Lionsfan1977 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 2015 Legacy 2.5 with 168k miles. It's getting tired and hear a knock / rattle on acceleration at times. I want a new legacy but they are too damn expensive yet I will have the cash for long block engine replacement. I live in western NY. What would something like that cost at a dealership to be done ? What's the warranty ? The car doesn't have any rust. If the engine was new it will last a long time. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverton Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Replacing the engine will be far cheaper than a new car. Just the short block is 2000-2500 from Subaru. And then the 20ish hours of labor to replace it. Best bet is call around to local Subaru independents and see if they'll quote you for the job. Subaru extended their engine warranty on this motor to 100,000 but you're a bit beyond that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to do with the oil consumption issues. You'd have to check with a local dealer, I know mine was very strict with it; if you didn't have a service history with them they pretty much told you to kick rocks, but like I said... at 168k it doesn't apply.

whitexc Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Where in WNY? As a fellow WNY'er I may be able to recommend at least a trusty independent. I would put an engine it if needed but a few quick tests would tell you the condition of your existing power plant. How do you know you are hearing a knock? They don't really come and go.....

Lionsfan1977 Posted August 26, 2022 Author Share Posted August 26, 2022 Rochester. I've thought about taking it to south main auto with Eric O yes its a drive but you know it would be done right. I drive a lot and just don't want any unexpected suprises with mechanical BS in the middle of winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
