DryBear Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Your hood was smoking ? was it on fire...sorry had to ask. My guess is an oil leak from the passenger side valve cover gasket - at least that is the problem I have lol Sent from my SM-T217S using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Had to replace the front O2 sensor again in the wagon. The OEM one lasted about 50,000 miles. I put a Denzo in. lets see how long this one last. Car runs well another 3 day weekend skiing. Seems to be getting about 24mpg on the drives up to VT this winter. I try to keep it around 70mph on the highway drives up and back to CT. The car gets better mpg in the summer time. But that's because of what they do to the gas. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

BoozeRS05 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 ^ I thought Denso was the OE supplier for our O2 sensors? EB's Subaru journal - 2005 LegacyGT Wagon & 2014 Forester FB25 (2008 specB - RIP) IG@legacygtliving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTBwrench Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Just approaching 209,000. After my recent suspension swap, the wagon is now the 4th best feeling vehicles I've ever been in. 1st - Ferrari California, 2- STi 3-BMW Z4. I'm pretty happy with it. Time to save up for an alignment, trans fluid drain & fills, and other little tidbits.

LatentWagen Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 California feels like a box truck compared to the 458 :lol: Yep, nothing compares to the 458, and I've driven almost all of them. The FF is awesome, too, but in a whole different way. The California drives like a Maserati GranTurismo convertible, but with a flappy paddle gearbox. It probably should've been a Maser in the first place, as it's not much of a Ferrari. The new Cali T isn't bad... torque helps. LW's spec.

02603sec Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Excellent about 4 weeks without turning a wrench. drove it Saturday, sounds like maybe another wheel bearing is on it's way out, but If I replace it, I'll just go with a new Lexus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlickSpur Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 We got two members with +275k miles on OE blocks and turbos on this page. I'm only at 154k miles as of today .. Mine eats very little oil over 3k-4k miles intervals, and turbo doesn't make a peep just holds 16psi like a champ. Annual Blackstone reports looking great, and will have another done this May. My trans functions like new, but needs center diff transfer bearing R&R, is noticeably noisy in cabin and has been so for about 50k miles. I like the sound of that! 117k here. Original motor and turbo. Only modification is Eibach Pro Kits at about 30k on original struts. Still going strong! Rotella T6 and Pureolater PureOne PL41610 every 5k. Work on car has been maintenance or wear items. Just replaced clutch this past weekend. Timing belt, water pump, thermostat, spark plugs, all fluids, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErrlyBird Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Just rolled over 220,000 miles on the body today. Thats 75,000 on the replacement long block- the last 8,000 with Cobb 2+ SF tune. Car's been through three owners, previously unmolested (minus the replacement motor and gold Rotas). The only real problems so far have been the turbo & engine failure for the first owner and the uppipe going out on me at 212k. Constant regular maintenance throughout it's three owners along with many replacement parts along the way (blower motor, struts, control arms, bearings, etc.). As far as I know the only wrecks shes been in are two run ins I had with a couple curbs in my first couple months having her. Three rims and some suspension parts later, my lesson had been learned.
