I've been living with pretty noticeable low-rpm engine knock for a good year but had gotten used to it. It probably started around 130-140K, I'm now at 160K. ...
Wow, seems like they've had more trouble with the newer ones, or I'd sooner think it was somehow mistreated... I had nothing like that and my 97' 2.2 was...
Yeah, I know - I was definitely hoping for a bit more mileage! However, I bought it 3 1/2 years ago for a steal $6500 and have put pretty minimal $$ into it so...
I sure like the AWD, but wasn't very pleased about the leaky head gasket at 70,000 miles. (My Toyota Celica managed a quarter-million miles before it finally...
All, I think my clutch has finally decided that it wants to be replaced. So, I'm looking for a recommendation for a mechanic in the Denver, CO area to take it...
Call the dealer, and get a price. They'll give it over the phone. I recently had the timing belt and all 4 struts changed (1 was completely dead, two were...
My 2 Cents' worth. While I've always had dealer service on my Subie, after being shocked on a dealer service quote on a clutch job on my old Toyota, I took it...
OK, just decided to give a dealership a call. Does $1250 + tax (roughly $1350 total) sound reasonable? That sounds REALLY expensive to me, but then again,...
I don't have info for a large city, you may be exactly right in that situation... I live in a small town, and I can say that local mechanics are *considerably*...
Matt, I know it sounds like a lot, but then again, I've no experience with what it'd cost to do a Subie clutch. (With the story I told about my old Toyota,...
Right, and be sure to know what a clutch job is. Are we talking just the clutch plate? Or add the pressure plate and throw out bearing? IMO, not changing all...
Right, that's exactly it. When I redid the clutch job on my Celica, here's what I found: 1) Some of the bolts that held the clutch housing to the engine were...
I'm also looking to see what the parts alone would cost me, and then either take them to a local shop, or have a friend help me with the installation. Any...
Definitely, the disc, pressure plate and release bearing. Almost definitely, the pilot bearing. The flywheel is probably ok, but if you went too far and the...
Do you have any documentation as to your fuel economy or is it just seat of the pants? What was your aim for putting these plugs in? Did you gap them properly?...
Yeah, what Paul said. Except if I were doing it, my approach would be that if I was going to go through all the trouble of pulling a gearbox, I might as well...
it's just seat of my pants. It does seem to have more power. The old plugs were ngk r plugs but they were fouled. ________________________________ From: Paul...
Anyone have the link to the shop manual for a '99 OBS, or have the manual itself and want to share? I'm pretty sure I've seen people post this info in the...
Hmm, $920 out the door, all parts/labor/taxes included. I'm liking this option MUCH better. Thanks! ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
I have a set of ngk iridium plugs in our obs, and along with a KN filter, Redline synthetic gear lube in all three boxes, it gets 30 MPG at 6,000 plus ft....
I've decided I need to replace my rear springs because my left rear fender is occasionally rubbing on the tire. I checked to see if the fender liner has come...
My general notice on modern struts when worn is "looseness" while driving. Basically, I've noticed them having more of a tendency to go sideways over railroad...
Leaking is the test that the dealer seems to have. You also have the bounce test. Bounce the corner several times and if it keeps going up and down several...
Personally I've yet to see the bounce test work on my cars even when the struts were completely wasted and leaking all over. Kinda makes me think there's...
The bounce test was obvious on my front left. The rears, not so much. But they did feel soft. I think the front left was completely dry. Sure is nice having...
