I had the whole system flushed. Dropped all the oil flushed out the engine. The garage did 3 road tests.. idle, short journey.. then up and down the dual carriageway took it to 70. Told me it was ready. I got about 1 mile before i heard a noise. So my quotes are.. 3.7k second hand engine from a scrap yard. 3 different companies and they were only £15 different. They must talk. Recon engine swap 6k Subaru top end fix only 9.5k Hence my plea.. and my unhappy thought about scrapping my car.

Hi, I could really do with some help. My turbo let go on my Legacy. I was going slow and only did 500 yards. I still had oil and there was no run on. I had the turbo changed and all seemed well but returning home from the garage I heard a noise and now I have an engine knock. I have been told it's a bearing slip / rodknock and that it's terminal. Turbo technics stripped my turbo when it went and said it was all there, so replacing the turbo was simple with no worry of the engine injesting anything. I have read up that this is quite a common after effect of a turbo going. I have only had the car 2 years.. it's a 2013 model and is mint. I have asked for loads of quotes. I am shocked at the cost of repairing these. Alot of people have never rebuilt Subaru engines.. I am at a loss, the car is far too good to scrap, but I can't afford 5k to repair it especially when it's worth 4k when fixed. So the help I need.. Do you know anyone who can help with the rebuild an engine that isn't going to ask me to remortgage.. Or do you know anyone who wants a legacy for spares Thanks
