I took the car to the dealership and they said it needs a new starter. It’s being covered under warranty.
I installed the starter, which was apparently the upgrade and Bosch has since reverted back to the "old style" with the support dowel. Everything starting-wise is working great
Stick with Bosch if possible, get the autostick (SR17X) starter and eliminate bushing issues.
I am now getting a Bosch from Rockauto for 25% less than the AC Delco starter from Amazon. Bosch sold me with 24 month roadside towing if the starter leaves me stranded during that time.
I actually replaced the starter less than a year ago with a brand new (not a remanufactured) Bosch; hopefully its not the starter.
Bosch is also not a bad name starter to buy from something like rockauto.
I knew it had to be the starter. I had read somewhere that Subaru starters are hard to get, and my year in particular is faulty. So today, I took it to my dealer, and they said that the starter had to be replaced. On my bill, it said that the starter was taking excessive amperage. On a video on the Tube, that version of the starter has a faulty gear which causes trouble starting the engine.
As preventive maintenance I replaced my starter with a new remanufactured starter by Bosch, part number SR0822X. Wouldn't start after I moved it from the wash bay to vacuum the inside. I heard a click and that was it. The starter didn't try to turn the engine at all.
People are really trying to hype this feature up, but i\u2019ve replaced at least 10 starters this year on vehicles with auto stop/start.
Again this is a brand new starter actually it's a rebuilt starter which is Bosch OEM. When I did remove the old starter and put in this new rebuilt Bosch OEM starter the car started right up. The next day I went out to start it and all I got was one loud "CLICK"!
