Well after 3 years of Impreza ownership it is time to say goodbye.

I was on my was to have it serviced on Saturday when it went bang.
It was a 98 turbo unmolested and only 63K on the clock.

Did I enjoy it? Every second.

Will I buy another one? Probably not.

 

MAF sensor?

 

Not common on that year to be honest, don't know as the cars been sold. I would only have been interested in a proper job and I couldn't justify the expense due to the value (or lack of it) of the car.

 

eeek 63k, unlucky mate.

Makes me wonder about my classic, just passed 50k

Any idea what parts went pop ?

 

It can happen to anyone; my MY00 lost a big end at 62k and nobody ever really found out why. The dealer's suspicion, based on another car with a very similar chassis number that had the same failure a few weeks later, was that the bolts that hold the oil pump on were defective or not done up properly.

 

not good mate, tuff luck............. go on, get another one!

 

I would, but the fact that I treated this car so well, spent £££'s keeping it tip top and it just let go like that has put me off owning another one. Don't get me wrong, if i hadn't had the experience I'd recommend it to anyone. But it's a case of been there and done that, now time for a bit of German.

 

use this and uprate the engine then put it back in thats what my mate done with his pulsar

 

 

Nightmare for you , mines a 98uk car just clocked 96k with no probs in the three years i've had it, touch wood, if it went pop i'd have to get another one, would miss it too much.

 

just unlucky, but yes get another
