Hi,
New to the forum and looking to do my timing belt.
Just wondering if anyone has changed their own timing belt,water pump,pullys etc. themselves and
if so which kit did they use?
My Liberty is a 2003 Gen4 2.5 AWD sedan EJ252 (non turbo) engine.
Theres heaps of info on the 251 and 253 engines but not alot on the 252's
I was thinking from what I have read that there all pretty much the same but buying parts from o/s its hard to
match up numbers...our Australian VIN doesn't seem to be recognised o/s and thus they cant say for sure they fit.
I was looking at getting a genuine kit and found this AISIN kit which uses genuine Japanese made parts.

I emailed the guy with a genuine parts list I got from Subaru in Victoria (below) but he said the belt, waterpump and one of the cogs was different?

So....has anyone had any luck buying a kit from Overseas or do people just by local and pay the extra to be sure...
Cheers
