    Is it worth replacing the engine on a '09 Subaru Liberty?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 12 October 2017

    In going order it’s worth $7000-$9000 depending on condition, so you have to consider if it’s worth spending $5000 on it to get it back on the road. It’s eight years old, has done 180,000 km, it’s probably best to sell it to a wrecker if you can get $2000 for it.

    Ask Smithy Xtra squeaky Subaru Liberty Sport

    The only thing you can do is put pressure on the dealer and Subaru to sort the problem out. Perhaps other owners can let us know if they have the same issue with their cars, and what they were told by their dealers.

    Under control
    Answered by Graham Smith · 19 February 2009

    THE old practice was to avoid maintaining the engine at a constant speed during the run-in period, but it's not needed with modern engines. We asked Subaru for an opinion and they agreed the advice you received was misguided. You can use cruise control without damaging your engine.
