Were there any Terzo's which suffered piston slap?

If your car is lowish milage and has FSH contact your dealer who may be able to get a goodwill claim for the parts and labour!! From what i know it is a common fault on 98/99 my cars!!

I haven't brought the car, but i've seen one with 30k on the clock.

the Terzo I brought revently has had the problem (it was fixed under warrenty though) check with the seller there's no reason for him to lie about it!

would a 98 r still be under manufacturers warranty? The terzo ive seen is at a Subaru dealer, so would they give me a option to extend the warranty?

As an Approved car via a main dealer it shold come with 12 months warranty. Terzo's have the same running gear and like other 98s are liable to suffer piston slap.

It's a known problem and some owners have been successful ingetting the problem resolved even though the cars warranty had expired. but if there's any suspicious noises choose another.

Can confirm that my Terzo had piston slap, which was sorted under warrenty

I have just extended the Subaru car cover on ny Terzo incase it might be a slapper in the future.

The cars affected mainly by piston slap were the 97 and 98 MY's the 99-00's have modified engines that is suppose to stop this (not that technically minded but someone will be able to tell you the differences ) Its common (ish) but not always bad (ish) but if you have any reservations you can always take the car to a dealer and they can fix it for you
