    Subaru Impreza 1997: Timing belt replacement interval?

    Subaru Subaru Advice Subaru Impreza Subaru Impreza Advice Subaru Impreza 1997

    I purchased my 1997 Subaru hatch in 2008 with 32,000 genuine km on the clock and have since increased that to 57,000. When should I look at changing the timing belt, is it based on km, or in this case age?

    Subaru says the belt should be changed every 100,000 km or four years, whichever comes first. If it hasn't been changed since new then it should be changed as soon as possible.
