Replying to: 2005outback (Apr 20, 2009 7:41 am) It was normally associated with 2 generations prior 2.5l engines. In '97 or 98 through 2002, it was a matter of time, apparently. Many were covered by the Subaru provided extended warranty through 100k miles. Others were offered goodwill cash to offset the cost of the repair. So far, including yours, I have heard of 2 head gasket failures with 2005+ motors. I don't know if that constitutes a massive upheaval at this point. My '05 only has 40k so far so I hope it holds up. Its had its first coolant change at 30k and everything looked fine at that point. I would definitely contact SOA and see what they can do for you. They seem to be very reasonable if you can provide maintenance records to show the car has been taken care of. Good luck with your repair. |

Replying to: lilengineerboy (Apr 20, 2009 6:00 pm) They may help, I wouldn't be surprised, but it's well past warranty and it would not be fair to someone who purchased a Subaru Gold warranty for them to fix it for free, especially given it's not common by any means. |

Hi. I have an 08 Legacy 2.5 i Special Edition with a seat creak issue (which I've seen mentioned sporadically on this forum). Whenever my body weight shifts in the seat (such as rounding corners) my seat creaks and sounds like an old mattress. I'm an average size person (6' 200lbs) and when I mentioned it to my dealer he just gives me the "never heard of that before" look. After a test drive he says that "he thinks he heard something". Because I've seen other mention of it here, I don't think this problem is specific to my Subaru, and may be a seat design issue. If it's worse in mine for some reason perhaps I can ask (demand) that the seat be replaced. I'm just not sure if that's going to do any good. Comments and suggestions would be appreciated!
