I have a 1999 Outback Sport. I am not able to open my hood. I do not think the cable is snapped, but it may be streched. I tried grabbing the cable from under...
Hard to say for sure, but my wife and my 97' Imprezas have had some sticky hood latches. The best way would be to have one person hold the inside handle open...
Usually this indicates a misalignment of the hood latch for some reason. the release is working, but there is a bit of a bind... more than the spring can pop...
Eh? I don't recall having to remove the battery to do any plug or wire work.. I think maybe I pulled the windshield washer tank out of the way... But that ...
I just did the plugs on my EJ22, and nothing needed to be moved. I'll admit that the #3 (? rear drivers side) was...difficult. A 12" extension & wobble bit...
EJ22? EJ25? Where does one find the conversion from that notation to the model/year, etc? I've always wondered about that. ... [Non-text portions of this...
EJ22 and EJ25 refer to the engine series/size in the car. They are from the EJ series of engines, and the 22 refers to the 2.2L engine, and the 25 refers to...
Greetings, I recently replaced the plugs on my '00 obs and had to remove the windshield washer tank on the right and the intake manifold on the left. I also...
I replaced the spark plug wire, now it shifts with a 'bump" when shifting up - actually at "thomp' with a jolt - wondering if another wire is cut. Can someone...
Hi all, I was hoping somebody out there could give me some advice about when to change my timing belt. The dealer is telling me to do it now (I have 75,000...
In regards to the timing belt, the manual for my 99 OBS 2.2L says I need to have it changed every 60K. It is my understanding that later models suggest you...
My mother had a timing belt go on her Volvo just after the waranty expired and it ended up costing her about $3000. I had my timing belt done on my 99 Outback...
I would say it depends on your level of money you can drop. Personally if my manual says 105K, I'm going to wait that long because I haven't heard of many...
Thanks for all the advice. I'll probably get it done before 90,000, sometime when I have the cash. The dealer is telling me that they are having a special,...
I guess it depends on how much you like the dealer or another garage. Anyone should be able to do it (though I do a lot of stuff myself, this one I don't. I...
I agree with the other party who wrote about leaving the waterpump alone. Water pumps often last the life of the engine. When they fail it is generally a...
I replaced my timing belt c. 60K, but had to talk my local Subie guru into doing it; he feels they're good for 100k+. There are an awful lot of short...
Met my fiance here! hehe. Thought I should share it with any other guys who are worried about ending up alone like I was. Check it out...

Anyone know much much fuel is left in the tank when the low-fuel light comes on? Mine did last nite... so I stopped at the gas station, but could only put in a...
OK here's the skinny on my new acquisition, it's a 2000 outback sport, auto with 74,925 miles. It's seems to be in good condition with average wear and such...
My experience is that they vary a lot. To my knowledge as long as you don't have a 1.8L engine you should have like a 15.9 gallon tank. In practice I fill up...
Has anybody changed transaxles on an OBS to the part time 4x4 with high low range? There are times it would be nice to be able to creep around slow. The OBS...
There is no aftermarket kit that I know of, nor is one conceivable. However earlier model Subaru transaxles used a high low range transfer case with in and out...
We moved from eastern Washington to Houston, and of course here there is almost no call for AWD. I would disengage it if it were possible, for the fuel...
Chris: The AWD does not impose any fuel penalty as designed. In other words a 4x4 in and out box would save no fuel at all. You still must turn the rear axle...
I'm not familiar enough with the older Sube's. Did they use the same 1.8Lengine you've got back then? I'm assuming that anything that had a 2 speed transfer...
If you have an auto tranny you can put in the FWD fuse in the engine compartment. But, as has been stated there's no point to it. All it's going to do is...
