As mentioned last week, in my post regarding the wrx oil pump gasket one of the mechanics did mention that they have seen oil gaskets go on the wrx. That was the case for me. I tried to get more info, but none was forthcoming from the person who handed me the key when I picked up the car. He even insisted that this is not a common issue.
Anyway, it turns out that if/when the oil gasket goes, so will the timing belt as it gets soaked with oil. I dont know about you, but if I had to pay for a gasket change and get hit with a timing belt change, I would be pissed off royally.
Attached is a copy of the work, I have no clue what the actual cost is, because it was covered under warranty. My guess, easy $1500
I hope for your sake, if this thing goes, it goes while still under warranty. Otherwise, be ready for a big bill
What do you think the actual cost of this is?
