I was driving on the highway at about 70mph when the AT OIL TEMP warning light started flashing. I stopped the car at the next exit and turned the engine off...
It's supposes to come on when the Automatic Tranny is overheating. I don't recall the specifics, but it should be in the manual. I was *thinking* that it...
My 2000 OBS has now started with a new problem. I have a manual tans and when I am shifting and engaging the new gear the car seems to buck, almost hesistate...
I'm not familiar enough with the OBS clutch, but there may just be an adjustment. Otherwise it is possible that it does need to be replaced. I would think...
I think $2000 may be a bit steep of an estimate also. You really should try to find a non-dealer shop and get some bids on the belt/water pump. And get a...
Thanks for your advice, I really do appreciate this forum. I actually already dumped the dealer and went right to a independent station so the numbers I gave...
The timing belt for $250 isn't too bad. (I paid $225) The water pump is only $70 and should be hardly any more at all to replace. (they're already in that...
After it bothering me all last night, I finslly looked up the name of the sensor that I had to replace for almost $400. It was the Idle Air sensor and it was...
Yeah, that's something I might have gone with used. My wife's had a Mass Airflow sensor go bad. I went looking for one and found them as $300-$500 for a...
I use tirerack also, but the best deal from them is for mounted tires. If you're just buying a set of Kuhmos to put on your wheels, believe it or not, Sears is...
Yeah, it depends on what your values are as far as price, handling, weather, life, etc... Personally, I just wanted this set to be cheap and last a while with...
When were the sti's introduced, do they come in a wagon model or are they sedans only, and what changes are made to a WRX to make it an sti? Thanks in advance...
I can't recall what year the STI came out, but it is NOT available as a wagon. The differences between the STI and WRX are noticeable. First, the engines -...
Thanks Matt, that helps a lot. A little surfing on Edmunds.com revealed that the sti became available in 2004. That year's still going for $24K to $26K. And...
To my knowledge, the WRX's (I assume we're only talking about the US Models here) were 2.0's until like this year... Also the suspension is better, quicker...
Well, my obs took a turn for the worse. On my commute to school on Monday it starting bucking really bad and the check engine light came on , even blinking at...
I guess so. It seems you must have just gotten a bad one. That is definitely not the norm... You've had more problems in (how many miles?) than I've had in...
It turns out that the bucking I described was caused by a misfire in one of my cylinders. It didn;t feel like any mis-fire I had dealt with in the past. I...
I purchased my Impreza wagon at 154,000 miles. It had a number of oil leaks and when I got it home I pulled the engine out and easily repaired them. The main...
For the wheel bearing, I had the front drivers side go out (at ~210K). I was quoted ~$350 from the local dealer to replace it, which I think is about what the...
OK, my first question for your clutch issue: Why was the clutch slipping? As for the hood, mine have only slightly developed a problem latching in the last...
The rear wheel bearing issue is a defect that occurred for most folks around 30 K. Sometimes they were repaired by the dealers and went out again, until they...
The clutch kit for my 99 OBS costs $245 with appox 4 or 5 hours labor to install. ... an ... replaced. I ... heard of ... much of ... local ... water pump ......
In regards to the hood latch, I've dealt with that problem as well. I had no idea why, but the latch just would not lock (at the time my OBS had only 75K and...
I tried WD-40 a couple times. It slightly works, but not well if at all. I've been told and found myself that PB Blaster is WAYY better stuff. Let's put it...
Most folks neglect to lubricate door and hood hinges and latches until they quit working. This should be a regular thing. Any oil will draw dirt, but once...
Every time I change the oil, I give the hood latch (and door hinges) a shot of spray lithium grease. Car is 110K, nine years old, no worries. WD40 is great...
hi folks, the gas mileage on my subie has declined quite a bit. it is '00 impreza outback sport stationwagon with manual trans and has 65k miles. after 20k,...
I had a similiar issue arise with my '99 OBS (manual). I went from getting 30 mpg highway down to mid-20s. I know the differance in mine occurred when I put...
