ABS light also on , but I think with minimal research in the archives or just back a page or two , there’s my solution. Can’t tell you guys enough that I am typically a good 10-15 years behind from the current models. Last car I bought to use as a daily was a 1992 in 2007. A 15 year old with around 119k. That car is still here , body not any much worse than back then. This green goblin is already 17 and holding 274k (just turned). Body fairly solid. Original owners , garage kept , receipts up the wazzoo. The not so funny part is he had TWO teenaged sons use this car and it looks great. I have ONE son who as a teenager destroyed TWO Subarus. Life.

It can be repaired in 15 minutes. No one removes the engine. Where did that come from? From what you’ve said so far - plan on replacing all the pulleys and both timing belts. Do not just replace the belt. if there’s oil then reseal the oil pump and replace the cam seal and cam cap oring. Personally I would just do this at the same time because it’s easy cheap and smart. it’s easy - loosen 12mm tensioner bolts and swap the belt. Put a slight amount of tension on the cam pulley to tighten the belt as you tighten the tensioner bolt down get an FSM online for free for any EA82 and ask any questions you might have.

Remove the fans. You can also remove the radiator to get more room to work. Follow the procedure in the FSM. And don't forget to turn the crank one full revolution between installing belt 1 and belt 2. My added steps - After the initial install of the 2 belts, start the engine, let it run for 5 to 10 seconds. No water pump drive, so don't go longer. Check that the belts are tracking well [not crammed against a guide, or a cover,etc. Repeat the tensioning steps as if you were installing the belts, following the steps [timing in the correct position for each belt, one turn between belts] in the FSM. Re assemble everything if all is well after this. Then you are good to go.
