| Description of the problem | 2005 subaru legacy vin# (last 8)54327514. Car is under warranty but subaru is refusing to fix the turbo. Subaru has a bulletin # 02-103-07 out about the problem with turbo's oil starvation due to factory oil feed banjo bolt. I also used amsoil oil and they indicated that voids the warranty. The law pass by congress "magnuson-moss act" said that subaru can't void the warranty. |
