diesel subaru

[scoobysub]

looking at changing to a second hand diesel subaru lots of horror stories out there but are they really that bad . crank shafts braking seem to be the biggest thing at around 100.000klm and all second hand one have that on them now . i know there are a few in the club but dont think there on here much . i see theres 2 2011 impreza diesel's for 16k which is not bad if there reliable

Subaru diesel would not be the family diesel car of choice.

@brian was trying to find the post but couldn't

cheers dave so across the subaru diesel range . will stick with petrol for another while then

Poor long term reliabilty records.

A short engine from subaru is e4800 alone.

So a rebuild up at 7k.

Second hand engines hold their value and are super hard found. Around 2k.

So put fitting and service work loke cam chain etc on top. Be 3-3.5k at moment second hand road

And same risk all over again.

Simpily not worth it imo.

Shame alright. I drove a 2007 leggy diesel and it was very nice.

Think they only released them in japan in 2011


Japs are not fans of them at all.
