Timing Belts & Chains

The timing belt performs a crucial function in your Subaru’s engine. As the name suggests, it ‘times’ or synchronizes the rotation of the camshaft and the crankshaft. This ensures that the engine’s valves open and close at appropriate intervals. Some Subaru cars are built with a timing chain or a timing camshaft gear. Those equipped with timing belts, however, bring some benefits. For one, belts are inexpensive to replace. Also, they produce less noise and require no lubrication.

When Should a Timing Belt Be Replaced on a Subaru?

To know the correct timing (no pun intended) to replace your Subaru’s timing belt, refer to your owner’s manual. In general, Subaru timing belts last for 105,000 miles. With that said, some models necessitate replacement between 60,000 to 80,000 miles.

How Do I Know If My Subaru Timing Belt is Bad?

Here are symptoms of a failing timing belt:

If you fail to replace the belt once necessary, engine failure can happen. Damage to engine parts, like the pistons or camshafts, is also likely. These are costlier repairs.
