A week or so ago me check engine light came on. Code was P0420, an
issue with the catalytic converter. I brought it to the local Subaru
expert in town. They advised that the catalytic converter was bad and
needed to be replaced (though at this point I don't know what they did
to diagnose). Took it to the dealer to presumably have the catalytic
converter replaced under warranty.
When I picked up the car, they had not replaced the converter. They
reset the code, road tested, and the light did not come back on. They
advised that this is how Subaru tells them to handle the problem. They
did say that if the light came back on, they would replace the
catalytic converter.
Sooooo... my question is whether or not this is reasonable and/or
standard procedure. If it is, I won't worry too much about it for
now !
Thanks,
Dan
