I've currently got a set of 02 WRX front seats in my 96 OBS. They feel much nicer than the stock seats. The seat rails had to be swapped from my stock seats,...
I also was looking to swap out the front seats in my 98 OBS. I found a 90s (the date on the door-sill badge was worn) Legacy Outback with heated leather seats...
Thanks, y'all, I had wondered about the airbags in seats but I didn't think about the heated ones. Hmm... While I'm on the subject, are the door panels from...
Well, got our first serious snow last night and probably more coming and my plow tractor is "inoperative" so will be a good test of the new super snow tires we...
Hi, We've got a '97 OBS, 5-speed, we're contemplating letting go in favor of a Legacy wagon--it's hard getting 2 adults and the car seat in there. I'm in...
Cranked too hard tightening my bolt after changing the oil last time - now it wont loosen. (the bolt turns and turns in either direction, but the threads are...
Well my husband is a subaru machanic, and he says that happens offten, and the good news is normally it does not destroy the pan,if its the factory plug, you...
My guess is it's stripped at the bottom. Maybe you've broken loose the captive nut, but I'd expect leakage then. Could you try wedging something like a screw...
Thanks for your reply Paul, someone who's husband is a mechanic suggested that too. Unfortunately there isn't a space big enough to wedge anything between the...
Dan, I haven't taken a look, but my guess is that if the Subie's like most modern cars, replacing the pan would be a HUGE undertaking - at the very least,...
Hey y'all, I haven't posted much lately so some of you may not know or remember me, but I have a 97 OBS 2.2L auto. I've been considering kicking things up a...
Hi folks. I've got a 97 OBS 5spd with about 140k on it. I've had it for about 18 months now. About two months ago or so I had an issue where one morning I...
Okay folks, My 2002 OBS has been largely fault-free save for some trim issues, being rear-ended by an uninsured drunk in a Ford F100, and being broken into...
There are code readers for around $100. I borrowed a generic one to read an error I had, and it worked fine on my '99. Next time I need one, I'll definitely...
I have a 97 OBS and my guess is that it's the speedometer cable. It happens to me ocassionally on particulalry cold days. I think that perhaps some water...
Yes, Advance Auto / Autozone will check codes for free and reset them if needed. If you don't know what the code is and can't figure out the problem then...
Thanks Ceezer. I read some posts saying that Autozone was now charging $40/shot, but Schucks was still doing it for free. So, it was off to Schucks, and -...
maybe caused by bad gas/ or a winter clean air mix thats messed up a bit? I would try to keep the high test in there for awhile to see if it throws another...
Think so? Six years and 71K miles, and it's never happened before. After it came on, I tried tightening the gas cap, and checked the air & coolant. The...
Unfortunately, the temperature gauge is controlled by the computer. People didn't like it when the temperature gauge fluctuated, so manufactures stopped it ...
Yeah Paul, that's what I'm thinking too. My hope is that the extended warranty I bought is still in force. I'm thinking about that crazy head gasket recall...
Well this is interesting - turns out my Subie's extended warranty's expired, but they've extended head gasket coverage to 100,000 miles. Guess it's their way...
Hey, That's good news! Glad they are taking care of you. During the summer, I didn't think I'd ever buy another Subaru, the gas milage was just too bad for...
I'm still thinking that, for a daily commutemobile, they can't be beat. Their gas mileage isn't all THAT bad, and they're really GREAT in snow. But, I'm done...
Well, it's all hypothesizing so far. What I really know for sure is that I've a coolant leak from somewhere around the center of the engine, and that I've a...
A little update on my OBS - Walker's Renton Subaru's got it in the shop now, are replacing the knock sensor, and have confirmed that one of the cylinder head...
