2008 OBXT - Original owner. 140,000 easy trouble free miles until the stealerhip in Conshohocken PA got their hands on it to replace a blown out turbo and put in a new timing belt. Big mistake. I normally turn the wrenches on my cars and bikes, but I was living in an apartment building that wouldn’t allow me to do any of it In the Parking lot. Two weeks after I got the car back the bolt holding tensioner in place broke and the Belt slipped, then shredded, and let’s just say there was ‘interference’ in the valve train. Dealer said it was a bad bolt. Subaru Americ said poor workmanship by dealer. I say the tech used air to tighten it and was way over torqued. We all argued for a week or two, with me insisting on a new crate motor, SA insisting the dealer
Pay for it, and the dealer holding out for SA to pay half. Instead, the same
Tech fixed it, top end only, and they billed me $0 but I have had problem with the car ever since. I had to replace HGs 15,000 miles later and as I disassembled it became clear to me that the Dealership in Conshohocken has no oversight on the Techs and apparently no quality control. Bolts missing...torque specs ignored, One valve cover had OEM gasket with silicone in right spot, other
Had only silicon. And there was no thermostat installed.....in PA.
