So i went to the dealer in Sacramento...
and told them about my bubbling problem(which was another post i had up for those who know what i'm talking about). For those who don't i heard this bubbling noise comming from my engine bay when i would rev my car a little in the mornings. I think there may be a small crack in the radiator because i keep getting low in coolant but there are no leaks and the it takes a long time to get low. So anywhoo, i tell them what the problem is and they ask me right away "are there any mods done to the car?" So i tell them no because i have nothing done to the engine at all. I also tell them that i have full warranty and ask them if it will be covered. The only things i have done to the car are after market rims and tires and coilovers. Do you guys think they will say anything about his voiding warranty? The guy i talked to says they can look at road hazards too as a way to say that it might not be Subaru's fault. Do you guys think my coilovers may be a problem with this being that its a stiffer ride?
thanks.
thanks.

Automall parkway aka Roseville Subaru does not carry a good reputation for service work at all.
Maita Subaru on Auburn ave in sac has treated me fairly and did not even ask wether or not I had mods as they did the clutch fix on my car. They did even make me prove that I had it (clutch shudder that is) They took my word and replaced clutch, throwout bearings, flywheel under warranty.
My car had at the time 17inch wheels and suspension mods as well as MRT radiator, 3rd cat elim and Aftermarket muffler and IC hoses.
I felt like they believed me and were not suspicious flakes. I should have purchased my car from them. I bought mine at the automall where you went.

Maita raplaced your clutch because it chattered?
I thought that was a problem that the dealership did not fix b/c it is not "harmful". At least thats what I've have read. My clutch chatters too, and it pisses me off that it does this. Maybe I should go to Maita too.

YES, they did sir that is correct. As per the work order that you see posted by BAN SUVS.
Yes, you ought to get that clutch "fix" its a SOA remedy for first year production flaw.

Michael.
Can you go anytime to have the work done? Well I suspect, if you are within the time frame of the warranty. My conservative nature leads me to think that "the sooner the better" philosophy. I mean if its an issue why wait around?
In my case the throwout bearings went bad by the time I had 20K miles on the odometer. So in my not so mechanically inclined mind thinks......what other damage is incurred while the clutch is shuddering? I would just get the work done.. but thats just me.

By the way, ditto to what everyone said about the Roseville dealership. Avoid it like the plague. It is like Sacramento's Stevens Creek, kinda.
