Gates timing belt kit review.
You need a complete timing kit not just a belt.
Overall this kit has performed well with no issues post installation.

Fyi dayco don t manufacture all parts but also import and bundle gates is similar but you will find that there is a major canadian manufacturer that supplies the mass of parts that all manufacturers require.
Gates is the more popular choice for a reason but don t underestimate dayco either.

Gates timing belt kit.
I only have about 35k miles on the first one i installed so i can t speak to overall longevity but so far so good.
Timing belt driven water pumps should always be replaced at the same time as the timing belt to reduce warranties customer comebacks and preserve long term system performance.
Getting access to the timing belt on a subaru is no easy task it requires removing the accessory belts radiator crank bolt and pulley and finally the cover.
