We are assuming the air conditioning is working, just not well. Go for a cheap kit, as long as it has a gauge, and add the refrigerant with the stop leak....
I just came to the realization that I'm doing the 30k service on my 03, buying the best of everything and keeping at least $400 in my pocket. I'm looking at...
You should do your own research to be sure, cause I looked it up years ago for my 97' but as far as I know, you need something like 80-140(I think that's the...
hi all, a few weeks ago I asked about how to remove the "outback sport" decals from the sides of my '05OBS, and how to take the "outback" badge off the back...
Oh come on, live a little, and spring for one. They don't cost that much. I keep a 1500 watt blow dryer in my garage for various similar type projects. ... ...
You can get a hair dryer at Wal Mart for about 15 dollars if you can't figure out how to borrow one. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
hmm well thanks for the input everyone, but I think I'll just wait 48 hours 'til this friend of mine gets back from her cottage out of town. I'm sure she'll...
did anyone else watch the X Games today (Saturday) ? It's the first time I've really been able to watch a rally event. The only other stuff I've seen was the...
It was more of an exhibition than anything else. There were a few high dollar entries in the Travis Pastrana (Subaru factory backed entry) show. I'd imagine...
Well, my '97 OBS is coming up on 120,000 miles, and I think it's time for a major service, certainly before winter. I did have the timing belt done about...
I'm not sure if I'm understanding or not... You just think it's "due" for things to be worn out and you want to replace some things? Personally, I'd say you...
I agree, even at the lower mileage service intervals, some of it is a waste of time and money. The only reason I've been planning mine is to keep the extended ...
Now I have another question. Isn't the manual transaxle the front differential? I haven't lifted it up and crawled under there yet, but I'm expecting to find...
I'm not sure with the manual tranny, never looked at one, but I would think the setup would be similar to the auto. I know on mine I have the tranny dipstick...
The only things I know for sure: During low-speed turns at full lock, I get an intermittent click from the front end. This is what has caused me to wonder...
What is it that the manual tells you to replace? I can't think of anything I've seen in a manual that would tell you to replace anything in the front end...
Yup, Just tapped into the fuse box. Not really the best way to power something but it doesn't draw all that much. I think you'll end up liking the wired...
Just hit 90,000 on my 2000 OBS and replaced the timing belt for the first time. I kept the original water pump at the advice of mechanic and hat I read on...
hello all, just wanted to let you know that the decal/rear badge removal took place today........ flawless victory. everything looks great, can't even tell...
I believe I've noticed the same thing after replacement on my 97's. It made me a bit uneasy as well. That said, Either the noise went away or I got used to...
those thingers that grab onto the discs on your breaks... whatever they are called. well, I've only had my OBS about a year now, and even prolly about 6 months...
The brake pads are what rub against the brake discs. However unless you're removing a bolt to open the caliper, you wouldn't really be able to see them... If...
Yes, surely it is the calipers, so this is nothing to be concerned about? They are supposed to rust that quickly? The inside of my tailpipe is also very...
Nothing to be concerned about. I imagine it depends some on where you live. If you live in an area where they use salt on the roads in the winter (like here...
wow, you have 220K miles on yours? that's great (I think). if I may ask, what have you had to replace over the years? what broke down on ya during that time? I...
I had ~214k on mine when I spun a bearing in the engine during an auto-cross last October. I firmly believe had I not been actively autocrossing w/ it, it'd...
see, it's stories like that which make me glad I gave up on autocross after 1 attempt - I knew it would be too stressful on the car. despite what the other...
Well, I bought it with 92K miles around 2000 so I can't say what might have been replaced prior to that, but... I've replaced: -radiator cap $7 (maybe around...
