There is no way of saying for sure. As long as the engine never overheats and you change the coolant every 50,000 miles it should last the life of the engine.
You may need to replace the radiator thermostat and gasket.
It should be.
Subaru Outback was created in 1995.
I just got a quote from my subaru dealer for a 2002 outback wagon with the 2.5 engine, and it's $1750. Check to make sure you aren't covered under the recall. If you aren't......I had head gasket, timing belt, and drive belts all replaced for about $1100.00 on my 02 outback wagon. At the dealership.
The Subaru Outback is sold in the US.
The new catalytic converter and gasket for my 2005 outback wagon was $830 installed at an independent Subaru specialist. Are you sure that yours is not covered under warranty (80,000 miles, I think)
YES!
