HIGH MILEAGE IMPREZAS
I have just brought a 1996 turbo with 100 thousand on the clock.it has been serviced regular with all the reciepts and when i test drove it everything seemed ok. After having the car a few days it has started to make a few noises and sometimes when ticking over in traffic it feels like its going to cut out.does this mean the engine is on its way out and should i be looking for a new engine.
any comments would be helpful.
thanks

Don't jump to conclusions and think its a big engine issue, probably something much simpler and cheaper to fix such as a sensor or two (MAF/lambda/sparkplugs etc). what noises by the way?

My last Scoob was an STI 5 wagon (purely a road car) - I bought it 3 years ago with 100k on it and it lasted another 30k before one of the piston rings failed.
My first track Scoob engine ( about 70k) failed after 8 track days with full decat/induction kit but no extra engine mapping to cope with the fact that it had started to run lean. That was a lesson learned!
