Hi everyone.
I am Australian and have a 2018 wrx sti that has a timing belt change coming up. My local mechanic has told me to buy the parts and he'll install them.
Is this everything he needs ? Subaru Genuine Timing Belt/Water Pump/Thermostat Kit - Subaru STI 15-21 TBKIT008 | Pro Speed Racing


I note it says "Note: Suits Subaru Models with OEM Water/Oil Cool assembly as water pumpe requires three ports. Not suitable for models with only two ports on water pump"
So its fine as mines stock? I was confused, I thought there was 2 models of water pumps and you need to inspect to see which type mine is.
Thanks in advance.

You need the 3 port pump. Check the part numbers they list in the description, they list the 2 port pump. I'd call them to double check before buying.

Edited**

If you have an EJ257, then it should have the 3 port water pump. That kit seems like it has everything.

I would recommend doing the oil pump and its seals while you are there. Also, id suggest getting the o-rings for the AVCS gears since your are going to be locking the camshafts using a cam locking tool. Replace the AC and accessory belt. The way I see it, if its coming off then its getting replaced. You're going to need coolant too btw.

3rd port is for models with the oil cooler

Thanks heaps for the advice everyone.

So the listing is incorrect? Very confusing

FYI my car is bone stock.

Just call them to confirm before you order. They have it listed with the wrong part numbers for whatever reason.

 

[JohnSub2013sti]

Your car has a oil cooler which requires the 3 port water pump
I would call them and confirm its a 3 port water pump like said above

 

[matthewgengar]

I will call them when they open. Could you guys please tell me which part number isn't correct please and what it should be ?

 

[matthewgengar]

Could someone tell me which part number is incorrect please. Is it the pump that isn't matching up? That matches when I googled the water pump number.

Sorry I'm confused. Their listing does say it's a 3port and it's not suitable for 2 port doesn't it ?

 

[JohnSub2013sti]

As long as it the 3 port your good. I would just call and ask if it's the 3 port

I'll get you the pn tommorow if you still need it

 

[matthewgengar]

I was looking at something like that. There's stuff in there I don't need though isn't there ? Can I buy just the water pump from that and use the rest from the other package ?

I'm really confused because when I google it that incorrect number keeps coming up. I might just get the dealer to do it then if it mucks up it's on them.

 

[JohnSub2013sti]

You can do whatever, but the IAG kit is way better in my opinion though and has everything that's good to change minus an oil pump. Which is up to you if you want to change it also...
Plus, you're not wondering if the parts are right if you go with IAG

Buy it direct from them and save 250usd

I am Australian I'm not sure if I can get from them directly.

I'm going off of years recommended not KMs. Car only has 56000km so I think ac belt and whatnot would be a waste ?
