I was just wondering if anyone has experieneced any head gasket issues on there 2004 subaru? I have a 2004 so I am just curious? I did think that by 2004 subaru would of had the problem licked, but then again who knows! Please let me know all, thanks.

Should be safe. mid 01 or 02 the issue was fixed.

Actually the 2003's are affected also. Mid 2003 the problem was supoosedly fixed

I know that the 2003's had some front diff problems and needed to be rebuilt, but that is totally different from headgaskets!

.....I was talking about the headgaskets.

 

 

Subaru extends your warranty if you have the dealer put in the conditioner, so they are definitely problematic.

Here's the official Subaru list of the external hg peeping leak engines that qualified for the extended hg warranty if the conditioner was put in under the tsb. Soob doesn't seem to stick necessarily exactly to this list. I forget if the ~'03 fix was model year or build date.

2.6L Forester must be a typo, eh?

or there is a motor we have just discovered

yeah just saw that ej26?......

I think that is something they do to differentiate the engines; the difference may just be 'nominal' only.
