removing the torque converter bolts werent easy. hell of a time with the subframe iin the way and very little room to place a wrench in there
Subarus are pretty much the only car where it's reasonable to consider replacing the head gaskets in the event of a blown head gasket on a 20 year old vehicle, because working on them is so simple. Blow head gaskets on a 20 year old Ford? You're most likely going to be looking at an engine swap because it's less shop time than replacing the head gasket (and requires less special tools).
My daily driver is a 1990 jeep wrangler YJ, easy as heck to work on ,replaced the springs and hardware, you never reuse the U bolts on the axels got some parts off of E_Bay because the dealers ran out of stuff since 201`7, body is rough but every thing under the body is new stuff beats paying for the 80 thou crap they make to day
heck I worked on Subies when they still had push rods under the block like VW , you could un bolt em and pick em up and carry them around in the shop, and the were lighter the VW air cooled engines
I was just quoted a head gasket job for $3500usd in Canada…. Might change a tiny bit if I tell them I just changed the timing belt water pump with Aisin parts. At this point I'm looking for a reman engine from the states and do an engine swap, cheaper. Any recommendations? You rock!
Should I buy a 2011 subaru impreza 2.5 I 5 speed? Everything already had been done supposedly.
Have a 2021 Crosstrek. Why did my mpg go way down suddenly…seemingly after first oil change
yup very easy to work on , i own a few of them and being a hyundai/isuzu tech i think subaru are so damn simple
I bought my 2012 Outback about a year ago with 89,000 miles on it. I was thinking about changing the timing belt, but when I took the inspection cover off and turned the engine over by hand with a wrench, I noticed I was able to see the white timing marks on the belt and also, the name "Subaru" was easily readable in white letters. Does this mean the belt was changed recently by the previous owner? When I looked at it the car had about 110,000 miles on it. Maybe the belt was changed at 80,000? I bought it from a dealer and when I asked him, he told me it had a chain. Since many of them do, I assumed it was an honest mistake. Any thoughts? Anybody?
