I went through this with Blu when he threw a rod on a road trip at 181,000 miles. I decided to fix Blu due to cost. A new car would need higher insurance, and then there are the monthly payments. Also I would have to pay sales tax, and you never recoup that. If the body is solid, and everything works (like on blu except for one seat heater), I would suggest fix. Also god forbid you loose your job and get behind on things, they can take your nice new car, where if you charge the repair, they cant take your wheels. nipper

the 99 and 2000 have some sort of internal issues. Before then they last the life of the car as long as you do regular fluid changes. This comes up from time to time, it may come up on a search. The AWD units can be serviced sepretly from the tranny itself. Blu has 226,000 miles on the original tranny. nipper

Intermittant Dash Electrical Issue?
nipper replied to Crabman's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
Of course, its just easier to run a new engine ground then to find a bad one. nipper -

Essentially its all off the same circuit, depending upon where you want to start looking. Check the battery cables, the engine grounds, and get the charging system load tested. I am guessing that it may be a bad ground someplace. nipper -
Check the drive belts, make sure nothing is loose there. It can be engine pping, a cv joint, aloose brake pad, or a wheel bearing. nipper

You just ruined several od my possible answers. Can it be engine ping? Does it change when you go left or right, or in reverse? Does it change with the clutcj depressed? nipper

Details on the car please. Can be a heat shield, if you have those kind of things, or a backing plate for a disc. nipper

Are you still using the AC and PS pump? Everything can handle it, but you may need some way to kick up the idle speed. The worst thing that will happen at idle (which is where you will be testing it to start) is some way to kick up the idle speed. The ECU may pick it up on its own, I dont know. YOu will need to get as much contact as possible on the drive pulley and the slave pully as possible. Will you be running these at the same time? nipper
