I am after a 98 to 00 scoob and was wondering which ones were had the piston slap problems and would they all have been sorted under warranty etc.

I think mine has psiton slap. I'm having it checked out Friday, but was wondering would it still be fixed under warranty even if ive got a straight thru TSL exhaust system?

 

A majority of the piston slap problems would be sorted under the warranty. "Some" dealers will show concern [to say the least] about any modifications, but it all depends on how nice the dealer is when you approach them with this problem. A majority should not have a problem with exhausts, but on the other hand, you never know..............

 

thanx scoobyslut (nice name BTW)
i'll have to put on my friendly but persuasive head on!!

No problem, but if any doubts from the dealer, contact Customer relations manager at Subaru UK and he will get things sorted for you on your behalf, but use only as last resort, dont want to upset the local dealer or he might throw all toys out of pram when he see's the exhaust.!!
