typically $250 - $300. just paid $260 to do my '02 impreza RS.
105k is the recommended time.
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??
As far as I know, all subarus have timing chains.
The 2.5 Liter 4 cylinder has a cam belt that MUST be changed every 105,000 miles. This is an interference engine.
A diagram for a 1998 Subaru Impreza can be found in a factory service repair manual. Local auto part stores are also connected to a computer database which will have a library of timing belt diagrams for every make and model.

You can't, it's done automatically by the ecu (engine management system)
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
My 2005 Subaru Impreza has a timing belt. And it just cost me an engine. Make sure you replace it based on the owners manual. Should be about every 100k miles. Don't make the mistake I made and neglect this.
According to the local Subaru dealership, it should be replaced at 105,000 miles (U.S.). Estimated price for parts and labor as of 2007 is $625.00 USD.
It has an interference engine ( according to Gates , they manufacture timing belts etc. )
yes, it has a belt that should be changed every 100,000 or so.
