Thank you Allen, I can see this group can be very helpful. Two things-- 1. The question is-- Why is it that Haynes or Chiltons or even Subaru Co. manuals...

Da Soobie Man did indeed pay a visit to my very own driveway to check out my 97 outback sport just a week and a half ago. Good news, he says keep the car....
I searched the messages, read the FAQs, but would still like to get some opinions from the experts here regarding engine knock on my 03 Forester. I suspect it...
tough to honestly asses what it is without hearing it. #4 piston slap is somewhat normal, although no piston slap is healty for an engine... is it under ...
You are certainly welcome. Re: question #1, I don't know for sure, but it could have something to do with the new age we are in.......my buddy that is a BMW...
Thanks Glen ...inhibitor switch located on the trans was the problem. cheap plastic unit that fries when trans heats up..I now have backup lights. BJM B...

i listened to your mp3's... good recordings by the way. from just hearing it over the internet, it sounds like piston slap. Really the only thing you can do is...

We are looking a buying a new or slightly used car pretty soon. We currently have a '95 Brighton wagon with 160K on it that we bought new. It has been, and...
When looking at a new or slightly used Soobi, what should I look for and what should I stay away from? I tend to keep my cars for a long time and take good...
most are good... just stay away from the 97-99 era 2.5DOHC's. The engine is technically an EJ25D for the 98 model year but they did pop up as early as 97 and ...
My suggestion is to look for anything from 2000+. The reason is simple, for me anyway.... the 2.5 SOHC Phase 2 seems to be trouble free, and that's about when...
Please elaborate. I have a 96 Legacy LSi with the DOHC 2.5 engine and I think that began with the introduction of the Outback, which was in 94 or 95. Later...
Not all of the 2.5L DOHC engines have problems, just the majority of them. And the only real problem with them was head gasket leaking due to weak cylinder...
Others probably know the details better, but I believe the original 2.5 came out in 1995 or 1996, and only in the LSi or Outback with an automatic at first....
Ya know... there hasn't been much discussion lately about the magic potion Scoobaru endorsed and recommend head gasket conditioner (aka radiator stop leak...
there's been a couple of good points already made, but really the deal is the 2.5 phase 1 block. For a would be consumer the easiest way to tell is to poke...
