1Subaru1 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 I thought this might be of some use to Canadian Subaru owners with head gasket problems. :cool: Steve special to the star (Toronto) Jul 21, 2007 Q: I own a 2000 Subaru Forester that I bought new. It now has a leaking head gasket, with an estimated cost of $2,800 to repair. A previous Subaru recall was supposed to resolve this concern. My car was serviced with the prescribed additive as soon as the recall was issued in 2004. A "silent warranty" in the U.S. covers repairs to 1999 to 2002 model-year cars that develop a leak before 100,000 miles or eight years. Is any help available to Canadian owners? John G A: Subaru Canada replied only that "the matter had been resolved with the customer." As to what this meant, G explained that, one day after we contacted the auto maker, Subaru advised him they would cover the head gasket repairs. "It astonishes me that if I hadn't researched the topic, and then contacted Your Beef, I'd now be out several thousand dollars for the repair," G adds.
