Tidgy Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 My old 2006 2.5wrx suffered ring land failure at 60k. Standard car with full service history. I bought it with engine built to my spec in it. He drove it 400 miles after it started running funny and mashed the whole engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 turbo 2000 (X reg) owned for 2 years. Bought at 158k miles and now at 173k. Input shaft seal leak on gearbox likely caused by both age and myself. 2 synchro and 3 bearings replaced at same time due to age related wear.

GeoffLeggy Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 My Legacy 2.0 Twin turbo hasn't ever failed but spent an awful lot of money on prevention! Easily as much as a rebuild 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
