(1)I am almost closing a deal in buying 2005 Legacy GT. So, about
extended warranty, aside from following maintenance schedule,
(a)what should I be aware of so that the extended warranty wouldn't get
revoked?
(b)Also, what should I be aware of so that manufactures warranty
wouldn't get revoked, if that can happen?
(c)Can doing oil change at a place other than dealer rise to revoking
manuafacturer's warranty or extended warranty revoked?
(2)A thread I saw today about head gasket reminded me of the thread I
saw a while back about head gasket in Subaru. Though not specifically
about the turbo, I read up on how the car engine works at "How Stuff
works site". (I have seen the parts of an engine last fall when I
joined an automechanic class though i didn't stick around till th end
due to time constraint); I plan to educate myself on how everything
works in my new car. What symptoms should I keep in mind to detect
head gasket problem? |

Oh boy.

Just follow the maintenance schedule and document it wherever or
however it happens.
Does anyone have a case where warranty claims were denied during the
warranty period? If so, what grounds did they give.

Smoke billowing out of the car as antifreeze spills out onto the hot
engine block is a good sign of a head gasket failure, as is magical
disappearance of coolant.

It's not the price but I want one w/o spoiler (I'll still pay the same
price) but it seems like I have to live with the spoiler. >> Stay informed about: head gasket; warranty |

FYI, when I had Honda Civic, initially, there was a worry that head
gasket was a problem because of the sensor light on. At the time, I
didn't even know what "head gastket". It just so happened that a
classmate has a brother-in-law with auto repair shop and they did the
testing and found out that due to the heat from the engine, the sensor
light bulb (or somehhting like that got burned). Luckily, I wasn't
ripped off during that event unlike some other event. >> Stay informed about: head gasket; warranty |

You may be able to trade trunks with someone that has a model without
the spoiler. Aske here and at www.usmb.net and at www.nasioc.com in the
appropriate forums.
I see folks trading stuff like that frequently on those forums.
have fun with your new car!

The 2.5 turbo motors have a semi-closed deck block. I have a feeling that the gaskets won't be an
problem on those the same way they're not a problem on the semi-closed deck 2.0 WRX. -Danny >> Stay informed about: head gasket; warranty |

As you know, our '98 is being repaired at the moment. From messages
here, you shouldn't have a problem with the '05 engine.
However, for others here, I distinctly recall gurgling noises from
the engine every time I parked it. This for at least a couple of
years before gasket failure. Having read about this, I think that
the noises are an indication that there's air in the coolant,
which is the primary cause of gasket failure. If your car gurgles
when you park it, it either hasn't been bled correctly and will
fail soon, or you already have early gasket failure.
