Subaru Timing Belt shredded & some Part broke off—How to handle?
Chirping sound yesterday :-( ... then it stopped—so, I
drove maybe 7/miles to my mechanic. (Not impressed w.
with local Subaru dealer). A 2006 Wagon, only 77k miles. I
could see the belt looked shredded and off one of
the ‘hubs’. But mechanic said a part had also broken or
broken off & can be hard to get.
My first major repair, but been happy w. maintenance he’s
done. Is this a repair most good mechanics can handle? If
mine doesn’t have the part on order today (Thurs), should
I try to go elsewhere? A very busy shop. And I’m age-
vulnerable for sure re Covid virus, do need to be socially
distant, do need car, Advice?
Also, car did not overheat driving it to the mechanic — is
that a good sign re possible engine damage?
