My 99 Subaru legacy has 67k miles on it and I was informed that my oil pump needs to be resealed and it will cost about $700 but they will also replace a belt since they have the front of the engine removed. I noticed on your other board that others have had this happen at about the same mileage. Is this a weakness of the Subaru and also does the $700 repair cost seem reasonable? I am in the midwest in a town of about 100,000 people.

 

thanks

well it seems alot of $$$ to me , i think you are talking about the timming belts , and the oil pump seal , what part of the midwest are you ?

I'm near Kansas City. I'm going to call around a bit today. Please tell me what you think is reasonable.

umm find someone from the board near you and pay 50 ish and a case of beer lol

Are you serious or just thirsty (I guess that smiley was for drunk and not quenched thirst)? So how do I find someone near me? I am on the Kansas side.
