Calling all diesel drivers!

[majik_thighs]

Thinking of trading the 3.0 RN Outback for a diesel, it`s just getting ridiculous how much petrol i`m using nowadays, I still love my wagon and still get the same buzz driving it.

she`s 12 years old now so about time for an upgrade but how does everyone rate their diesel? ......good and bad?

Probably will go for a 2010 or newer Outback.

Personally I wouldn't go near an early days subaru diesel due to the cost of fixing the known issues....newer versions seem ok so far though

Hi Dave, hope your well.

Newer, from when?

[david1972]

Yes, good thanks mate; hope you are too.

I'm no expert (far from it), but I don't think there have been many problems from 2014 or so onwards. Others should be able to advise too

I know there can be a major problem with the heater plugs seizing in the heads on the earlier models but that`s all I know.

Me too mate.

Leaking injectors was also a problem.
