Timing belt OEM Subaru or Contitech
I use contitech on All my cars
I did my timing belt on my 07 wrx tr @90k miles n i used all oem parts. Imo oem is probably best
when I got my '06 sti 3 years ago I replaced the original belt with roughly the same mileage on it and it looked to be in fine condition despite being 13 years old.
I used contitech on my E28 when i did the timing belt on it. Continental has been making automotive rubber products for forever so i trust them
INA pulleys
Aisin water pump
Contitech belts.
I have personally been running this one for the past 3 years with no problems. As for the belt itself, I always run a conti tech (OES) belt and never have had a issue
I already flipped the belt around (now I have two fuzzy sides). I'll try de-tensioning it a little, and I guess if that doesn't work, a new belt and another new tensioner are in order. Might as well go with ContiTech this time around I spose.
I changed with new belt but it is also a half tooth. It always lines up with cam cover arrow just at the line at the end of the tooth rather than middle of it at tdc.
My Subaru WRX timing belt parts and labor cost me $850 cash at my trusted mechanic. I'm located in Toronto. This is expensive.
I just did the same job on my 2007 forester from the dealership, paid about the same amount, maybe a little more
