but will save you the trouble in the long run. also the belt tensioner maybe a good idea. if you plan on doing this yourself make sure to pick up a cam gear wrench this helps hold gears in place while installing the belt. also it helps greatly to remove the idler below the tensioner when installing the timing belt.........goodluck

 

all info that jess is referencing is listed in those two threads i pasted

 

Ok if you are bring it to the dealer we are going recommend everthing but the timing cover seals. Thats timing belt, cam and crank seals, tensioner, idlers, water pump, thermostat and coolant. Going to around 1200 dollars. You can add more stuff that iNfEk posted in the thread with the two links. Yeah timing cost alot but with 100,000 I would change it.

 

defintely change out the tensioner too. i have made that mistake in the past and regreted it.

 

Do yourself a favor and don't leave out the idlers like others have mentioned.

Pricey, but at least the labor is free since you're doing it yourself!

You're paying for the guarantee that your car will run at it's best for years to come. And YOU did it so you know it's good. Damn satisfying.

 

right on thanks for all of the help

 

when are we doin this this is big D by the way

 

If I had anywhere near that mileage I'd change the timing belt ASAP. It's just cheap insurance.
