Common Problems
Subaru XV Engine Problems - What It Costs to Fix & When Replacement Makes Sense
The Subaru XV's FB-series petrol engines are generally reliable but suffer from camshaft position sensor oil contamination on 2013-2015 models and oil consumption on higher-mileage units. The EE20 diesel (2012-2015) faces DPF and turbo issues. Every rebuilt engine supplied through EngineMarket includes upgraded internal components designed to address the...
Subaru XV Camshaft Position Sensor Oil Contamination - Why FB-Series Engines Fail
Subaru XV Camshaft Position Sensor Oil Contamination
Most affected vehicles
Subaru XV 1.6i2.0i
Subaru XV 1.6i, 2.0i, 2.0i SE, 2.0i XE, 2.0i XC (2013-2015, FB16 & FB20)
Failure mileage range
40,000-80,000 miles
Typical failure window
Root cause
Oil from the crankcase breather contaminates the camshaft position sensor electrical connector, causing intermittent signal loss, rough running, and reduced power.
Repair options & estimated costs (UK ranges)
| Repair tier | Dealer price | Specialist price | What it involves | Longevity / suitability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minor - Sensor Cleaning/Replacement - Early stage fix | £350 - £650 | £225 - £425 | Clean sensor connector, replace sensor if damaged, update ECU software | Temporary fix if oil contamination source not addressed; may recur |
| Intermediate - Breather System Repair - Address root cause | £650 - £1,250 | £425 - £850 | Replace PCV valve, clean breather hoses, sensor replacement, ECU update | Addresses contamination source; prevents recurrence if done early |
| Full Replacement - Rebuilt FB16/FB20 Engine - Catastrophic failure | £1,850 - £3,450 | £1,295 - £2,450 | Supply & fit rebuilt engine with upgraded breather system, 12-month warranty | Permanent solution; includes preventative upgrades to prevent repeat |
Our recommendation
If caught early (rough running, check engine light), sensor cleaning and breather repair can save costs. However, if oil contamination has caused internal damage or the vehicle has high mileage, a rebuilt FB-series engine with upgraded breather components offers better long-term value and peace of mind.
