Subaru Impreza - Video tutorial

Model: Subaru Impreza MK 2 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Timing belt
Operation: Timing belt replacement

First remove the plastic guards protecting the alternator and the auxiliary belt; then loosen the tensioner of the first auxiliary belt to be able to remove it and then loosen the alternator adjuster to remove the second auxiliary belt. Then move on to disassembling the front radiator: it is suggested to lift the car on a lift to facilitate the disassembly operations since the stone guard must also be removed to complete the disassembly of the radiator and the relative sensors and hoses; place a tray to collect the coolant. Before disassembling the crankshaft pulley, position it at zero as regards the phase, i.e. align the notch on the rear part of the pulley with the zero on the graduated notches of the cylinder block: only after having perfectly aligned the notches in question, unscrew the pulley fixing pins and remove it from its seat. Complete the disassembly of the timing covers (two side and one central parts) until the toothed belt is exposed. Align the timing references perfectly, unscrew the tensioner and remove the toothed belt. Replace the toothed roller with bearing and the other rollers of the kinematic chain; replace the water pump (given the complexity of the disassembly operations, it is preferable to replace it even if it does not leak) and the tensioner. Then apply the new toothed belt by putting it under tension by appropriately adjusting the tensioner; reapply the covers and complete the operation by replacing the auxiliary belts.
