Timing belt OEM Subaru or OEM Toyota

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

That’s what mine cost at my local Toyota dealer, my 06 had 70k miles and never had it done and that $1200 for a peace of mind was Money well spent in my opinion

Anytime I’ve done or seen a Toyota timing belt done at the recommended 90k it looks like it has plenty of life left.

I've never seen a Toyota or Lexus have a belt failure. The other components idler(s) and water pump are usually the cause of catastrophic timing failure.

Just replaced the timing belt on a 25 year old Sienna with 150k miles. Almost pristine. No cracks, very little wear. I was surprised.

Just for reference, I just had timing belt done on my daughter’s 2011 legacy at our indy mechanic:Labor: $531 replace timing belt with front engine oil seals and water pump, idlers, tension, upper radiator hose, l inner timing coverParts: approximately $800Total approximately $1350

Just had the same work done. Same car. I paid more, and I felt like I got a good deal.

The timing belt on the 4.7 engine needs changing every 100k, which is stupid.

I just did this. Most of the items Subaru said were "broken" were in fact, not broken. Some were just worn but still in good condition. They also wanted to replace my timing belt, the same one THEY REPLACED LAST YEAR.

I experienced this as well. Bought a kit and the belt was sooooo hard to get on. Like I knew it wasn’t going to be easy but man it was hard to get on. The belt broke after less than 10k miles. Everything was marked genuine, etc.
