The FNG Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 So as the title says, I'm buying a 2006 outback. It is an auto with the 2.5l engine. Has only 41k on it. Could you please help me make sure I'm getting a solid car? What are things to look for with these years? Is this the notorious 2.5 with head gasket issues? I'm used to the older gen stuff, and this will be my first newer gen soob. Thanks for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Headgaskets - look to see if they've been replaced before or look underneath the engine at the head-to-block mating surface. They leak coolant and/or oil externally there. Torque bind - as always check for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
