Timing Belt - Subaru LEGACY 2002 Quick Reference Index

2. Timing Belt

! A single timing belt drives two camshafts (one in the left bank and one in the right bank). The
belt also drives the water pump by its non-toothed side.
! The timing belt teeth have a specially designed round profile which contributes to quiet opera-
tion. The timing belt is made of strong and inflexible core cords, wear-resistant canvas and heat-
resistant rubber material.
! A hydraulic automatic belt tension adjuster always keeps the belt taut to the specified tension.
Any manual belt tension adjustment is unnecessary.
