Subaru Outback exhausts?

Sep 06, 2009 by TheColorCute | Posted in Subaru

What are some positive exhausts that would fit an '03 Subaru Outback? I'm looking for an exhaust that would give the engine a low rumble noise? But any good mod-type fag suggestions will be helpful.

Thanks! :)

My Subaru Legacy Outback is Using / Burning Coolant?

Sep 05, 2009 by Nate C | Posted in Subaru

I have a 97 Legacy Outback w/ 170k on it. I replaced the radiator last year and it has been working awful until recently when the temp gauge started going up. The radiator coolant level was down and the expansion reservoir was quite full. I noticed the radiator cap was a little worn around the seal, so I replaced that thinking it may have let coolant go into the tube/augmentation reservoir. Now every couple weeks I have to add coolant (maybe 1-2 quarts) to the radiator because it's low. I have no white smoke and oil color looks typical. Any ideas on what's going on? I don't notice any leaks on the garage floor or when the engine is hot. Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Subaru + 170k miles + former cooling system issues = bad head gasket.

It never fails on these cars. If it ain't leaking on the outside its leaking on the innards everted. Head gasket failures are the Subaru's achilles heel.

Hopes on me, Mark is correct. Anywhere between 110-150K miles most of these (great-otherwise) 2.5 dohc engines will develop a commonplace breach in the headgasket and the gaskets will need to be replaced with the newer and better-design gasket. The symptoms are strictly as you describe. I can tell you how it is technically but you now already know what you need to know. The heads should be skimmed (trued), a valve resurfacing done, a excessively pump replacement also done (if not already), timing belt (if not already), etc. Usually runs $1,500-$2,000 at independents and twice that at the dealers, but solid beats new car payments! And, I have never had a second head gasket replacement needed with the new gaskets.

what spark plugs for a 97 subaru impreza outback 2.2L?

Sep 03, 2009 by we're talking about practice | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

i'm flourishing to replace the plugs, but don't know what kind to get. Some websites recommended replacing them with whatever the manufacturer had in. I cant find that information anywhere. Would you introduce copper or platinum or iridium? I've read more expensive is not always better.

Why is there smoke under my hood?

Sep 03, 2009 by aspiring_author | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

I have philanthropic of a dilemma, or at least possibly one. My 1998 Subaru Outback, is producing white smoke. The problem all started about a year ago when it had a manner of funny, burning rubber smell to it under the hood. I talked to my dad about it, and he said it was nothing to worry about. However, I noticed that if I went elongated distances (IE 60-100 miles) that I would see smoke under the hood once I parked. Now, it's worse than before, it only takes about 5-10 miles for it to start smoking. Also, now when I go for prolonged drives, it smokes a lot more than before. I sort of experimented, drove for about ten miles, had the fan and air conditioner off, and found out that I think it didn't smoke or exceedingly heat up. I only did this once, so I don't know if it was just by coincidence. I'm kind of worried about it, I'm afraid that I'm going to be stuck on the side of the means sometime, or that it will blow up. It also makes a squeaking sound quite often, like a belt or a break is about to go out. It does it legitimate randomly, for instance: sometimes when I have the air conditioner on/off, when I first start it, when I'm turning, or when it feels like it (I guess). So, I got the belts replaced, but it still makes the noises, it's very snazzy, and a little embarrassing. I don't know much about cars at all, so I'm very confused, and any advice would be greatly appreciated. I take fairly large care of it, and make sure that I always get my oil changed (which I did a couple weeks ago). There is corrosion on the battery, and the motor is quite dirty, which I have no idea how to clean and would probably ruin something if I did. I love driving a Subaru, but I'm a little pooped about driving this one. Anyone have any thoughts about what's going on? I tried to be as detailed as possible without going overboard. Sorry if this was too extensive of a note. Thanks for any help!

Car hiccups when idle?

Sep 01, 2009 by Sean B | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

By driving '99 Subaru Outback. It runs fine except it sometimes jolts or "hiccups" for a brief wink of an eye when I'm at a stop light. The longer I drive it, the more frequent the jolts occur.

So far, after doing 5 minutes of into, it sounds like it might either be a spark plug or cylinder issue.

Oh, no warning lights have come on either.

Thoughts?

It does seem like an pay-off with your ignition system. As your car gets hotter it creates more resistance on your wires and spark plugs. And sometimes your coils start to act facetious when hot. So if you haven't replaced spark plugs and wires in a while I'd stop by your nearest Auto Zone and get some. At the same antiquated get a bottle of injector cleaner, I recommend the Techron by Chevron. This might solve your problems. If not you might have to stop by a blow the whistle on buy and have them do a diagnostic on it. They shouldn't charge you more than 1 hour of labor time for a diagnosis.

IL Track Tested: 2010 Subaru Outback 2.5i | Straightline Blog on ...

Since its introduction for 1996, the Subaru Outback has had a cult-like following, and we plan that in the nicest way. It's the paradigmatic all-wheel-refer to wagon -- not too big, not too thin, but incredibly beneficial and hard for its bulk. The redesigned 2010 Subaru Outback is still altogether pragmatic, but we over it might have gotten too big. We about it has become a full-on SUV. And we're onset to omit the Subaru Legacy wagon.

This extraordinarily greatness and pressure is plain at the test lose sight of, where our 2010 Outback 2.5i tester handles and stops far more like an SUV than a wagon. We should note our assess Outback was a bit of an oddball in terms of mat -- a dirty 2.5i exemplar with the six-forward handbook gearbox and no options. Most 2010 Subaru Outbacks should have Subaru's Lineartronic CVT. As always, 2.5i indicates Subaru's normally aspirated, 2.5-liter, boxer four-cylinder.
