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...
Subaru has stepped up their warranty coverage on head gasket issues, and will now cover them for 8 years or 100,000 miles, but only if the condition still...
Hey all....1997 OBS, does anyone know if a cold air intake is available for this car? Everything I see doesn't make a provision for the MAF sensor. I could...
Hi all- I've lurked here for a couple of years and have found the messages and responses illuminating and helpful. I'm hopeful someone with some expertise and...
Hi James- It's still under the 60K drivetrain warranty, and I did get one of the Subaru "Classic" extended warranties. I'm hopeful that between the two I'll...
So I'd just take it in and let them worry about it. (They've got mine right now, with a stickin' blown head gasket at 71,000 miles!) Good luck, James ... the ...
I put one in my 2000 OBS. Not sure if the same would work in yours or not. It's a Short Ram by AEM (I think). This was supposed to only fit a 2002 and later...
... provision for ... there ... I have a 97 OBS and just last weekend removed the the intake silencer and rubber gasket from the air box. Definite difference...
As stated, Subaru has stepped up their warranty coverage on head gasket issues, so they did that work with no charge (left cylinder head only). They claimed...
Anyone had their crankshaft pulley off? My wife's 97' Impreza L has been making some noises for a while, couldn't see anything obvious. Yesterday she was...
I looked it up on alldatadiy.com, I have a subscription for my '99. Here's the details: 4. Install pulley bolt. (2200 cc model) To lock crankshaft, use ST. ST...
Woah.... I'm concerned with: The mention of boltS - Is this a misprint, or are there other bolts I'm not aware of, or is this something on newer models? Same...
I like my OBS - when it's working right. It drives good, it's great in snow, and - even though it's no real gas mizer - it's definitely not a gas guzzler...
Aye, that's the rub.... to give up AWD, you open yourself up to a plethora of awesome little fun cars: Mini Mazda 3 Golf/Rabbit 3-Series ...and on, and on....
I have similar thoughts as you. When there is snow on the ground and road. I love to have that AWD. It's goes through everything without any reason for ...
Well, that's the deal Andrea, I already have a fun little car without AWD - a '93 Toyota MR2 Turbo. I found one with not many more miles on it than my OBS....
Other choices? if either of my 2 subies were totaled ( the only way I would replace them now), I would chose a RAV4. More room, better mileage, better...
No problem with Buffalo winter (NY), haven't had enough snow to bother a 2 wd. FWIW, we totaled our outback limited last summer, or soobie man got us a legacy...
Hi James, I've had CEL problem with my 2000 OBS back in September, but it turned out to be a bad sensor. Which shop have you been using? I've been taking my...
Yes, I had a bad sensor replaced too. The cylinder head gasket failure was evident by the coolant leak from the middle of the engine. I've been getting my...
Neil, How many miles on the Outback Limited when it got totaled? Any problems with it before that? And is that a new or used Legacy you got now? What year &...
HKF1, How many miles on your Subies? I was looking at the Rav4s too. They seem like real cars now, as opposed to when they first came out. The mileage doesn't...
