bmx045 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I love it when people say "but when my car is full of oil at the F mark, it doesn't make the knocking noise, when it's low it does"Â Â this means your bearings are already shot and you're driving on borrowed time.

ClimberDHexMods Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 SeanC, have you considered buying or pricing out a OEM oil pickup tube instead of the KillerB? I have not followed the issue closely since Unclemat compiled the data and found the trend of failures being centered around the 2006 MY, but it may likely be the case that the current stock of pickup tubes are good. Something to consider in your research. [CENTER][B][I] Front Limited Slip Racing Differentials for the 5EAT now available for $1895 shipped, please inquire for details!

SeanC Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 I'm going with the stock pickup tube (assuming mine is cracked/broken) anyway. I'm getting rid of the car as soon as I get this fixed - if the motor is junk or not this car is going. Even if I do somehow get lucky and get the car running normally again, its obvious that its on borrowed time... And BTW, what is the deal with some people on this forum? I appreciate the help from those that did, but if you have a dumb comment, keep it out of my thread. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're just offloading your problems onto the next owner, who may or may not have any inkling that there is something wrong. I understand your desire to cut your losses, but if you feel like selling it, just fix the damn thing right before you do, or sell as-is with full disclosure of the problems and take the hit.

ClimberDHexMods Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Selling with full disclosure is the right thing to do, but that's all up to you.

He certainly won't be able to recoup all the money he puts in, but this is more a question of not being a douche than milking every last cent out of the sale. He'll end up with a nice down payment on another car either way, so why be a douche? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwm5094 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Doesn't help you posted your problems on a public forum. My buddy was looking into buying a LGT about a year ago. I found the same leggy on here and the guy put it FS right after he got a compression test with bad results. Just sayin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAMMER DOWN Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 No I haven't, but don't means it never happen before, Over 188k & still kicking all pumps, motor & turbo. Any metallic shaving in the pan? If not you could reinstall pan. New oil & filter & oil pressure gauge. To see what oil pressure reading you get. Specs. from ALLDATTA  Start the engine, and measure the oil pressure.

If the clearance exceeds the standard value, replace the rotors as a matched set. 0.04-0.14mm (0.0016-0.0055in) Measure the clearance between outer rotor and oil pump rotor housing. If the clearance exceeds the standard value, replace the oil pump case. 0.10-0.175mm (0.0039-0.0069in) Measure the clearance between oil pump inner rotor and pump cover. If the clearance exceeds the standard value, replace the rotor or pump body. 0.02-0.07mm (0.00087-0.0028in) OIL RELIEF VALVE Check the valve for fitting condition and damage, and the relief valve spring for damage and deterioration. Replace the parts if defective.

bmx045 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Bearings can go because of knock. Hell i didnt have knock or oil starvation and my bearings still spun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanC Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Found a few small fragments of metal on the pickup tube screen...Not sure how much time I want to spend digging if the motor is already toast. What do you think a reasonable price would be to sell the car for with a blown motor? Its in good shape, a few small dings here and there. Interior is in fairly good coniditon also. A mechanic at work offered me 1500...but that seems pretty low. Any used 2.5T seems to be pushing 4K at a junk yard, so everyone interested in fixing it for a profit isn't willing to offer very much. What would you take for it?

HAMMER DOWN Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 A ballpark would be; KKB - cost & labor of repair = starting point for asking price. Mike Mileage:331487 Retired/Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lousypirate Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I did this too. 110K on the motor. Picked up a complete used motor for 2500 shipped with three year warranty and 27k miles on it. Paid 900 for the swap and got to keep the core. The subaru dealer near me offered $1000 with the blown motor. They don't go for much when stuff doesn't work.
