Common issues in this generation of Legacy can include oil consumption (particularly in the 2.5-liter engine), potential for CVT transmission issues (if equipped), and wear in suspension components. Regularly checking and topping up engine oil is crucial. Pay close attention to any unusual noises or slipping from the CVT transmission. Suspension components, especially ball joints and sway bar links, should be inspected regularly.
Key WOF (Warrant of Fitness) watchpoints for the 2010-2014 Legacy are: Tyre condition and tread depth, brake performance (including uneven wear and condition of rotors/pads), headlight alignment and function, suspension components (ball joints, bushings, struts), and exhaust system integrity (leaks). Rust, particularly around the rear subframe and suspension mounting points, should be inspected. Ensure all lights, indicators, and wipers are functioning correctly.
The 2010-2014 Legacy GT features a variety of engine options, prominently including a robust 2.5-liter naturally aspirated boxer engine and a more dynamic 3.6-liter six-cylinder engine. As an owner, it's essential to keep an eye on parts such as brake pads and rotors, which may need replacement during regular maintenance. Service intervals usually recommend brakes be checked every 30,000 km, ensuring safety and performance. Additionally, the cooling system requires attention around 150,000 km, with components like the water pump, thermostat, and radiator needing inspection to prevent unexpected failures. This natural segue leads us to our Cooling service category.
Don't forget about the braking system as well—replacing worn pads and rotors in a timely manner is critical to ensure optimal stopping power. Our specialized Braking services cater to these needs with quality products that meet your expectations.
