7000 miles on the engine.
I could hear a popping sound on cold engine start.
Also had CEL 0351 before changing the coils - on my dime as well.
Dealer refused to replace the coils even with a CEL present.
From this I learned a few things:
These seals are very hard to replace without damaging them even when using the "special tools".
If you order a new injector they come with factory installed seals.
I therefore believe many of the technicians are damaging the new seals during warranty replacement which later results in another failure.
The "we're ordering you new special improved injectors" trick is just to avoid the manual seal replacement. They can just unwrap and plug them in.
I didn't see any difference in the seal on the ordered injector and the seals provided via Subaru parts.

What, if any, powertrain mods did you have?
