I should go back to check the engine tomorrow morning, i'll take a picture or two of it. I'll try to fix the garage door this weekend, luckily we'll manage this time or i break it zzz Thank you very much for the help, it would be a shame to break the engine because i didnt know what to fix :-\ It scares me a little, i want that car for so long now.

Thanks for the welcome I dont have pictures of my old ones, they are gone with my old hard drive I have to get the XT out of the owners garage, it's broken for years, we didnt manage to open it yet. The car is in there for 5 years now, he didnt even start it, it's an old guy that cant drive anymore. What i saw under the plastic cover over the car : it's a turbo for sure, it's white, i didnt see rust, even the inside is perfect, it's an automatic. He said it's 140cv but he couldnt really remember details about it. We didnt manage to open the hood because of this platic cover, i hope i can open that garage next time i go there, i need to check the engine properly because it's really expensive but unique in this condition in France. Why has the turbo such a bad reputation and what are the timing belts ? It's hard to find info in France, even the specialist of old cars i had on the phone at Subaru France dont know that car I think you can count on 1 hand the number of XT over here.

Hello everyone I had two 80's subaru in my life and, believe me, they are hard to find in France. I had a Leone 1800 4WD and a Brat. Today i can buy a XT from 1985 with 90000kms. The problem is that I dont know a lot about mecanic, if someone could give me tips on what to check before buying it. Thank you very much for greeting me on the forum
