Hello! I have a 2004 Subaru Outback Legacy, with approx. 105,000 miles on it. I’ve had it for about three years and drive it quite a bit. I just replaced all four brake pads & rotors, which was the first major repair i’ve had to do since I bought it. The garage told me at that time that I really …

We had our 03 Legacy done about two months ago, and the price was around $900 or so. This included a full timing belt kit with tensioners, new thermostat and water pump, and accessory belts. I use an independent shop. Verify if you are getting about the same parts replaced. Also keep in mind tha…

As jayhawkroy implies, no proper timing belt job involves only the replacement of the belt. But one can’t count of a standardized list of what will be done. Get a full and complete list of what - exactly - will be done with the belt and post it. Just FYI: Most of it is probably wise to do, and mo…

Your car is due for timing belt replacement based on mileage. Better to do it now than before it breaks.

Thanks everybody---- I went to another shop, a little further away, that is family owned, where my sister gets work done on her car.

I spent $450 getting the timing belt, tensioner and pulleys replaced on a 2005 Legacy GT. The water pump and other stuff is prudent but not critical.

Note also that maintenance will affect this. A water pump which is pumping mostly acid will certainly need replacing more often than one which has been kept fresh and nice by occasional flushing and installing good coolant.

My 2002 Sienna had the belt replaced at 90,000 miles. At that time, Toyota recommended inspecting the other parts. They said all were okay. Now, at 180,000 miles they said the other parts needed changed, so I did. That is Toyota, the difference is part of what you pay extra for as a new car.
