Engine problem
 
I have owned an 03 WRX Blobeye Scooby 4 just less than a year.

Took it for its 1st service since I'v owned it, and BANG :( , they have given me an estimated bill to replace the small motor of £2500 :brickwall , has this happened to anyone else, My engine makes a slight ticking, cant say I feel like its lost power.

A month ago, my alternator belt had broken, I replace that which is also for my power steering, then replaced my aircon belt as that had been slightly damaged too. :confused:

Is this related, can anyone give me some help.

From what Iv seen when looking it seems that the 2001 -03 modles have had a few of this problems, and I have been sugested into gettin an Reconed engine to replace mine.

Any help is great thanks Jamie :D

Oh Sorry If you strugle reading this, Im not a great speller. :cuckoo:

how many miles after the service did it go bang:(

You can get a used sti engine for that much.

Did it go bang AFTER the service (or at least after the oil/filter change), per chance......?!

Or are you saying it went during the journey TO the garage?
