| my "piston slap" got worse recently. took my 03 outback, 2.5L in to dealer to be told the lower engine, probably piston rod, was blown. Dealer suggests short block or total engine replacement. 60,900 MILES, OUT OF WARRANTY. Can I get any warranty relief. Should i replace whole engine, or go shopping for new car? | |

Replying to: rthompson9310 (Feb 20, 2009 7:36 am) I realize the recommendation is to also get the water pump done- anything else?- which would add to the price but don't understand why the starting point is so different..." The $250 sounds like a dealer could only replace the belt, based on this: Ebay Buy It Now $200 Timing Belt Kit Contains the following: (1) Timing Belt (2) Timing Belt Idler Bearing Smooth (1) Timing Belt Idler Cogged (1) Hydraulic Timing Belt Tensioner Assembly While those are being replaced, the access makes it convenient to also replace the water pump, thermostat, respective gaskets, water pump by pass hose, coolant and conditioner. One person reported his dealer did the belt kit plus all that for $563. Some recommend also replacing the front crankshaft main seal and the cam seals during this time of good access.

Replying to: phil2000 (Feb 24, 2009 4:59 pm) Normally I would say plugs, then spark plug wires (if applicable), but I'd add the ignition coil since there is one for all 4 cylinders, and you have multiple misfires. They're about $80 so not that expensive if you have not already tried that.

97 Legacy GT. Sharon MA. A friend got an outrageous quote for cats, exhaust and head gaskets from a dealer. He's not mechnically savvy so I'm trying to find an alternative for him. He also needs a replacement 16x6.5 GT wheel if anyone has one. Thanks. |
