Timing belt OEM Subaru or OEM Volvo

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

I know I’m in the UK but a Volvo dealership changed the timing belt, auxiliary belt and kit last year on my V60 D5 and I had change from £300.

I have a 2009 C30 with 80k miles and I just did the timing belt and serpentine belts. The timing belt had noticeable cracks and the tensioner was pretty worn out. Better to get it done and spend the money now than have it snap and have a bricked car.

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.

I did my timing belt on my 07 wrx tr @90k miles n i used all oem parts. Imo oem is probably best

They want to charge me $2600 for a new timing belt, and they will also replace other belt and water pump. But $2600?! What the….

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

I just did the same job on my 2007 forester from the dealership, paid about the same amount, maybe a little more

Mine has been unreliable. The timing belt blew, both lower control arms and shocks needed to be replaced, and also both wheel bearings. Just my experience, I got mine at 130k and I'm at 155k now. Im getting rid of it. \n\n\nSo if anyone wants a c30 with a ton of work done feel free to message me lol. Its perfectly good now, fun to drive and I bet thats about everything that needed to be replaced.
