Timing belt OEM Subaru or AISIN

Get an AISIN timing belt kit with water pump. Uses OE parts. Don’t use gates, dayco, and esp not no name timing belt kits.

Be sure to buy an Aisin timing belt and water pump kit. If it has an automatic transmission, replace the radiator as well or add an external transmission cooler.

I had the belt service done on my 2015 last year at a shop in my area and it was about $900 parts & labor using Aisin brand belt & accessories as I specified. Consensus on the Pilot owners' forum is to use either Honda OEM or Aisin brand parts only.

I just had my timing belt and water pump replaced as well, but I bought the Aisin kit myself off of Rockauto.com for around $270.

I actually ordered an oem sti timing belt and have had no issues.

I’ve done them on Toyotas with more miles than this and they weren’t even starting to crack.

I just did the timing belt in my new to me 2004 limited and bought the aisin timing belt kit (tkt-021) with water pump. I bought it from summit racing for $183 had it overnighted to me for additional $33 and still cheaper than any parts store near me by $70.

That being said the Aisin timing belt kits are the only ones I use at my shop.

Recently replaced my 2004 UL timing belt at 100k and it came out looking like new with no real evidence of wear. Worth doing though, for peace of mind. Highly recommend the Aisin kit.

My Subaru WRX timing belt parts and labor cost me $850 cash at my trusted mechanic. I'm located in Toronto. This is expensive.
