PhilT Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 95,000 miles here. I've replaced the clutch twice, and pulled it out a third time to replace the clutch fork, all wheel bearings have had to be done, replaced the AC compressor, and a number of minor items. Stock turbo until 75,000 miles when I fitted the AVO420 and was in great shape when it came off. Oil changes every 3,750 miles, never used synthetic. Car runs great !

Gregory Smith Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 My 2002 Legacy limited now has 178,000 miles on it. It has the original clutch and alternator. I replaced the passenger side cv boot at about 150,000 miles and over the weekend replaced the original battery. I am leaking oil into the spark plug tubes and at this point I am not going to repair but just keep an eye on it. I still gets 28-30 mpg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preachers Sheets Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I have a little over 1,000 miles on my 2009 LGT! Anyhow, want to hear something freaky. I have a 1996 Chevy Cav with 217,000 on it, everything was original aside from the brakes/tires. The clutch was never changed. It was beyond dead and acted very funny but even with that it still drove perfect. Only used .25 of a quart of oil every 6,000 miles. The 2.2 powertrain/drivetrain from GM was pretty imrpessive.

c-lo Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 cars in the shop today getting timing belt and most likely the water pump replaced.

Max Capacity Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Some place on here I did a thread with photo's and prices (?) of the job. $800 sounds like a good deal to me. I would guess if I do another one, I'll be able to do it much faster. My friends 05 Outback had 75,000 a couple of months back. If she keeps it, I'm sure I'll get the chance to find out if the 2nd one is easier. I know I have had some issues with my car, but it's very comforting to know I have this car when the weather turns bad. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

987687 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 It cost me I think 1200 to have my timing belt, water pump, tensioner, and all idlers done. Plus $100 to be towed when the water pump seized and left me on the side of the road... I think the 1200 was a bit of a rip off, but I didn't really have any choice. I was in northern Maine, and that was the only place anywhere near me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpinefun Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 132,000 miles. Use for daily commute. 60 highway miles one way. No performance modifications. Regular maintenance. Replaced timing belt as recommended + water pump just in case. Mobil 1 every 5,000 miles. Nothing major, so far. Just replaced the passenger side front axle because of broken boot. Clutch still occasionally stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
