Just purchased Subaru liberty gt My05. need some advice.

Postby Tommyt1 » Sat Sep 09, 2017 12:34 am

Any help would be appreciated. Small issue under load sometimes, starts to splutter and run a lil ruff and at idle stalls sometimes. Fuel pump breakdown? Turbo issue? Air leak maybe. It has 270k kms on it cars in pretty good condition. Services etc.. anyone had the same problem? Thanks guys.

Thanks guys. Will Look into the problem. This also happens when I drive the car around for abit. Under heat maybe no cooling issues either. I did see intake pipe had what looked like a hard bubble right before it connects onto the turbo. Maybe it's a leak will have look at other possibilities also.

Next check for burnt pins pump top assy loom plug.
The throttle body hose & tmic are also possible issues.
Log n LV inc 4x avcs vvt angles & per cyl misfires.
Light pressure & vac test inlet tract & zorst.

Probably replace it as oil pools inside rotting the rubber :bomb:
Replace with silicone preferably and get it tuned...

Is it difficult to remove old one and put new one on yourself? Does the mani have to come off? Thanks

It's a bit of a challenge, but possible to do in a few hours with experience, with the inlet mani on.
Kobe, psr, avo, perrin or even stock replacement.
The first 3 will require a minor change to the return to inlet piping.
It's a good time to consider a tune or at least lv the car if upgrading to silicone.
Given the expense you'd want to pressure test the inlet to confirm all leaks.
Are you in melbourne?

Oh ok fair enough what size hose do I get? I'll try get someone to do it do you mean log the car at least?. Subaru tested it and said there's a leak intake on computer, they should be able to fit it right?I'm round tweed man. Also want to do a service on it wondering if the spark plugs are underneath and can I get to them if I need? Thanks

Stock size for the stock turbo. Plugs are a bit of a challenge but not impossible if you're patient and have the right sockets and extensions :)

ATM I just need to get this intake pipe sorted cause it's running like a dog. Then I'll get the rest.
