a mechanic replaced the valves in my '99 outback legacy, 97,000 miles, after a timing belt failure. the engine light came on and the dealer says it's the catalytic convertor and it must be replaced. i read some time ago here that there is a possible solution to the problem but i don't remember what it was. any help here?

It may be the oxygen sensor...I just came from my mechanic and they
have been telling me since november I need a new catalytic converter
but now they say I need a new front oxygen sensor--they said that there
is a service campaign bulletin for this problem. I called the
dealership but they won't fix it because they say that they are no
longer obligated to fix that particular campaign bulletin. I'm hoping
others may have this problem and can help me and explain why the
campaign bulletin no longer is valid on this problem.
