Sucks to hear about the car Greg....I'm sure Sam will take care of you.
 
Yeah, he's giving the VIN to his service writers tomorrow to clear it with Honda. Then I guess I'll take the car in for him to do a full diagnosis or whatever he has to do. If he can rebuild Mike's transmission 8,930,432,010,480 times then I think he can do a head gasket
 
Certain subarus have the hg issue, or it's common among a lot of their cars?
 
^Very common in Subaru's. Working at a dealer, I can't count the number of cars that came in per week for head gaskets. It was shocking when I first started working there but then I got used to it
 
A lot under warranty, or high mileage,.. or? Caused by a bad design?
 
:yeahthat:

I think most Subaru owners have accepted that fate because a lot of them know about it before they actually schedule the appointment to get the head gaskets replaced. I guess they like the benefits of owning a Subaru and are willing to pay the maintenance costs
 
I've never heard anyone with a subaru say this. Is there an aftermarket gasket that resolves the issue, or you just constantly drive around knowing the gasket is ready to go at all times? :bananapoke:
 
And please, no one mention my car problems on Facebook for now. In a while we can joke about it but keep it on the forum for the time being

What's up with the exhaust video? I didn't understand why it would take so long..

Obviously, you don't understand the time it takes to edit a video of that nature. There were probably 30 or so video clips that were shot. That have to be cut down, sequenced, transitions added, titling added, soundtrack editing, etc. All in somebody's spare time for no pay.
Please be patient.:tap:

I bought the extended warranty with a low to moderate co-pay. Performance cars break; I don't want to pay for it

Just about all HG failures are in the non-turbo, non enthusiast older models thats why you don't hear much.


The exhaust video is coming nicely, I can't do the drivebys because my card reader is in PA and I'm going home to get it.

I wouldn't say slow.. I'm more of a pussy and dont trust the car or myself quite yet.

I wouldn't say it was mean, sometimes some honest truth goes a long way, I would hope he would attend next year but if he talks like that in real life and drives like a total douche then things won't work out well for him, we've all been to the dragon too many times to put up with that.
