Continental 40328 Engine Timing Belt

Continental 40328 Timing Belt for Subaru Applications

The Continental 40328 engine timing belt is built for Subaru engines that require precise camshaft timing and dependable belt tracking. It uses EPDM material and precision-molded teeth to maintain accurate contact with cogged components across a wide range of Subaru WRX STI, WRX, Impreza, Forester, Legacy, Outback, and Baja applications.

Key Features

• EPDM construction for resistance to heat, abrasion, ozone, shrinking, and elongation
• Precision-molded HTD 9.525 M tooth profile for consistent engagement
• Timing marks included for easier alignment during service
• 281 belt teeth with a 1.180 in top width and 88.487 in length
• Engine timing belt for Subaru interference engine applications

Detailed Product Overview

Continental part number 40328 is an engine timing belt engineered for accurate valve train synchronization in Subaru engines. The belt’s EPDM material helps it hold its shape under heat and operating stress, while the molded tooth design supports stable contact with the sprockets and pulleys it drives. This makes it a direct-fit timing belt choice for Subaru WRX STI, Subaru WRX, and Subaru Impreza timing belt service, as well as select Forester, Legacy, Outback, and Baja models. This part cross-references Dayco 95328 for the same application.

What This Timing Belt Helps Address

• Worn or stretched timing belt material
• Loss of camshaft timing accuracy
• Noise or irregular belt tracking from aged belt teeth
• Service replacement on Subaru interference engines
• Timing mark visibility during belt alignment

Installation Notes and Fitment

Fits 2013-2014 Subaru WRX, N/A, except STI, after 1/21/2012; interference engine application. Fits 2011-2013 Subaru Forester, N/A, except FB25 engine equipped with timing chain; interference engine application. Fits 2002-2012 Subaru Impreza, N/A; interference engine application. Fits 2005-2012 Subaru Legacy, N/A; interference engine application. Fits 2004-2010 Subaru Forester, N/A; interference engine application. Fits 2005-2009 Subaru Outback, N/A; interference engine application. Fits 2005-2006 Saab 9-2X, N/A; interference engine application. Fits 2004-2006 Subaru Baja, N/A.

Verify engine code, timing marks, and belt routing before installation. Because these are interference engine applications, correct timing alignment is critical during service. Confirm the belt tooth count, width, and length against the removed part before final assembly.
