He does have collision, but for reasons of his own has no interest in going through insurance. There are probably already a couple strikes against him and his rates would sky rocket if he claimed this....

Friend of mine hit a high curb/ pole with his 2018 Subaru Impreza. Ripped out the driver's side wheel, took out the fender, headlight, wheel and bumper skin, airbags did not deploy. Engine runs fine. 50k miles on it. Owner wants to sell it as is instead of repair, how much should he ask for...

Years ago I bought a base Peugeot 505 for parts for $100. Drove it home and thought it was too good to part out ( I was wrong in hind sight) but loved french cars so got it road worthy. The trunk had leaked for years probably, so needed a bunch of welding to get right. Of course the water leak...

No rust, unclear whether the unibody is tweaked. Current owner is convinced the car is cursed (2 prior accidents, 2 break in's) and I think he just wants it gone....o_O

I somehow forgot about Rockauto, pretty much everything to rebuild this car is there. But it seems like the owner of said Subaru might be done with it: he's already looking around for another car. At the end of the day it's up to him what happens to the Impreza, but may just end up...

A friend of mine had a very unfortunate incident where he took a right turn too fast, hit some sand and slid into a curb and hit a pole with his 2018 Subaru Impresa 5 speed wagon. Air bags did not deploy. Took out the fender, headlight, but that's no big deal. The big deal is that the impact...

Maybe try running that fancy new Valvoline Clean and Protect oil?

My Saturn has way more SAAB parts than anything, namely the motor and 5 Spd manual trans (trans kinda sux btw) I'm sure there are a few other sensors Made in Japan though, probably why it runs so well.... 😁

2006 Saturn Ion Redline. Not sure who made the MAF sensor, but I do know it has 'JAPAN' stamped on it. I thought I heard that Hitachi made the sensor, can't say for sure though!

Now I can finally put this one to bed! I took a chance and bought a made in Japan oem maf sensor from the dealer, and to my surprise they even let me haggle with them! $220 taxes in down from $247 before tax. Plugged it in and bam, runs perfect. No more hick ups or bucking at low speeds. I...

Yes, getting a real time engine diagnostic is on my list for sure, will post the results/

So I'm not done yet: With the old OEM MAF sensor that got wet, the car is better to drive, but then the car won't go into DFCO and throws a PO172 code. With the aftermarket MAF it's harder to drive smoothly at low speeds but no codes and DFCO works as it should. Looks like I'm off to the...

Good point. I was just thinking about the sticker on the bag the sensor came in that read 'no refunds once seal is broken', but since the part did not work as advertised, (I mean it did make the car run 85% ok, but still) I might be able to make a case for getting my monies back.

So it turned out you were right: my car did not like the new aftermarket MAF sensor. I reinstalled the original MAF after giving it a good cleaning and it runs great again at all speeds! Too bad the $120 MAF sensor I bought is of course non refundable :cautious:

Yep, new air filter (y). Upon closer inspection the once water soaked air filter element was all distorted and wavey.

Yeah I had that thought! I'll see if things clear up in the next week or so, and I also still have the original MAF to plug back in as well.

Yes for sure. It is up and running now, but it is a bit jerky at parking lot speeds, not sure what is going on there.....time will tell! The compression was good at 205 even on every pot, changed the MAF, installed new plugs and changed on the oil. No codes since.

Yes, that's what I did in the end. Not because any water got into the crankcase, but more because it ran super rich for a while the ECU tried to figure out what the heck was going on (PO172) and the oil smelt very gassy once it was up and running.

Oh I am worried about the whole darn thing, but am pretty sure the motor is fine. It would restart, idle then just die, so I doubt that the motor took in any water, I shut it down once it started to shudder, probably from the wet MAF sensor.

I got caught in a massive down pour, drove through some standing water at a walking speed that was maybe a foot deep, and the motor stalled..... The Napa Gold air filter ( I'm assuming it's paper) got totally soaked, as did the MAF, so of course the car won't turn on anymore. Can I just dry...
