Hi, just wanted to share an experience I had with my GT a few months ago....
March 07, had my 100,000kms service performed by Denlo, all went well and completed, so timing belt, all the filters etc.. etc.. still under warranty.
April 07, out of warranty
May07, went to Canberra and on the way back my car died, literally. Would not start, I was on the highway from Canberra to Goulbourn and the car starting to make this loud clacking noise... sounded like tappets on an old car going.. I wasn't sure and not much I could do, I slowed down and lucky for me I came up to the Goulbourn exit. Limped the car to the Mobil petrol station and stuck there for 3 hours.. $500 later, car arrived home via a tow truck. Next working day, the two truck took it into Subaru.
Subaru advised my engine had failed due to bad petrol.... apparently I had put bad fuel into my engine.. NOW THIS REALLY ANNOYED ME. I told them I had purchased two Subaru's (WRX 05 and GT 04) of Denlo, both times under lease so a Shell Card came with it, EVERYTIME it was Optimax, nothing less. No mods, stock standard.
Emails back and fourth for a few weeks, I got Subaru Australia involved (apparently the same mob too - Inchcape) Finally they advised that Subaru Australia would pay for all the parts, so entire new short engine, fuel pump but I would be hit for labour...
Anyways it was a bitter sweet experience. What can I say, I am still a devoted fan of Subaru... love their product and the customer service of Subaru Denlo I couldn't fault.
Anyone have any similar experiences?
