We offer different single-line lubrication systems, suitable for lubrication with the use of oil or grease up to NLGI-2 class.

Anyway, I'd recommend replacing the idlers too, and it seems that's not automatically included in the job by dealers, at least by my one experience.

If you are doing the water pump and draining the radiator, not removing the radiator really doesn't save any time, maybe 1 minute. It is held in by two bolts.

When I was in for warranty repair, the dealer proactively gave me $1500 quote. The Turbo models are more difficult because you have to remove downpipe or exhaust manifold/turbo assemble to access the all water pump bolts. The charge pipe, air intake pipes, hoses make for a more difficult timing belt job as well.

Some industries require a different approach, and that's why Groeneveld-BEKA has developed some special lubrication systems to suit those needs.

I used the Continental kit and GMB tensioner, ended-up getting quite the shock when I pulled the timing belt covers off and found tons of rubber shavings. All of the small guides on the inner cover corners were digging into the existing timing belt. Readjusted all of them using the spacer tool provided for reinstallation of the main timing belt guide.

I'd recommend replacing the serpentine belt and any hoses that look suspect. If you live in the rust belt, you'll probably need various other bits as well. If the book rate is something like 5 hours, and they charge say $125, then with tax paying MSRP on everything with all OEM parts you are looking at around $1400 including tax.

I am getting prepped to do the timing belt on my car as well - I bought the 6starbernie kit (OEM tensioner, all OEM idlers (direct from manuf), Mitsuboshi belt), waiting on some miscellaneous stuff (OEM upper/lower rad hose, serpentine belt, plugs), have a camlock tool for the drivers side cams, and a torque solution crank pulley tool. Pretty sure I am good to go once it all gets here. (opting to forego the waterpump since the car only has 74k miles and that getting the wp on the GT is a bit more than I feel like dealing with this go-around) - oddly enough, the thermostat is on national backorder (appears to be unique to the 5th gen GT) - definitely pulling the radiator, etc. to make room. I'll use a feeler gauge for the belt guides (spec is 1mm +/- 0.5mm, so not a bit deal). Need to pick up coolant, then I'll have everything.

With a single-line system a central pump unit delivers lubricant to a metering device through one singe line. Each metering device serves only one lubrication point with a precise amount of oil or grease.

In a multi-line system, grease is led directly from the injectors in a pump through their own pipes to a lubrication point.

Effective lubrication is key to improve efficiency. Some industries require a different approach, and that's why Groeneveld-BEKA has developed some special lubrication systems to suit those needs.

Lubrication is vital to machine components like bearings, pins, bushings, gears or chains. They all need lubrication for your equipment to perform in the most optimal way. Whether you are looking for lubricants, automatic lubrication systems or solutions for specific industries, we offer the solution that helps you to keep your industry in motion.

The application of a film of grease between moving parts in a machine or vehicle. The film of grease prevents any metallic contact between moving parts, like pins and bushings, bearings and steering knuckles. It also stops dirt, water and dust entering the lubrication point and prevents corrosion. Inadequate lubrication causes wear and tear, machine and vehicle failure and increases costs.

Twin dual-line systems are used all over the world on the most demanding applications including mining, container handling systems and recycling plant machines. Twin is available with reservoirs up to 8 liters and the Twin XL features an 18 liter reservoir.

Contains a range of gear pumps used to supply oil or oil-like lubricants that have sufficient lubrication characteristics.

Groeneveld-BEKA systems and services reduce operational costs for customers, while increasing equipment uptime, productivity and efficiency: this is what it is all about at Groeneveld-BEKA.

Sorry I can't answer your question with 5th gens, but I just wanted to mention something. I stupidly assumed that when the dealer changed my timing belt the first time around that they would do all the idlers too, which they did not. I ended up going around 190k total on them before doing my timing belt myself the second time, which was a stupid gamble to run the oem idlers that long.

I think 1400 is a bit high. I can buy the whole kit for I think 275 from rock auto. The idler pulley should be included for that price. I guess I will call the dealership to get more details.

Grease is a thickened oil and always consists of two different components: oil and a thickener. The oil is the actual lubricant, while the thickener ensures that the oil remains in place.

checked parts.subaru.com - msrp for the 3 idlers, tensioner, belt, and water pump is $635.27. Coolant is $25.96 per gallon and you need 2. So that's $687.29 in parts and fluid.

My wife's 2011 2.5i is almost to 100k and I called the dealership where she bought it from to get a quote on the water pump and timing belt replacement. They quoted me 1400$. Is that too much?

Reducing customers’ operational costs and at the same time increasing uptime, productivity, efficiency and safety of their vehicles and machines. That is what it’s all about at Groeneveld-BEKA.

If you are going all OEM parts, I can see it getting up into the $600 range for all the bits, then book rate is probably something like 6 hours, I imagine... so depending on your dealers hourly rate, $1400 with tax doesn't sound too horrible - definitely not getting a deal, but if done right, and you can't do it yourself, it's not horrible.

The BEKA PFP-1U is a versatile pneumatic barrel pump which offers all features needed to run a machine without unplanned downtime.

That is crazy that they would not replace the idlers, I ended up doing it myself after the dealer quoted me some insane number. I did not do the water pump and thermostat, though. My understanding is that Subaru water pumps rarely fail and if it ain't broke don't fix it

Progressive systems. All lubrication points are consecutively lubricated with the predetermined amount of grease. Parallel systems. All lubrication points are administered the predetermined amount of grease at the same time.

I'm at 130k and the timing belt looked in good shape still when the shop showed me the old one, but I wasn't taking a gamble any longer.

On a brighter note I am in the process of building koni/H&R spring setup with the sti group n front strut mounts and forester rear strut mounts. I am almost finished and I can definitely swap out that on the street.

Twin systems are used all over the world on the most demanding applications including mining, container handling systems and recycling plant machines. Twin is available with reservoirs up to 8 liters and the Twin XL features an 18 liter reservoir.

Progressive systems provide the various lubrication points with grease by means of progressive divider blocks. Progressive means that all lubricating points, each in turn, are provided with grease.

Oil and air lubrication is the perfect solution to lubricate bearings, especially high speed bearings. Additional fields of application include chains, gear trains and other industrial applications.

I have a 2010 LGT, had to remove the radiator fans, piping from the turbo outlet to intercooler, and two upper coolant hoses. I am not especially talented mechanically and was able to do it, so most people should not have problems if they take their time. Getting the new timing belt on with marks aligned was frustrating, but with the cam pulley tool and a mirror, I eventually got it.

Yeah I have decided to tackle it myself. The dealership is absolutely nuts if they want someone to pay that amount for that work.

A dual-line system is comparable to the single line system, except that this system has two primary lines that are used alternately to pressurise and depressurise.

Automatic lubrication involves pumping the grease from the reservoir of the lubrication system to the lubrication points. The quantity of grease per lubrication point and the interval can both be set in advance.

I really think this is a reasonable DIY job if you have a few evenings to work on it. I did not need to remove the radiator, only the fans, and the hardest part was dealing with all of the rusty bolts.

In a multi-line system, grease is led directly from the injectors in a pump through their own pipes to a lubrication point.

$1400 seems like a lot for 2.5i. I would think it would 800-900 range for a dealership to do a 2.5i timing with Subaru parts. (I am just a DIYer though) My dealer advertised $400 timing belt (just the belt) for 2.5i.

For all situations in which moving parts need to be separated from each other by means of a film of grease. Groeneveld lubrication systems are most frequently used for wheel loaders, excavators, trucks, trailers, buses, port equipment, mining machines, forestry equipment and agricultural equipment.
