1. Engine

🔧 Increased oil consumption (relevant for EJ20, EJ255, EJ257)

Turbocharged WRX and WRX STI engines (EJ255, EJ257) are prone to oil burnout.

Cause: design features of piston rings.

Solution: check oil level, replace piston rings if necessary.

🔧 Timing belt problems (relevant for EJ20, EJ255, EJ257)

The timing belt requires replacement every 90,000–100,000 km.

If it breaks, the valves may be bent.

Solution: timely replacement of the timing belt and rollers.

🔧 Engine overheating (especially for EJ255, EJ257)

Reason: coolant leak due to weak cylinder head gaskets.

Solution: replace cylinder head gaskets with reinforced versions.

🔧 Chain tensioner rattle (relevant for FB16, FB20)

A weak hydraulic timing chain tensioner can cause noise when starting.

Solution: replace the tensioner.

2. Transmission

🔧 Weak clutch (WRX, WRX STI)

With aggressive driving, the clutch wears out quickly.

Solution: install a reinforced clutch kit.

🔧 Automatic transmission problems (4AT)

Long-lasting, but sometimes jerks when shifting.

Solution: change ATF oil, adapt the box.

3. Suspension

🔧 Knocking front struts

Over time, the original shock absorbers (especially Kayaba) begin to knock.

Solution: replace with high-quality analogs (KYB Excel-G, Bilstein).

🔧 Worn out silent blocks of front levers

Leads to poor handling and knocking.

Solution: replace silent blocks with polyurethane or reinforced rubber ones.

4. Body and Electrics

🔧 Body corrosion (especially thresholds and arches)

The problem is typical for northern regions.

Solution: anti-corrosion treatment.

🔧 Failure of oxygen sensors (lambda probe)

Often found on EJ20, EJ255, EJ257 engines.

Solution: replace sensors.

🔧 Burnt out bulbs in headlights and dashboard

Reason: weak wiring.

Solution: replace bulbs and check ground.
