AnswerNo. The air conditioning belt only drives the compressor. The other belt drives the alternator and Power Steering pump. The water pump is driven by the timing belt. Technically you only need the timing belt to be functioning to be able to 'drive' the car under it's own power. It would however be running off battery power alone and would have no power steering.

What is the Difference between Subaru Outback and subaru legacy?

Out of personal experiance, the outback is a little more rugged, it has better suspension, but the legacy does just as well. I have had 2 legacy's, a justy and a svx. and lived in the catskill mountains, the legacy's both did a wonderful job in the winter time, I highly recommend both the legacy and legacy outback, but if you live out in the sticks with roads that are really rough you may want the outback. Its a little smoother on rough roads. But believe me, you will be VERY happy with either one! A subaru has always gotten me through horrible winters when other cars get stuck. If you are going to buy a used one, make sure it has all service records, if it has not been properly maintained you may run into some problems. I bought one in NYC that was not properly maintained and ended up putting more money into the car than I paid for it. If maintained properly it will last FOREVER! It is not uncommon for a Subaru to get over 300k miles. Make sure before you get it, it has had the timing belt replaced if it has over 90k miles. Or if you get a manual make sure the clutch is in good shape. If you go for the legacy get the LE. It is a better car all the way around. In all the years we have had subaru's, ours never once went in the ditch. But do not think they cannot go in the ditch, they can, but if you drive carefully it is very unlikely.


Why wont your subaru legacy start after changing battery?

Timing belt ok? pull covers and check timing belt and timing marks. compression test would also tell . for engine to run you need fuel, spark, and compression. you have two of the three ingredients for combustion? Good luck


Will the engine be damaged when the timing belt breaks on a 2000 Subaru Outback?

No, but why in the world would you take the chance? When the timing belt breaks the engine stops right now. It does not care if you are going to be run over by that truck you just pulled out in front of.
