Which is worse??
Which is worse (more expensive) to fix:
A SVX with a speedometer drive gear inside the transmission not working (check engine light is always on as a result), power steering leak, lifter on driver's side noisy and A/C not functioning or... A SVX with a cracked radiator that needs to be replaced and the vehicle occasionally stalls at idle (could be a dying fuel pump). Any input would be most appreciative... |

i would go with number 1 being worse. Radiator can be bought for like 2 or 3 hundred.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Just wanted to make sure though. I'm deciding between 2 SVX's I found for sale. Guess I'll go with the second one then since the repairs are less. Thanks...
If anyone else has input, it would be appreciated. Anyone have a cost estimate on how much repairs like this would cost?? |

I kinda disagree with the fuel pump synopsis. Required fuel pressure is lower at idle. The problem is something else. No if it won't idle and has a drivability problem then it could be the fuel pump. Most idle problems are from air seepage, throttle body, or offset idle speed.

I do service work on Subaru's at my shop here in NJ. Find out what kind of work was done and what it needs and I'll give you a price. You might just need a 60/120 service to get the car right. You can search my references on here, just use my user name. Good Luck with your car search. SVXPERT |
