I have a 1995 Subaru Impreza 2.2L Wagon with
143,000 miles on it. The car only left me stranded one time when the starter
died last month. One of my Subaru friends said I should replace the fuel pump,
because that will be the next part that will fail. I don’t want to be stranded
on some road somewhere, so should I be proactive and replace the pump? When I
looked online, some Auto
mechanic suggest
replacing the pump after 100,000. What brand pump should I purchase? I checked
with the Subaru dealer, and they want $314 for the whole pump assembly.

I dont know fo alot of fuel pump issues mine seems fine at 301,396 mile and i have had this 95 legacy ej22 since 223k miles bought from a friends parents 1 owner. Mostly cam seal leaks and overheating due to bad heater hose from water pump and aftermarket thermostats.

This is my first Subaru, and I know they’re

reliable cars, but I thought I would check with the diehard Subaru owners

before I replace the pump. After reading your post, I think I’ll put off

replacing the pump. Hopefully, it will last another 140,000 plus miles. If the

pump fails, I hope it’s in my driveway. LOL

if you're always near 'home base' and/or can easily call for help, don't worry about.

 

but fuel pump, alternator and maybe starter are some of the main things that might strand you. For some folks, it might be a good idea to get ahead of the problem.

 

just be sure to research what you get as replacement - some folks have had bad luck with aftermarket parts or cheap rebuilt alternators, etc.
