Just to follow up on this thread, i've had the EGR valve blanked off since February and the engine has not made a single shudder in that time. It's %100 EGR system *related*. Right after blanking the unit, the engine still shuddered in an identical fashion. But, with after an ECU reset, the problem...

No shudder for several years, nor have heard of anyone else having it in the past few years either. I'd give a qualified 'solved' to this, at a guess from some software update. Aim to pick up a newer one, say 2011/2 +, (whichever had the engine update). There seem to have been less issues with the ...

So a couple of years down the track now, are diesel owners still having shuddering issues? I am keen to pick up one of these second hand usually with around 150k on them. While I am happy enough to work with DPF and oil dilution issues, was there ever a solution/diagnosis to shuddering (yes I read t...

Pictures added. Height from deck to bottom of skirt is 73mm (measured with crappy plastic calipers).

THE PISTONS - how are they almost new? oversize? Can we see a photo please and interested in a side view of the pin hole and the actual high of piston from deck to bottom of skirt. thx They had been used very little when I got them and I never ended up using them. They are standard size. Will get s...

hi thanks ill take them and how much for the vf2 or vf4 turbo Its a VF2. If you get the spats you can have the turbo for the cost of postage. While it was fine when it was last used it has now been sitting for years and I am not sure how it will perform. I am fairly sure it will be fine, but don't ...

Pics of rear spats added

how much are you asking for the spats. are they a complete set

Yes, they should be a complete set. I'll dig them out and take a photo for you.
Not sure on price, the last set on here sold for $50 by the looks of it.

Hi All, I was clearing out the shed and found that I still had some parts from the RX Turbo. PM me if you are interested in any of them. - RX Turbo intake pipe. - Little used EA82T pistons. http://ausubaru.com.au/picture.php?albumid=269&pictureid=2452 http://ausubaru.com.au/picture.php?albumid=269&p...

I have a l-series rear bumper to give away, in good condition with no dents etc.

I used to install the earlier type cruise controls and they all used vacuum to run a throttle hold/pull/release cable . I recall asking how the turbo ran cruise under boost and reply was electric vacuum pump on Libs. ahh, that makes a bit of sense now. At least there is some reason (Cost) for them ...

I have been looking around at a few forester GT's and none seem to have cruise control. Is this real? they did not come with cruise I swear the N/A version did.

Anyone done this or similar before?

I have read some threads on here about the Liberty master cylinder/brake booster assembly being a direct bolt in for the MY models. I presume this is the same case for the L-series? I am looking at replacing the setup in a RX Turbo. Without a ej conversion, will the braking be similar, the same, bet...

I found 99% of the time that the O2 sensor on the EA82T has just broken the wire off.. still have to replace if it is but you should be able to spot that from the top. Also is there any work or changes been done to the car recently? like boost controller.. etc.. Not a boost controller but a timer a...

Feeding it alpine rated petrol ? There s alpine Diesel, same for petrol, dunno? O2 sensor? Could be the O2 sensor as that would muck up the fuel mixture, would hope it is not though as I only replaced the O2 sensor about a year ago. Have you still got that spare AFM that I could test with? See if m...

I have not checked the compression in awhile, but the last time I did it was all good. Its not using any coolant either.

I just use 98oct fuel in it.
