Timing Belt

[mazheriqbal_mohammed]

Hi folks got a service coming up soon for my scoob and was going to be getting the timing belt changed, just wondering if anyone have tried out a non-Subaru timing belts?

Last time i was in Subaru were charging around £100 for a belt but i have seen other belts by Dayco (www.camskills.co.uk) or GGR for nearly half the price. Is there a difference in the quality of the alternative types of belts?

Not sure Igy

probably all made by the same company ..... just Subaru charge that little bit extra !!!

blueprint stuff from dingbro or brown brothers is pretty good.

When i was getting mine changed i got the dayco one, was about 40 cheaper and the mechanic (a mate) said thats what they always use and they are the exact same spec ......

Up to yourself though....

Thanks for your help guys

Had a similar feeling mate, as with most things your probably paying for the name

Ideally i was after the same belt that Subaru use although the price difference with the Dayco belt does make it tempting, but i would have piece on mind with a genuine part on the scoob.
