Default City Subaru

Hey guys,

i just want to warn you all about city subaru !!!

ok i have a MY99 STi....and about a month ago i was driving home from my friends house and i noticed a white smoke coming from under the bonnet....so i took it down to city subaru the next day......after 3-4 days of it being there they ring me up n say that the whole engine will need replacing...as its spraying oil from the head all over the engine and you dont want to just replace the head incase the bottom end is stuffed also.....so i thort about it for a while....talked to a few people....and it just didnt seem right to me that my engine could go from just normal driving when the oil and coolents were all full.....anyways i just said to they guys down at city subaru that i really couldnt afford 9k for a rebuild or a new engine....so i got the car back on a towtruck and got the car back to my place....a few days passed and i took it down to a work shop in welshpool to be looked at.....within 20mins the guy that was looking at my car had found the problem to be a slight split in the oil line going to the turbo.....so he said ok we will replace this and see how it goes....and within 40mins the car was up and running perfectly fine....no bad engine noises or anything.....

so guys beware of city subaru !!!
