In the world of rally there have always been the two big names. Mitsubishi and Subaru. Sure Ford is doing well this season, and Peugeot and Citroën were...
Are you saying you have a 2000 Outback with 200,000 miles on it ? What maint has been done in the past? ... [Non-text portions of this message have been...
If you've had the car most of that time, keep doing what you've been doing. I don't think there's anything magical that happens at 200k, at least none of my...
The only thing i will say at 200,000 miles or 200,000K you may need struts. Otherwise just as Glen said. ... [Non-text portions of this message have been...
Check your owners manual. My guess... "ILL" stands for Illumination, and the 5 probably indicates a bulb that has burned out, like a tail light, brake light or...
Also, you may have bumped the illumination setting switch in my '05 Outback. It is to the left of the sterring wheel. I do that all the time with my knees....
Thanks Glen...I looked through the manual, but they don't even give you a trouble shooting section, much less what the error code might be. Illumination and...
James, I will look at that tonight and see what there might be. Sadly, with my 05' Legacy GT I have been riddled with electrical problems, they have replaced...

have a chilton's for this car, and a hayne's for my other car... they're both equally bad imho :) if i had the cash, i'd get a real factory manual for both...
PS i find haynes 1000 times better then chilton. i havent even opened a chiltons manual in 20 years, and im in the trade. ... [Non-text portions of this...
that would explain why the CEL only comes on/off at random - it'll stay off sometimes for days, and then stay on for 10 min or an hour, then back off again....
if you can get a used ECU or two for cheap start there. Inspect the engine and chasies grounds on the car. How many miles on the car. ... [Non-text portions of...
somewhere in the 240,000 mile range :) she's been a little trooper so far, no issues other than wheel-bearings and struts, and i was able to do those jobs...
All thsoe codes certainly make me think of a bad engine ground. Check resistance between the engine block and the negative battery terminal, should be under an...
Kyle, You wouldn't happen to have a couple of front mudguards for a 1990 Subaru Loyale (Wagon) in that pile, would you? I'm missing the pass. side and the...
