I've had this car since new and it only has 81,000 miles on it. I've taken it in for scheduled maintenance and had the oil changed every 3,000 miles. I'm not happy that I seem to have a major problem.
After the light came on, I took the car to the same dealer where I purchased it and have had the ongoing maintenance.
The code seems to be a 107W? Diagnosed missfire in cylinder #1. coil, plugs, wires fuel delivery all okay. The dealer says it is a sticking valve.
The gave me two options: Continue to drive the car until there is a preformance issue and then replace the valve heads for $3000! (there has been no change in behavior to this point) OR
Trade the car in.....
Anyone else encountered this problem? How about fuel additives? Any other suggestions. I'm not very happy with my Subaru now. I have loved this car up until this point.
Help!
