Has anyone got any idea what the cambelt changing intervals are on the classic Impreza wrx turbo? Mine's just gone in for its 90,000 mile service and i can't remember if it needs the cambelts doing or not. The car is my00.

45,000 and 90,000 are impreza cam belt changes. Not going to be cheap it you took it to a sealer.

Just heard back from the garage, apparently the cam belt tensioner was leaking. Wouldn't have liked that to seize!

So all in all glad the cam belts were due

My thoughts entirely. Being in the forces and travelling around a lot means i don't really have a trusted local garage so its the stealership for me i'm afraid.
