Hey all, A while ago I posted that I was having some strange road noise coming from the rear end of my '99 OBS. I took a few hours off of work today and...
OK, ignore this last email. It turns out that the diff fluid only appeared low because the front end of the subaru was facing downhill. As soon as I parked...
Hi all, The other day I was changing the oil on my '99 OBS. When I was finished, I went to close the hood, but realized it wouldn't fully shut. After opening...
... My 04 OBS is approaching 15 K miles(purchase Sep 03). I have done 3 oil changes myself. Purchased the oil filter and washer from a local dealer for ~$8....
you don't even have to jack'em up - the filter and drain plug is accessible from the front side easily. btw, recommended procedure says to replace the washer...
Yeah, that's what I do with mine (don't jack it up) it just takes more time and makes it more dangerous and doesn't drain as much. You just get dirty, or you...
Well, here's my put: When I still had my Porsche, I used to change the oil myself because there was no convenient Porsche dealer in the area, and I don't...
Fellow Subie owners A dude in confusion needs some help with a brake problem. When I apply the brakes at speeds over 45 MPH there is a low intensity vibration...
I've taken cars to our local Jiffy lube and never had any complaints I can think of. I also watch them though so I have a good idea of what's going on. As for...
The only thing brake-wise that should create vibration that I can think of is warped rotors (a pretty common problem). Usually you just have the rotors...
If you get a chance make sure to visit this new forum. It has a lot of information regarding workshop related work, such as: Welding, Fabricating, Metal...
Hi All, Where's the best place to check the real trade-in value used by dealers for my OBS 00? KBB reports lower value as compared to Edmunds. Thanks! Joseph...
Does this happen more during cold weather? There is a TSB out for a "cold fuel smell", which I have had performed on my '02 WRX wagon. The fix consists of new...
About the crush washers; I thought I could get by without a new one also, but the first time I re-used the old one, I had a small but persistent oil leak...
Hi folks... Decided to buy the new Saab 9-2X, so I'm selling my 2002 OBS. Don't know if anyone's interested. I'm in NY, Long Island... http://tinyurl.com/59zme...
The dealer I just recently bought from got the trade-in value for my '00 straight from the KBB website. (I watched him do it...) I went to a different dealer...
I am approaching the 1 yr mark(picked up 16SEP03) with my red 2004 OBS with manual transmission. The odometer reached 15K miles this morning and I thought I'd...
I'm going to assume that you're ONLY going for 200K miles because by then there will be another accident? j/k (: My 97' is st 188K an climbing and still...
Thanks! The dealer I talked to told me to check with kbb. It is low from kbb compared to nada and edmunds. I am buying another subie - its outback xt...I just...
After the deluge we got from Francis, when wifey open the reaf hatch she got about a teacup full of water draining from the left side inner cover. Wonder if...
I joined this group having just purchased an Impreza Wagon '93 ... so it really doesn't quite fit into your category of cars...but close. There is no other...
Yeah, you're probably better off browsing nasioc.com I don't know how many people on this list have much of ANY experience with the 1.8's... Let alone to the...
In response to subaru reliability, my dealer has told me about two imprezas that had over 300K miles. One of them still had the original clutch. Levi Smith...
Robert: The stuff in the pan bears no resemblence to any normal wear material I have ever seen in an engine. As it turned out I believe most of my leakage...
I'm interested in the technical aspects, but you're asking questions I don't have any useful information to give you... (: And as you mentioned before, you're...
GREAT!! I got my '04 OBS in late June this year, just before the '05 came in. So far I LOVE my OBS!!! I considered a RAV 4 too but the OBS beat the RAV4 all...
congratulaions to the new owners. yeah, obs is way cooler than rav4 - rav4 is a cheesy, chick car! ;-) um... that is, obs is a cool-chick car (there, i save...
i, too, am interested in your overhauling work, but as levi, have no expertise to offer. fine copper... blue or yellow? could it be residue from one of those...
... I did the "total system reset" thing on my OBS when I got it (clear auto transmission memory, etc) and at first I was getting about 20mpg, and over time...
