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.

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.

The engine misfires or runs poorlyThis could indicate that the timing is off with the engine as the valves aren’t properly in sync with one another and could leave a small gap in between the combustion process.

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

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 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.

Metal shavings are found in the oilA good way to detect if a chain is failing is by looking at the oil in the engine via an oil change. If there are metal shavings found in the oil it could be an indication that the timing chain has been stretched and is on its way out. However, it could also be a sign of something else, so keep that in mind when inspecting the oil.

It is a metal chain that takes power from the engine to drive the camshaft. Compared to its rubber belt counterpart, it is much quieter and lighter, and relatively maintenance-free. Aside from this, timing chains are also known for their longevity and durability as these do not have to be changed as often as their rubber-based timing belt counterpart. These will also often last the lifetime of a car with a minimal need for maintenance.

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.

It is important to note that while a timing chain is more durable than a timing belt signs of it stretching or failing are slightly harder to detect. It’s also harder to make a timing chain jump teeth causing the engine to go out of sync. Here is a quick list of signs to look out for which indicate that it could be time to replace a timing chain.

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.

When your timing chain needs to be replaced it will require the engine to be opened up or even removed from the vehicle itself. Aside from the costly repair bill for the parts and labor, also expect downtime for the car as this process may take a few days to complete. It is important to note that it will also depend on the availability of the service center as well. Aside from the initial process of replacing the timing chain, expect to have a short break-in period for your vehicle as well to see if everything is running as it should. This is done to check if the installation process was done correctly and if anything else will need to be addressed afterward.

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.

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?

The engine refuses to start or fails to idle A broken or damaged timing chain will not allow the engine to start or will have it fail while driving. If this happens your engine may skip its timing and the pistons may come in contact with the valves leading to a serious repair and impairing the movement of your vehicle.

As this part lasts longer than a timing belt these will be changed between the 120,000 to 150,000-kilometer mark of a vehicle. However, this will still depend on the engine and the specifications of the manufacturer. It is also important to keep the timing chain well lubricated as using the wrong viscosity oil could damage the timing chain pins and plates.

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.

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 timing chain, much like a pacemaker, ensures that everything in your engine runs smoothly and efficiently. This chain allows all motor components to work in sync with one another and stops them from damaging or running into other components in the engine. One missed step could throw everything off balance.

That said, as the timing chain is a crucial part of your vehicle’s engine, making sure that it is in top condition is a priority and is an important part of your vehicle’s maintenance process. With that said here is a quick guide to understanding what a timing chain is what it does in relation to the engine of your vehicle.

The GAC M6 Pro is the smart choice for families who want space, comfort, and practicality without the bulk of a big van.

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.

In a similar fashion to what a timing belt does, a timing chain synchronizes the position of the pistons and camshafts of an engine. It ensures that the motor has the proper timing and allows the engine’s valves to open and close in accordance with the combustion process of an engine. The chain is located inside the motor and requires to be well lubricated at all times in order to prevent wear and tear.

These five features of the Mazda CX-90 are sure to give you an idea of how in-depth Mazda went to ensure their flagship crossover stands out.

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.

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.

The check engine light is onAnother indicator of a stretched or a damaged timing chain is the check engine light. The vehicle’s computer will display this warning light only if it detects something is wrong with the car. If its sensors detect something is wrong then the light will turn on requiring immediate attention and a scan to be conducted to get to the root of the problem.

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

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.

One auditory way to find out if your timing belt is failing is to listen for unusual rattling noises. A normal engine should have a consistent and smooth sound indicating that everything is running as it should. When a timing chain becomes stretched it will cause vibrations inside the engine that will produce a rattling sound as it idles.

$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.
