Any good? Reliable? I did,nt even know Subaru made a diesel, and though I,m only guessing I would check it's not a shitty French thing just stuck behind a scuby badge as many people seem to be doing, IE ford ,vw, Toyota, Vauxhall to name a few Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kanny 21,762 Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 I'm not sure which years were affected but some had serious DPF issues might be worth just checking that out but that said if its on 90k plus miles its probably no affected. .. subarus are fairly bulletproof in General 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel cain 49,892 Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Just bypass the dpf if it has an issue, just another way for manufacturers to keep squeezing money from you. I Don't use fuel from supermarkets as that will f**k your motor up in no time at all. Took wife's motor to garage as it was playing up, told me Dpf was 75% blocked cars only done 100,000 miles, 1500 plus for new filter or 300 for new ecu and bypass it, they are making new cars and you be lucky if they last you 8/10yrs, they want us all driving electric and following like sheep. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
