What's wrong with this picture?
Well this sucks..
Needless to say the svx is down for a day! Never seen this happen to a subaru before.. What's worse , my wife now gets the WRX to take to work!! Would have had it fixed in a few hours if part folks around here were better, I dont get them till 11am tommorow.. Oh yeah, can anyone tell what happened?

Yep ,
It holds the timing belt tensioner and idler ... The bolt holding the idler snapped off, as you can see.. I had to drill and extract it, etc. The belt itself also cut through the plactic timing cover...what a mess... anyway, get all the parts at 11am today..should be rolling again by 12!...still find it odd, bolt must have been over tightened... |

Back on the road.
Had to use a salvage yard for the bolt though, Subaru parts will not sell it without the whole Idler...$118 I was quoted.. Anyway , i hadnt done Subie timing belts in over a year, good refresher.. |

hmmm
Well, I hope you arent running it that way!
One pebble or stick and the belt's gone.. It obviously shouldnt run like that , I would check all your idlers. If the cover is cut through..get one from salvage ,,They are $118 new...! Good luck.. G |
