The advantage of these kits is that you have all the parts in one kit and in one delivery. The original pump might not be leaking, but are you willing to bet that it will not leak in the next 60,000 or 90,000 miles? If so, you are better off replacing it now. This is not good for an interference engine. The worst-case scenarios when they fail, they will cause the timing to change. The best-case scenario is that when they wear, they will cause noise. The reason why these are in the box is that they can fail. If you decide to leave the old one on the engine, it can fail and cause noise and alignment problems for the belt. Here is the cogged idler pulley inside our bearings and seals. It should be replaced along with the belt. In this Subaru application, the replacement interval is 100,000 miles. The recommended replacement interval can range from 60,000 to 90,000 miles depending on the model year. This is Continental’s PP328LK4 Pro Series Plus that fits many Subaru 2.5 liter four-cylinder engines. Inside the box are all the components required to replace the belt. Let’s take a look at the Continental Pro Series Plus kit. And when installed correctly, Continental warranties the components to the same duration as the original equipment warranty that came from the car manufacturer. And for peace of mind, these components look like the original part and meet or exceed that it fits form and function so that the part will install the same as the original parts. These kits contain the belt and all necessary drive components for the application. The Continental Pro Series and Pro Series Plus kits contain the components for a customized solution. All of these components have wearable parts, such as bearings, which can fail.Ĭontinental has timing kits for every need. It’s a good idea to replace pulleys and the water pump as well. By replacing the belt and the tensioner, you are really returning the timing system to a like-new condition. When a timing belt is replaced, it’s a good idea to take a total systems approach and replace all the necessary components. Belt replacement should be done as recommended, and it’s that simple. Recommended maintenance and replacement of the belt could be at 60,000, 90,000 or 100,000 miles. It is so important to replace timing belts at the recommended service intervals called out by the car manufacturer. If the engine is an interference engine, engine damage can occur to pistons and bows. If the engine has an overhead cam design, timing belt failure is serious business. One is a serpentine belt on the front of the engine that drives the engine accessory such as the alternator and the air conditioning compressor. Many engines today have two or more belts that will need to be replaced at some point.
