I am a newbie in Subs.
Need help, after how many Kilometres should the timing belt of Subaru Impreza sports wagon C'Z (year 2000 GF-GF1 MODEL) be changed?

100,000 kms is normally done.
Do homework before doing it yourself and you could save costs by going to CBC for bearings etc.

eyr liek AR said generally they are mainly all 100 tho (or 5 years)
if u need new bearings etc in some of the pulleys get aftermarket bearings and put them in or get some1 to put em in
when i did an outback i needed an idler pulley(i think it was idler) bearings and subaru genuine was over $150 and aftermarket was over $100 so i bought 2 new bearings and put them inside myself at a large cost of round 12 for both bearings
the bearings just pressed in one at front one at back and need to get the heights right for em

some sites seem to suggest that the belt need changing after 60,000 km, am abit confused.

nup got a book at work Firmly states 100 thousand
some of them are like 60 up to like 150 + but these ones are 100thousand

how many kays ur car done?

yeah I've always heard 100k aswell.

after 60,000 km

That is a common interval here in the states for belts however it is in miles not kilometers,i'm willing to bet you saw 60,000 miles not km.

60,000 miles = 100,000km

Piece of piss to change the belt, half the time idler will be fine to reuse.

I remembered that I bought 2 idlers (both were $72 for both from CBC where abouts Subaru was way over $100 and I forgot about it) it wasn't sprocket one, it was plain one as I needed new one as it was squealing, sprocket one was fine... re-used the tensioner & sprocket idlers.
