To change the timing belt on a 2003 Subaru Outback 2.5-liter engine, first, disconnect the negative battery terminal and remove the engine covers. Then, drain the coolant and remove the front timing belt covers. Align the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft, remove the old belt, and install the new timing belt while ensuring proper tension. Finally, reassemble all components, refill the coolant, and reconnect the battery. It's advisable to consult a repair manual for specific torque specifications and procedures.
The 2013 Subaru Outback has a FB25 engine, which uses a timing chain.
Generally it is recommended replacing the timing belt and water pump on a 4 cylinder Subaru engine at 10 years or 100,000 miles, which ever comes first.
The Subaru 2.5 L engine is a non-interference engine. If you change the timing belt when it should be changed you don't need to worry either way.
The 2.5 liter 4 cylinder engine in a 2000 Subaru Outback is an interference engine ( according to Gates , they make timing belts etc. )
Chances are it will not. What will damage the engine is that truck that runs over your car when the engine fails as you try to drive in front of it. Don't take the chance. Change the timing belt.
In front of the Engine, under the Belt Covers.....
it should be changed every 100,000 miles
Subaru does use a timing belt. Please ask a question that can be answered.
Subaru uses a belt.
your h6 has a timing chain
No, it has 2 timing chains.....
By drive belt; I assume you mean a timing belt. On a 3.0 H-6, there is a timing chain in place of the belt (Very durable). It is housed behind cast aluminum timing chain covers on the front of the engine. On an engine with a timing belt, I would do the change myself; but I recommend that a timing chain be replaced by a Subaru dealer simply for the fact that the tension, alignment, and timing can be hard to set yourself with a chain.
