TbirdMan Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 after a bit of research, this ECU looks like it would be a good option for a swap: http://www.specialist-components.com/cnb/shop/sconline?merchantPageID=5&op=merchantPage-merchantPageDisplay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJH Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Every time I visit the forums I see this tread and get excited that there's some new discussion about Subaru doing a 180 and deciding to bring us a diesel. It took me until just now to realize that this is just the only thread in the new Outback section! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenMara Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 Guess im gona have to settle for a Outback with the 3.6 6cylinder i so want a diesel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue dragon Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I waited and waited for a Subaru diesel, but it never happened. Sold my outback and I'm bought an X5 diesel now. Will probably replace our Legacy GT with a 335D too. I can't stand the price of premium gas anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Schneider Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Blue Dragon- Very nice choice the BMW 3.0 diesel in any one of the many BMW chassis. Torque Baby..... My daily driver of 4 years is a MY06 VW Jetta 1.9 diesel coupled to a DSG (twin manual-auto gearbox) and with the abundant torque of the diesel and its high MPG making for an enjoyable comuter car. The solid MV5 VW chassis doesn't hurt either.

blue dragon Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I so convinced a co-worker about diesel that she bought an Audi A3 diesel. Unless its a weekend toy, I'm not going back to gas for a daily driver. Here's my diesel http://www.wardphotography.com/X5/IMG_1319.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Schneider Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 That Baby must scoot... The way a torquey modern day turbo diesel drives is the catch. Its a different kind of FAST coupled wth respectable MPG figures. My VW TDI just hit 4years old and 82K miles and the few maintenence items which are absent with a gas'er will cost about $600 to $700 or so. That said, the Bean counters can argue this way and that about the cost metric's surrounding Diesel vs Gas ownership. Gimme a BMW 3.0tt turbo diesel any-ole-day-of-the-week. (just install mine in the 5 series sedan - road trip Baby) I'm just saying...........
