My buddy has an earlier outback that came with that system. She’s got a lot of miles and honestly it’s totally fine. The one thing is that it does tend to start HARD. It cranks that sucker over like it owes it money
I agree with the other fellow, your OEM starter is goin to be much more robust than what you buy.
If it's OE it is Denso and worth keeping compared to the parts stores garbage.
204k on my 2019! Just replaced the starter in the parking lot yesterday !!
For me it was the starter. It was replaced a few years prior at a local mechanic and I don't know what brand they used. I got the part numbers and bought a Bosch equivalent from fcp for less than 300.\n\nI dont know exactly why and neither do the mechanics that wanted an answer if I found one. The old starter spun fast enough to start injection. Maybe just not enough power to get it past the initial revolution after firing. All I know is its been close to year and hasn't done it once since I replaced the starter. It now starts first time everytime.
Mine made that noise a few years ago; ripped it apart and re-greased it, and the sound went away until this summer, and I gave in and bought a new Bosch unit.
If it doesn’t CRANK at all, like you turn the key and there is NO sound… the starter could be cooked.
Unfortunately a cheap starter with cheap plastic
That cheap flimsy thing?
It’s junk the day it was made
