ellyssian Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I tried by hand and it didn't budge. That sort of answers my question about whether or not it should move freely. I knew it should if the waste gate is not attached to the actuator, but I wasn't sure how much play it should have while connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellyssian Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I still need to try putting a pressurized line on the actuator, as Orbach's in Denver advised to try that, highly doubting that the turbo was part of this problem. My son and I replaced the plugs and the misfires are gone. I'll keep an eye on it, but I think I can breathe easier for the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say "Misfires", is it when you rolled into the throttle or stepped on it hard the card would kind of just buck and skip and the power just kind of jumped around? I'm having the same issue if so. 2008 LGT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having the same issue if so. 2008 LGT You could feel them hit, but they triggered CELs (0301, 0302, 0303, & 0304; misfire on cylinder 1, 2, 3, & 4) and the CRUISE light flashed to let me know the cruise control was disabled.

Gotcha... Mines not throwing any codes or anything. Just when you get on it it sometimes skips and jumps just like the turbo isn't working properly... But yet once it decides to stop all the power is there like it should be. I don't seem to lose any boost or anything when this happens, so not sure where to start. Oh well...

They are few and far between from what I can tell (I'm 34). '12 Indigo Blue 2.5i. Only thing that makes me stand out at all is the lack of badges and just a clean car, still much work to tint is next thought once the medical bills settle down.

timbo7 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Mine doesn't really stand out either. I painted the grill black, window tint, and the DIY front lip, debadged as well with l7 badges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlazingAsura Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Siper, where were you a month ago!? I wouldn't be replacing the motor in the LGT I just got if I found a reasonably priced LGT... It's getting a remanufactured short block with a new turbo, and a new oil pan, and filter, and pump, and.....

DigitalRPM Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I don't mind one bit! Basically, it's a money-saving move that I'm really REALLY reluctant to pull the trigger on. Even coming back to this community has made that even harder, these boards are just so fun and informative. But, what it boils down to is a potential move from the Bear, Delaware area to St. Louis, Missouri due to the GF receiving a hefty college scholarship from the Miss Delaware pageant. (Of course, the ONLY college it's eligible for is in Missouri) Even though the move won't happen until next summer, getting a much less-expensive car payment for a year will save money that'll make the transition smoother. Moving across the country doesn't worry me one bit, but getting rid of a car I absolutely love and then having to deal with something ELSE screws with my head.

So, anyone near williamsport who wants to severely thrash a Subie hater/scum of the earth!?!?! So sorry, man. Frankly, I was (and still am) perfectly happy with the car. I've just always loved wagons and hatchbacks, and really miss having one. Tried to buy an LGT wagon when I was shopping in '08, but the one I drove was in horrible shape, and I couldn't find any others (except a beautiful SWP/tan 5EAT a couple months after I bought mine, of course - another guy from the forum bought it). So I've been content with the sedan, and it's been reliable and fun, but I want to try something new. Never owned a German car, and ya may as well try something different, every once in a while. I'll never say a bad word about Subaru, though - besides, my wife still has hers and will probably get another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
