JDK Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Looking at buying a 2.0 D S Legacy estate in the next few months. Anything to look out for in particular ? Have read the 2009 onward's seem to be more reliable ? Many thanks James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swayze88 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Also Interested in responses to this. From my research into the Subaru diesel pretty much anything pre 2009 is destined to break a crankshaft (If the internet is to be believed) however ebay/autotrader etc seem to back this up with all the spares or repairs out there being <2009 with a splattering of 2010s. The Legacy (correct me if i'm wrong) was the first to get the improved engine sometime mid 2009. Other than this I have no idea what to look out for, all my research was done based on Forester/Impreza diesels resulting in me buying an XV... go figure!

Matt_Thomas Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I’d love to know the answer to this question as well. I believe the MY10 facelift models have the euro5 engine but I don’t know to what degree the engine was improve in regards to crankshafts. I’ve got a 10 plate euro5 and have a similar worry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
