Mimi sio mechanic but nashuku ni mambo ya timing belt and belt tensioner 41k sounds pricey. I did mine at Subaru Kenya for 35k some months back. Na sio ya offer. Learn first to treat your time as you would your money, then treat your money as you do your time.

Mimi sio mechanic but nashuku ni mambo ya timing belt and belt tensioner The timing system manages when the valves open and close to let air in or out. On most cars it lasts for 100,000km, after which time it must be replaced. Cars that use chains instead of belts mostly never need to have them replaced. The danger if it is not replaced is that the belt can snap, causing engine seizure. That is very expensive to repair. Sometimes more expensive than buying a new engine. PS: I am not a mech either. Learn first to treat your time as you would your money, then treat your money as you do your time.

It's true what @seppuku has said. I've a friend whose Mitsubishi IO cut the timing belt. He had to replace the whole engine! I need to examine mine before things snap!

Sounds like a pragmatic thing to do, especially after someone quoted KES 13,000 for a replacement yesterday. The alternative is to sell the damn car and buy an old Volvo from the 90's, then the street thieves won't ever have a chance with me.

Why would you beg for service like that?Buy the parts at Subaru Kenya when they have offers & pelekea any kawaida Subaru mech.No need to beg anyone. Formally employed people often live their employers' dream & forget about their own.

These lines went unanswered and they never called back. For subatech you really have to call [color=red] 3-4 times before they pick Who runs a business like that, with that kind of customer service? Yaani, a customer has to plead with them, beg, call 4X etc to see if they can be served? Even I wonder? These lines are for Japan Motors though, right? Or are you saying they are unlikely to be different from Subatech? Japan motors are different from subatech.The lines in red are for Japan motors the ones in blue are for subatech. Its not begging.For Ambani the sales person at the counter is also the one picking the calls hence s/he cannot cut customer short to pick a call.They dont have a dedicated customer care person And for subatech you dont have to go there with you car to identify a part.Just note your chassis number and they will find it for you If Obiero did it, Who Am I?
