2012 Impreza 2.0L. 220,000km. Manual transmission. All scheduled maintenance up to date. This car works great!

[@connerway]

I have a 2015 Impreza from this generation. I’ve had multiple cars with failed wheel bearings but nothing has ever been as loud as this one. I thought both my rear bearings went out because the noise was so bad, but it was just one! They’re quite pricey to fix too but definitely worth it because the noise will drive you mad. Otherwise, I absolutely love this car!

2013 Impreza limited with 325,000 miles! Runs like a charm! No issues

Presente en las aventuras de mecánica automotriz gracias por el tiempo que dedican, cordial saludo desde Navojoa Sonora México 🎉

[@archeo289]

This engine can have headgasket issues, but unlike the previous gen’s engine, it’s not guaranteed to happen. A stuck PCV valve can cause the engine to overheat, which will trash a head gasket. Occasionally check the PCV valve, change oil regularly, and you’ll likely be fine.

[@mikerosolack2837]

Good job, sir your helpfully .

[@deanaoxo]

Yup, I got the bonus problem. Fixed.

[@josealvarado2548]

I have 2 of the problems mentioned the 02 leak and the head gasket leaking coolant into the engine. My question is how long could I run the car with the coolant leaking into the engine before it causes significant damages?

[@mahed82]

At what year and generation they started putting timing chains ⛓️ and got rid of the timing belt ?

[@danam0228]

Thanks. I've been lookong ay a 2014 for my son

[@v1ktor2]

The 2012 Subaru Impreza comes with an F series engine, which does not uses timing belt, instead it utilize a timing chain. This engine does suffers from oil leaks from the timing chain housing, but head gaskets issues are not very common.

[@andyfabel3732]

Spark plug tube seals and valve cover gaskets where my smoke problem its common 145k runs awesome

[@Bgkim1113]

Yes yes I smashed like botton

[@shawn576]

Thankfully I haven't had any of these problems. Quite a few videos mention oil consumption being an issue. The head gasket one just hasn't happened yet. All of the non turbo engines seem to get that problem eventually.

[@Abdelkader373]

[@pnowikow]

My wheel bearings are due. Don't forget cleaning throttle body for sluggish acceleration

[@r.seaboats6666]

Why is my steering loose, My power steering feels like it's working too good. I could spin it left or right without any force it will just take off spinning lol😮

[@1prince4life]

I have a 2016 Subaru Impreza and I have two of the faults discussed. I have oil consumption and wheel bearing problem.

[@jameshealy5567]

What mileage did these issues begin?

[@br4252]

2012 Impreza has no timing belt.

[@br4252]

It’s a chain

[@niccolomachiavelli8301]
