I have a 2008 Subara Impreza. When should i change the timing belt? Do i also need to change the cogs, tension bars and water pump??
On a 2.5 liter engine it is located behind the timing belt cover.My advise, replace the timing belt when you replace the timing belt. It will have to come off anyway.
The fuel temperature sensor is located inside of the tank in the Subaru Impreza. This is the case for the cars that were made in the 1990's, at least.

Subaru recomend every 60,000 miles but should be changed evry time major work eg. changing water/oil pump, head gasket ect Peter from newcastle, mechanic for 8 years
Yes. You cannot see the water pump because it is in position to be driven by the timing belt. Always replace then together.
Water pump is located behind the timing belt cover and is driven by the timing belt. The thermostat is located on the bottom of the engine. Remove the two 10mm bolts from the plastic housing that the lower rad hose is connected to.
If you change the timing belt, I would replace water pump as well. Unless it's not working I would not replace it....

if you follow the lower radiator hose toward the engine, the thermostat housing is located at the end closest to the motor. I would HIGHLY recomend having a reputable shop change it, the bolts VERy commonly break in subarus, than you have to replace the whole water pump, which also includes a timing job.
Water appearing to be coming from the center of the enginge may be a leaking water pump. When the water pump begins to fail, water runs from behind the timing belt cover which may seem to be comming from the center of the engine. Hope this helps. Claude
