I have a 94 sabaru legacy wagon having trouble with the timing belt install

Depends on which belt - if it's the timing belt, no, the engine will no longer run, and if you have interference engine, you can ruin your engine. If it's the power steering belt, yes, you will just loose power steering. If it's the alternator belt, yes, for a while, until your battery runs out of power. If it's the air conditioning belt, yes, the car will run.

You may have a broken timing belt.

Hello. Replacing the clutch in a 4WD is a pretty big job. Dealerships charge it as a ten hour job. It could take from 8-12. Joe

CLICK on the following LINK. It has the Belt Diagrams you will need.

If you would: Before Clicking: Let me know if this helped you, or if you have any additional information or questions. Feel Free to contact me at FixYa.com

The Timing Belt Marks for the Impreza Wagon and the Legacy Wagon will be the equal of the sportswagon au82motor you have.

probably resulting in bad instalation !
i sugest you to klean the area with large amount of break kleaner and then drive the car to find the exact location of leakage to make the repair easy ...could also just try to tigntnig a bit all the screws again!

Wired coil overs ?


Did you swap computers as well ?

They recommend timing belt changes on Subarus every 125K miles.

you should have no trouble swapping the automatic transmission from one car to another just be sure that the part number on the transmission reads 4EAT the gearing has not changed much only the filtering setup the newer version is better too

The water pump is run by the timing belt.Involves the draining the antifreeze,removing the radiator/condensor fan motors,harmonic balancer,alt./ac./p.s. belts, timing covers and timing belt.Along with a new pump,a new timing belt should installed.Timing marks are critical and it should be repairer by a garage.Should take about 1 to 2 hours or so to do if everything comes apart easy.Also there is no cap or rotor,only a coil pak.Hope this gives you a better idea.

There is a belt tensioner on the front of the engine block that needs to be taken off and compressed(use a vise if possible) you can use a small allen key or something of similar size to lock piston intoethe compressed position . Then reinstall. I am assuming that the belt routing is correct but the compression of the tension cylinder needs to be done for proper belt tension.
