Old Gen Diesel?

Featured Replies

Hey ya'll I've been doing some research and all I can come up with is that Subaru made the Boxer diesel in 2008. maybe this is the wrong forum for this, but I'm curious if there is anything earlier than 2008.....

Damn! would be awesome if we had some earlier model diesel engines. 

Subaru has never sold a diesel in the US.

 

 

The EE20 has been available in Europe since 2008. More than a few have been imported and swapped into various things, Boxeer has done many, including running pikes peak in a GC Impreza with one a few years ago, and driving to the southern tip of South America and back to Tennessee in an EE20 Vanagon Westfalia Synchro. 

You don't want the Subaru diesel anyway. It's crap compared with the similar capacity diesel offerings from other manufacturers.

They only did it to get the euro sales (mostly, hence there was not auto gearbox option for a few years) and a few other places like here.

I've heard mixed reviews. There are those that love them, and those that hate them....

 

 

Either way, we really don't have anything here. VW is pretty much the only manufacturer that brought small turbo diesels to the US, and now most of those are being recalled...
