Hi All,

Does the 2006 Forrester with a 4 cyl engine
use a metal timing chain or a rubber timing
belt?

If rubber, how many miles before it needs
to be changed?

Many thanks,
-T

Rubber belt on the 4, chain on the 6.

Various miles given on older ones, I think yours is 105,000 miles.

I had mine replaced at 98K "just because" (engine was apart for warranty
head gasket repair, but it looked almost new.
