Please help! Need advice.
Hello all!
I just picked up my SVX from Regal Subaru. They inspected my baby from head to toe. They have emailed me a list of things they have found wrong with her and I need your advice on how to handle what needs to be done. I have attached the PDF of the report, but I shall try to extract some of the info to put here: VEHICLE INSPECTION: battery test - passed but recommend recharge knock in front end also metallic noise on lhf during turns transmission slightly clunky on gearshifts very slight freeplay in steering noted Comments FRONT SWAY BAR LINKS & SWAY BAR 'D' BUSHES WORN OUT AND OIL AFFECTED RECOMMEND REPLACING TO REPAIR KNOCK rear struts leaking excessively - recommend replacing REAR SWAYBAR 'D' BUSHES WORN lhf uter cv boot split inspected joint and confirmed excessively worn recommend replacment driveshaft to repair - most likely concern of metallic noise on turns FRONT BRAKE PADS VERY GOOD REAR BRAKE PADS WORN OUT RECOMMEND REPLACING FRONT ROTORS 26.3MM MINIMUM THICKNESS 26MM - UNABLE TO MACHINE oil leak - both tappet covers,both breather boxes on top of tappet covers possible camseals and /or oil pump / front crank leaks from behind timing covers possible rear main/sump leak TIGHTENED OIL COOLER LINE FOR AUTO TRANSMISSION bottom radiator hose weeping INSPECTED FREEPLAY IN STEERING RACK - NO MOVEMENT TESTED AT STEERING WHEEL - FEELS LIKE STEERING COLUMN LACKING LUBRICATION a/c belt starting to crack on ribs -...................... RESET ENGINE & TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULES - MAY HELP DRIVEABILITY WITH TRANSMISSION SHIFTING - AUTO OIL CHANGE WILL ALSO HELP RECOMMEND BRAKE FLUID CHANGE, COOLANT CHANGE HAS MAJOR SERVICE BEEN CARRIED OUT ?? VEHICLE IS FITTED WITH A TIMING BELT - MAY BE DUE FOR REPLACEMENT AIR CONDITIONING NOT EFFICIENT - RECOMMEND LEAK TEST AND REPAIR DEGREASED ENGINE BAY AND UNDER VEHICLE TOPPED UP FUEL TO ROAD TEST UNABLE TO MEASURE RUN OUT ON REAR BRAKE ROTORS,FRT NOT ABLE TO BE MACHINED, SUSPECT REAR ROTORS AT MINIMUM THICKNESS OK. So what should I do first? I am not presently made of money, so I need to get the work done in stages. I thank you kindly in advance for any advice!! Mike

i think you will find a lot of the parts (like 97% ) you will have to source from the US and if you get them sent all in one package you will actually save probably near 1/3rd of the cost of getting them from subaru aust im sure there will be a few members there willing to help you find them and as for the brushes, theres a polish company that makes some just search for "polish brushes" that should find the thread on them |
