nipper Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I am happy about the no CAT replacement as well.... Just out of curiousity - I looked all over the web for info on 100,000 mile warranty on emission gear, but couldn't find anything. I believe that Subaru quotes 80K miles or 5-years on a 2002. Is this a Federal mandate type of thing? (I have not looked through the glove box for info yet). In 2002 that may have been the mandate. I think now its 100,000 on the cat. Its federal. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brus brother Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I'll bet it's the front O2 sensor. BTW, there was a recall on my 2000 Legacy front O2 sensor as they were prone to cracks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OB99W Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Anyone care to venture an opinion on the cause of the "whistle" that was originally reported? I'm trying to correlate that to the fuel filter and O2 sensor replacement having solved the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferret Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Right from Subaru.com Site: ( By the way, Sensors including the Oxygen sensors, are covered by the 3 year / 36,000 miles Federal Emision Warrenty ). Below covers the Cat and ECU . Federal Specification Emissions Extended Defect Warranty Coverage: 8 Years / 80,000 Miles Some specific major emissions control components (catalytic converter, electronic emissions control unit and the onboard emissions diagnostic device) are covered by the Federal Emissions Defect Warranty for a period of 8 years or 80,000 miles, whichever comes first. The complete list of parts covered under this warranty is included in your Subaru Warranty and Maintenance Booklet. That booklet also contains other important information about your Federal Specification Emissions Extended Defect Warranty including additional coverages, limitations, and your responsibilities under this warranty. Please read your booklet carefully. If you’re not sure about whether a specific failure on your Subaru is covered, your Subaru dealer will be able to inspect your vehicle and answer any questions you have.
