March 9, 201510 yr Just thought i'd see what the general thoughts were when deciding to buy an Impreza with the engine management light on and a rattling heat shield. The car I am interested in is a Subaru Impreza 2.0L WRX AWD, apparently the eml has been on and off intermittently for the past 2 years. So what are your thoughts people? Good idea or not? Its a 2002 model by the way.
March 9, 201510 yr I'd get a code reader and see whats wrong could be nothing or could be a big bill down the road
March 9, 201510 yr Rattling heatshield and eml has it been decatted ? If so has it been mapped ? As nevell said I'd want to know why the eml was on just in case it was something serious . On the other hand I think the bugeyes do have a easily repaired cam sensor earth fault which sometimes causes a random eml . So it could be a simple fix but me personally I'd wait for a well cherished example , unless it was cheap enough to set some money to one side for repairs
March 9, 201510 yr cam sensor is a big fault, but once its on its on, i had it on my bug and classic, the issue with subaru's is the cheap ones may seem like a bargain but are generally cheap for a reason. ive been on the recieving end of a cheap subaru and im now upto 5k :(
March 10, 201510 yr O2 sensor can cause intermittent eml I had it on a classic. But yeah best bet cheap code reader.
