It was discovered that there was metal particles in the oil which not only required an engine replacement but it also ruined the turocharger. At approximately 89,000 I took it to the dealer when the check engine light and traction control lights came on. "I bought this Forester new and since the day I bought it I had all scheduled maintenance completed by the Subaru dealer. In all the Subaru blogs, this problem figures predominantly. "cylinders had to be removed, heads shaved because of leaking gaskets. (2009 Subaru Forester Unsure 2.5-L 4 Cyl) "The engine has been leaking oil and antifreeze very badly. Has been a problem since 1999 and for some reason they do not appear to think it is important enough to fix." "head gasket delaminate and leak oil and antifreeze. (2009 Subaru Forester XT 2.5-L 4 Cyl turbo) Repair, which included replacement of the timing belt and other 90K service for economy (since head would need to be re-opened to do this at 90K) was about $3200" Auto tech said this was a chronic problem with these engines. Alternatively he said I could install the FWD fuse."Minor oil leaks in the cylinder head at around 70,000 miles. about $300 in parts, and a whole bunch of time. If that doesn't do it, he said I should do the solenoid and the clutch packs. So I went to the dealer to order the parts, and the parts guy said "well, you might as well try changing the ATF and filter first". Going out to lunch or driving home, the light stays off and the torque bind seems to have disappeared. The "subaru secret handshake" displayed the code, 7 long blinks followed by 9 short ones, which translates to this solenoid - most of the time. Low speed maneuvers feel like all four tires are flat, the awd is fighting. The "AT OIL TEMP" light blinks and stays blinking once started on a cold morning, and the car seems to have torque bind. Got a code 79 on my 01 Subaru Legacy sedan, auto, 155k miles.
