Hi Lads,

 

New to the forum and I am just looking for some information or advice regarding the Legacy Diesel. I recently bought a 2008 model (2.0TD) with 61000 miles on the clock with full Subaru service history and since I bought it I have read a lot of horror stories on the web regarding crankshaft failures for the particular model/year that I have just purchased....

 

Will mine end the same way or are the stories just exaggerated.. any help would be great.

 

Thanks

Welcome aboard, CB--you're a very lucky man:  1) You found the USMB, 2) You own a Subaru Diesel, and 3) You live in Ireland!

 

The USMB is a fantastic source for "all things Subaru."  Unfortunately we don't know a heck of a lot about the diesel models, other than the anecdotal and theoretical--they won't let us have them here in the US!  But I'm sure there are enough commonalities that you can glean some helpful information.  Post any specific technical questions here in the New Generation forum.

 

Ireland--ahhh, the beautiful Emerald Isle!  I have roots there (doesn't everyone?!!)  So last summer we took our daughter and her family there for a short visit.  Fantastic--lovely countryside and wonderful people.  My only concern was that our beautiful 6 year old granddaughter, who has flaming red hair, might not be allowed to leave the country!
