The guy told me exactly what I posted ...

The one directly under the tensioner is the water pump. No I have no diagram, but I have a picture.

Hey, that's my garage...and engine!

The pulley to the left of the water pump is just an idler pulley.

Lol no sweat, it just took me by surprise!

No clue the guy told me it was the one with teeth on it not the pulley

Thanks for the help - can I get either of these from an auto parts store or from the dealer

If it is the idler pulley, most likely the dealer is going to be the only source for a new one. If you were of the opinion that a used one would suffice you could post a WTB add in the parts shed. Here is the link http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewforum.php?f=15

Just be sure to specify what year, size of engine and your location ( for shipping price estimation ).

I'm sure somebody on here has what you need and you will get it for way less than the dealer price.

They're under $30 brand new on Ebay. Just search "subaru idler" and you'll find tons of them...they're the same for nearly all EJ series engines.

Good to know. Thanks for the info.

The dealer wanted $87 (closest option)

the mechanic found it at the local autoparts store for $60

I went for the $60 just to get the car back hopefully today

thank you everyone for the help - greatly appreciated

Damn that's crazy expensive. I'd have sold you one for the price of shipping with 73K miles but works fine.

pnyklr · Post by **pnyklr** » Wed Dec 02, 2009 3:23 pm

macipusy · Post by **macipusy** » Wed Dec 02, 2009 4:32 pm

check the coolant level....might be the thermostat or water pump.

pnyklr · Post by **pnyklr** » Wed Dec 02, 2009 5:31 pm

coolant level is fine time for the junkyard I think

pnyklr · Post by **pnyklr** » Wed Dec 02, 2009 5:36 pm

a little oil in the antifreeze it looks like and some white smoke

Before you send it away, I'm sure people would want parts off of it.

pnyklr · Post by **pnyklr** » Wed Dec 02, 2009 10:40 pm
