Garage want to charge me $200 cant afford that right now. Thoughts anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Make sure the shop is familiar with Subaru, since the sensor is held on by one bolt and is under the alternator and any monkey with 2 wrenches can replace it. The shop sounds like they assume it's behind timing chains and belts like other vehicles. It can be accessed easily by removing the alternator. It is not necessary to remove any timing belt covers or anything else. This is a job you can do yourself with 10m and 12mm tools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairtax4me Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 They can be easy to install, or they can be a nightmare of rust. Why does the shop say you need this sensor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
