P0016 error code from hell solved… should I sell while I’m ahead? Considering a VB
After getting my repairs done on my 2017 Subaru WRX for the dreaded P0016 error code I am feeling exhausted of this car that I once loved.
This error code haunted me the last 6 months and a few grand later the Subie is driving great.
This community gave me the best guidance on fixing it and It’s running fine now but it took months of different trips to the shop to finally fix everything. Faulty sprocket was replaced. Fixed an a separate oil leak. Checked and my sensors were fine so it ended up being my ECU need to be replaced as well after the error code imbedded itself.
I’ve been on top of maintenance through its ownership. I replaced the clutch at around 55,000 miles after the first owner and don’t have any mods aside from a Kart Boy Short throw shifter (which I love and recommend)
Long story short, how reliable have your WRXs been 125,000+ and do you think I should sell it while the value is decent? This has been my favorite day driver, but I’m scared of something major failing (turbo, clutch x2, etc.)
