Great video. This is the only one where ive seen someone go in-depth with finding all the banjo bolts. I'm having the p0011 code and couldnt find the problem untill now. Thank you!
Just FYI for you, if the top of your banjo bolt is flat Subaru already fixed the problem or someone else already did if it has a nipple in the center of the bolt sticking up it means it's factory manual bolt and it has a filter just so you know. Hope I can help you or somebody else
Upgrades !?!?!? You better be worried about all the shrapnel from your turbo getting inhaled by your engine bud....and getting into your oil pump system & could potentially spin a main bearing and/or a rod bearing, cams, etc & having a catastrophic effect on your engine ! You should at least clean the entire intake out & drop your oil-pan & clean it out & flush your oil-cooler out too ! And run a couple oil-changes through it, including filters ! Same thing happened to an 07 XT I purchased and I had to swap a new EJ25 engine into it, as well as a new Turbo & many, many new intake related parts ! HUGE COST ! I'm almost done w/the engine swap now. Let me know how your engine fared ! Good luck !
Thanks for putting this video together! About to do this on my 09 Outback XT with the same banjo bolt location under the turbo inlet, but I would rather not go through removing the intake manifold and inlet. At 10:22, seems like it would be possible to reach that banjo bolt by just removing the turbo?
its worth a shot, the turbo inlet tube may hinder your adventures. I had toe replace that as well, so I didn't have much choice but to take it all apart. also worked out as the previous owner used the wrong gaskets and left a plethora of loose bolts all over the top half. good luck on your project.
That was the one that kept blowing turbos. The most important one to find. The other is behind the timing belt an the ac compressor side. It's less important to remove that one unless you have the belt off already or have the avcs code that does not clear after removing the turbo side filter.
@@danielsgarage3545 Thank you! Stupidly I didn't remove the one near the compressor inlet when I changed the turbo a while back, more stupidly I didn't check the one behind the rear timing cover when I changed the belt.... sigh. I did check the ones directly on the AVCS solenoids but didn't find any screens in mine but have since seen the screens can get stuck and remain INSIDE so I think I need to re-check and go over the whole lot with a turbo swap happening soon. Thank you!
I have these same codes 0011,0021 on a 13 wrx new oem solenoids, cam gears killer b pickup, all new timing components removed filters blew out lines and these codes will not go away so ridiculous these engines
As far as I can find. Subaru stopped using them in 2011. However this is coming from forums I browsed through and could not find any hard evidence one way or the other. Unfortunately I don't have access to one to find out. It would be some work but it could be worth it to check before trying to replace the AVCS solenoid. Another option would be to clear the codes switch the solenoids around. Driver to passenger and see if the code follows then you know it's the solenoid and not a blockage.
@@danielsgarage3545 Appreciate it. Them two lines are gnarly to remove just to get the AVCS solenoid out... I tried cracking the banjo on top of the housing for the solenoid but the line attached wanted to spin with the bolt so I didn't pry on it. My car been through autocross and many ditches so the old girl is starting to show her disapproval for my driving. 😂
mine only had the 1 in the turbo oil line. some of the older ones had 3 or more. someone else had commented that the filters are located in banjo bolts with the nipple on top.
Banjo bolts with filters have a little nipple on the top of it. Not flat.
Thanks for the tip.

I was in the same boat. Found a ton on the 05 and 06 but nothing 07+. Glad it helped you out.
@@danielsgarage3545 Same.

Good to know. I learned something new today. Thank you.

Great informative video thank you for putting it together. Could you tell me how many miles are on this car?

Daniel super video. Did you check the EGR valve while you had it apart?....she's a bugger to get to....Thanks!
Thank you. I did not. Of all the issues I fixed I didn't have to mess with the egr.

Been there, got the engine too.
Just the 1x banjo bolt had the screen filter in the end? The one located near the front of the turbo compressor inlet?

Is that a VF-40 or 46? I have a 2008, I think mine is a 46.
@@GregoryBaker i had to double check it was a few years ago. But i put a 46 in it.

Agreed. I friend of mine had the same issue on his 18 sti. It ended up being a wire issue to 1 of solenoids.
Is this also the case for a 2014 WRX 2.5ltr??! I have the same code..

I have a 2012 wrx this is happening to me rn
@@guillermomeji8613 most likely not. The filters should be all gone after 2009. I would start with the cam sensors and the avcs solenoids.
How many of the bolts have filters?
mine only had the 1 in the turbo oil line. some of the older ones had 3 or more. someone else had commented that the filters are located in banjo bolts with the nipple on top.
