The 2.5 litre four cylinder engine in a 2000 Subaru Forester has a timing BELT
My dealer told me the 2012 Forester 2.5 (non Turbo) has a timing CHAIN. No belt to replace.
Most Subaru models use a timing belt, often referred to as a cambelt, particularly in their older and non-turbocharged engines. However, many of their newer models, especially those with turbocharged engines and certain boxer engines, utilize a timing chain instead. It's important to check the specific model and engine type to determine whether it has a cambelt or a timing chain. Always refer to the owner's manual for maintenance recommendations.
The E46 uses a timing chain. The last time a cambelt was used in a 3-series was for the E30. The carbureted 316, the 318is, and the M3 used a timing chain.
chain chain
it has a timing belt not timing chain .. cheers
The Subaru Forester typically uses a timing chain rather than a timing belt. This design generally requires less maintenance since timing chains are more durable and have a longer lifespan compared to timing belts. However, it's important to check the specific model year, as some engines may have different configurations. Always refer to the owner's manual for the most accurate information regarding your vehicle.
