Just tipped passed 193k miles on the forester, with the original tf035 as far as I know. Have heard horror stories of these dying and sending itself flying into the engine. Opinion from one or two mechanics is why change if its going fine.
What would you think, leave well enough alone or change it now? Conscious that miles are very high so don't want to do too much messing about, have heard the td04 is a straight swap, even without remap, and they seem to be fairly readily available. Obviously a remap would be better and would do that at some stage later on but for now thinking more about prolonging it's life rather than performance. Anyway appreciate any opinons.
