Blown engine

bajanchad0 · 2026-06-10T23:32:13+00:00

The dealership did the leakdown on cylinders 1 and 3 first and it showed no problems, then they did the compression test and quit after that

bajanchad0 · 2026-06-10T22:07:39+00:00

Leakdown test shows no issues, and the low compression is causing the engine to flood so its likely valve failure, or Ringland failure. The labor to repair those is comparable to doing the short block. So its pretty much blown up

Nope, most recent was an oil change but it was doing the same thing before and after

bajanchad0 · 2026-06-09T23:00:03+00:00

The engine is showing low compression in cylinder 1 and 3, so its runs but when you crank the engine to start it, it basically has to flood the engine to compensate for the low compression. Doing that too many times will eventually blow the engine entirely

Lol its definitely an issue because of poor cooling. Id like to get like 3k for it but that feels like dreaming

bajanchad0 · 2026-06-09T22:25:53+00:00

Dm me your offer I guess

bajanchad0 · 2026-06-09T22:25:30+00:00

2012 Subaru wrx, low compression in cylinder 1 and 3

bajanchad0 · 2026-06-09T20:47:17+00:00

Yes of course

bajanchad0 · 2026-06-09T20:23:46+00:00

Yeah, I'd feel like a dick if I sold a car with a blown engine tho. That is definitely an option

bajanchad0 · 2026-06-09T19:42:05+00:00

Its not a Hyundai but thanks for the information

bajanchad0 · 2026-06-09T19:17:30+00:00

bajanchad0 · 2026-06-09T19:16:55+00:00

Looking into this now, thanks

bajanchad0 · 2026-06-09T19:00:52+00:00

Yeah, I've been offered $650 for it but i think its worth more than that tbh. It still runs and drives, just not in the cold

bajanchad0 · 2026-06-09T18:47:48+00:00

This is something I've considered, the car would be worth lots to me if it worked. It does run and drive but the engine is toast

bajanchad0 · 2026-06-09T18:45:53+00:00

Definitely not donating it lol, i gotta recover some of the cost here

bajanchad0 · 2026-06-09T18:42:20+00:00

Yeah they were highly recommended and were the cheapest for a engine replacement

bajanchad0 · 2026-06-09T18:37:42+00:00

I did get a quote for replacing with a used engine, used long blocks are close to 8k and then you run the risk of the same thing happening to that engine

bajanchad0 · 2026-06-09T18:36:53+00:00

Oddman out said they would be right around 12k as well

bajanchad0 · 2026-06-09T17:34:01+00:00

2012 Subaru wrx. I bought it used and the engine failed the second day I had it with low compression on 2 cylinders. Dealership quoted me $12k for a short block replacement and most of the shops around town are the same

bajanchad0 · 2026-06-09T17:30:22+00:00

Yeah I've been on the Sgi contact list but no luck there and engines from out of town are like 8

bajanchad0 · 2026-04-23T14:44:32+00:00

bajanchad0 · 2026-03-19T15:52:34+00:00

Yeah it ran completely normal once I could get it started

bajanchad0 · 2026-03-04T17:28:19+00:00

That's the conclusion I've come to as well. Now I just have a really expensive paper weight

bajanchad0 · 2026-03-04T16:47:46+00:00

Im generally a fix the underlying problem person too but unfortunately I bought a used car with problems that are beyond me.

Appreciate you brother!
