Hey did you guys find the problem I have a 2010 Diesel Forester, that stalls only when at idle and cold. If I rev the car to about 1100revs it won't stall. I Can drive it just cannot stop until the car is warm.

Subaru said elongated timing chain. They cannot source parts so im just swapping to a 2nd hand motor i had almost 300k kms though. Subaru said 3.2k to 4.3k for the timing chain to be replaced which is about the same as a motor put in.
