SWARM_LOGIC Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Morning good people I routinely get my 06 hawkeye sti type uk serviced at my local subaru dealer last service the noticed oil near my turbo it could be nothing but they said could be bottom end gone or turbo gone worse case scenario iys going back for full inspection Diagnosis next week if is bad nears there quoted 2.5k for new turbo or new short block engine rebuild 5k does these prices sound OK thanks for reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Not sure how oil near the turbo indicates bottom end issue? I would be looking at oil breather, turbo seal, turbo oil supply hose, turbo oil return...... The new turbo cost sounds like they are sourcing a unit from Subaru. It can be a pain to replace dependent on how seized the nuts and bolts are. I sourced a refurb unit (with upgraded core) from fastline in Northampton for about £650 so then it is just labour and gaskets. For a short block rebuild I would have said more like 3k but that relates to what you find once the engine is in bits and the type of items / quality / spec used in the reassembly - any engineering work done to bores, head skim etc (Subarus can go oval over time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWARM_LOGIC Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 Thank you apparently it turns out there is a high volume of oil in intake back up to the turbo so needs a new turbo.part of me wants subaru to do the work but I'll have a look thanks for your reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 tbh i wouldnt trust a dealer to do anything, even an oil change. experiances i;ve had with them have been pretty bad, to point of having to get work done a second time to put right what they !Removed! up. Bear in mind its only a limited numbers i;ve had dealings with ad some will prob be better than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
