160,000 km major service. Anything over 150,000, think about getting it done, There's a set of bearing and the hydraulic tensioner (sometimes water pump) as well that should be done at the same time.
It has a timing belt. There's a Youtube on how to replace the timing belt for a 2002 Subaru Forester, if you're a self do'er. Your 2001 should be similar or exact to it.
If the engine cranks but won't start, the starter and alternator would not be the problem. Was the engine running before you changed the timing belt ? Do you have spark to the plugs and fuel to the injectors ? Do you have normal compression on all cylinders ?
PRETTY MUCH WHEN IT GOES,SOME TIMMING CHAINS OUTLAST THE CAR IT SELF OTHERS AROUND 180,000 IF U WANT TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM B 4 IT HAPPENS IS THIS A 06 FORESTER?IF SO AROUND 170,000 USUALLY,ANY OTHER I RECOMMEND THE SAME KINDA UP TO THE PERSON
The timing belt on this car should done based on which ever comes first recommended mileage or time basis. If this car has the 2.5 litter Engine I would recommendchanging it ASAP. The 2.5L engine is What is referred to as an interference engine which means that if the timing belt breaks the pistons will slap the valves rendering the engine useless. Keep in mind a timing belt is made only of rubber and nylon cord it is not uncommon for them to fail before the recommended service intervel
If the timing belt is broken or has lost some teeth then you will get no fire. Some models have an inspection port that you can see the belt through. Have someone try to start engine while you watch timing belt. If belt is stationary or moves in jumps then this is your problem.
