has the dreaded big end issue got better with age?
 

Hi all,

I used to run a 1996 2000 turbo that I ended up replacing the engine due to the dreaded big end issue.......

I was just wondering.. have subaru made any significant improvements to this down fall over the years.....? I have no idea..

I'm seriously thinking of getting another beast.. something around 2002 plus age?? VERY tempted to go down to the steal and take a new model for blast... but I know I would end up buying it and can not really afford it !!!

So - back to question - Scooby engines... better with age?

Thanks

Not AFAIK...

errr..no

plenty of new age with rebuilds around

le to get some ideas also regarding newage suffering from big end problems?

mine just went after 35k

scarey reading!! has anybody ever got to the bottom of why scoobys are so prone to this? It can't all be down to poor maintenance.
