| Description of the problem | The turbocharger simply went at about 132000 miles. From what i read online regarding the failed legacy turbo,the turbo could have been saved if the union ( banjo) bolt with filter was changed. Subaru does not notify the consumer regarding this potential problem; that is irresponsible. It cost me $2300 to replace the turbo... I made sure that the union bolt was replaced as well. |
