Hard start, rough idle, drove 3 miles, check engine light turns on, code: p0021 bank1/2. Did research. It's a banjo bolt filter/screen mine was cracked in half inside the oil line restricting oil to the turbo. Managed to remove one easily accessible banjo screen which fixed half the problem. The other bolt virtually not accessible by me. Almost all turbo vehicles from subaru experience this problem as code: p0021 or just catastrophic turbo/engine/coolant failure.

Takata recall I purchased this car six months ago from a small dealeership in vacaville, ca. I paid half the price for the car in cash the day I bought it after they assured me that it cleared the state inspection. Not even 4000 miles after I purchased this vehicle the motor is blown and there is the takata recall from 2016 that has not been handled. I just purchased the car in 09/2017.

I was driving along in my subaru impreza wrx sti at approx. 45 MPH when my car had the oil light, check engine light, and cruise control light (flashing) come on. When I towed the car to the dealer to be inspected they found the oil pickup tube was broken in two pieces near the oil pump starving the engine/turbo of oil, causing catastrophic engine failure. The vehicle will need an entire new engine (long block) and likely a new turbo. After doing some research I have found this to be a very frequent issue and hopefully will be addressed asap. From my understanding, subaru is still having these failures in the newer model cars also.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 subaru impreza. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 MPH, the vehicle stalled with the illumination of the engine and brake warning lights. The vehicle was able to be restarted; however, the contact had the vehicle towed to the dealer. The dealer diagnosed that the ignition coil needed to be replaced. The ignition coil was replaced twice because the failure recurred after the first replacement. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

Code p1410 secondary air injection system switching valve stuck open. This is a common error many 2006 and up subaru impreza wrx owners are having. The emissions system is prone to fail due to carbon buildup or moisture and rust contaminating valves, leading to repairs costing $700 to $1500. This failure is common even with low mileage. Note these codes are also associated with this failure: 06/07 wrx: p0410 p0411 p0413 p0414 p0416 p0417 p0418 p2431 p2432 p2433 p2440 p2441 p2442 p2443 p2444 07 sti: p0410 p0411 p0413 p0414 p0418 p2431 p2432 p2433 p2441 p2444.

2006 subaru sti driving home 20 MPH oil light flickered then stayed on for 20 seconds engine starved of oil, shut down. Had engine removed to find oil pick up tube the weld had failed causing no oil to motor, now motor is junk. Now I find out this is a common problem. Subaru of america has made a up dated tube,my question is why? A problem. I have had my car for 3 months now its 6,000 dollar repair, for a poor weld job on a 20 dollar part. The sales on these tubes are not going to reflect on how many have failed because who can afford 6,000 dollars every time it fails. So after market pick up tubes are be purchased that are made to last. I have all old parts and photos of all old parts. I see tons of people have the same problem subaru is making a killing, selling engines. We need some help here please its time. I paid 20,000 for this car used car lot now I need to find 6,000 more dollars this is not easy for a 21 year old man. Please help. I just scrolled back you asked for components name its not listed so I went with engine.
