How much/ where to go for 200km cambelt service?

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

My BP legacy GT has just cranked over 200,000 kms and i'm looking into the cambelt service I'm assuming I need to get done.

What is it exactly that should be changed in this service? I've heard it's more than just the belt itself?

I've been going to Stubaru for services up to this point because he's been doing good work, even if on the less cheap side of things.

Is there somewhere/someone else who would be a better option cost and quality wise?

How much does this service usually cost?

Cheers guys, Sorry for so many questions! Just wanna make sure I'm getting the right stuff done and for a reasonable price.

Hard to suggest a place to get serviced as you haven't put your location ;)

But as far as the service goes... I'd be looking at belt, tensioners, idlers, water pump, fresh coolant (some people reuse the old stuff), cam seals, I think that's about it?

Probably set you back $1250 - $1500 depending on the place, I paid $1100 a couple of years ago for all that on a non-turbo 1994 Legacy if that's any help price-wise.

Sorry, thought the fact that I posted in the christchurch subforum would make it obvious, plus the fact I've gone Stubaru who's based in CHCH :P

Alright, that's around what I was thinking in the first place, cheers for the response!

Whoops... didn't see the Chch forum section part, my bad!! I'm also from the North so wasn't familiar with Stubaru.

Yeah it is pretty high now haha, I got the car about 2 years ago and I think i've put on about 40,000 kms since i got it... Lots of road trips haha.

My flatmate has a 1999 outback, and that's got about 5000k's less than mine does... Admittedly mine is also from MY2003 as far as i'm aware, making it almost 13.

I would contact SAS here on the forums, good work and a good price. Many members in christchurch use him for all work from servicing to race car builds

Mean, i'll hit SAS up, cheers. I'd heard a couple of names that forum members usually trust, just wasn't sure whether that was simple jobs or full workshop style repairs.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
