AISIN TKF-006 Engine Timing Belt Kit with Water Pump - Compatible with Select Subaru Forester, Impreza, Legacy, Outback

If you have a Subaru you want this brand. The parts are all Japanese made and fit perfectly. Quality is much better than the aftermarket stuff I have seen. Don’t risk destroying your engine with the cheap bearings on some of the aftermarket kits. Everything in this kit fit my 2010 Impreza EJ253 SOHC perfectly.

Perfect kit installed no problem. Comes with instructions that list all the torque values and belt routing. Good quality Japanese bearings. Take note: there is one idler pulley that looked different from the OEM. It’s the cogged roller next to the water pump. It’s just a slightly different design but the dimensions are the same. It confused me for a few minutes but it’s even mentioned in the instructions. It works perfectly just make sure you put it on the right way.Overall great kit and I’d definitely recommend it or buy it again.

Super fast delivery to NZ. Had everything needed, exactly as per description. Couldn't argue with the price.

2011 Subaru Outback 2.5 102,000 miles.Recently handed this car off to our college-bound son. Had the brakes done, new tires, oil changed, wheel alignment.All done at local shops. Looked at the recommended service items, of which one was timing belt replacement. Called a few local shops, and the figures they were quoting were ridiculous. I had one say $2500!!!Did some online sleuthing, and discovered that the timing belt change (plus water pump) seemed to not be out of my capabilities.I have a decent collection of tools, and decided to go for it myself. A decent torque wrench and metric socket set is essential. There is a YouTube channel called MrSubaru, and this guy gives pretty clear instruction on how to do this.This Aisin kit is pretty much what is recommended for Subarus. The parts are Japan quality.Took me a number of hours to do this, but if I had to do it again I think I could probably do it in an hour, maybe 2.Car runs great, and should be set for another 100,000 miles.I also replaced the serpentine belt while doing this, as it needs to be removed anyway during the procedure.You’ll also need to get the Subaru coolant if you replace the water pump (why not, it’s in the kit!). I bought 2 gallons here on Amazon.Good luck.

All parts in the kit were made in Japan and are high quality!The price isn’t the cheapest, but you get what you pay for!!!I wasn’t gonna cheap out on parts as important as these, I did get a quote from a Subaru dealer for the timing belt job and they were only gonna do the timing belt and tensioner for over $900cad.So I decided to buy this kit for $510cad. and replace all of the components myself, I added a new thermostat and coolant and still saved $300, job is fairly easy if you got some basic mechanical ability and tools and a garage. Hell for the 300 you save you can buy all the tools you need lol.So hopefully now our family car is good for another 10years or 160K kms.
