Hi, let me introduce myself or rather my car.

I bought a 99 Legacy sedan last year and have just had the head gaskets redone.

Is this going to be a recurring problem? The car only has 160,000km

 

Thank you, Daisy

You should post this in the "newer" generation forum. Us old gen types work with pre-1990 stuff mostly.

Simple answer: No. Subaru redesigned the headgaskets after the minor problem with them and many people have put many miles on their cars after having the HG's changed.

If it was done right, you shouldn't see any more problems. Like has been mentioned, if the newer design HGs were used, and any warpage or other head damage was taken care of, they should be fine.
