Car Forum / Subaru Cars / September 2007Downsides to the 2003 3.0L 6cyl?
Have a line on an '03 outback with the 6- any known problems? What gas mileage compared to the 2.5? Thanks- Dave > Have a line on an '03 outback with the 6- any known problems? I have a '05 outback with the 6 and have had zero problems. It's much quieter and smoother than the 2.5. No complaints. > What gas mileage compared to the 2.5? Hard to tell. Seems about the same, but I don't have any hard numbers. Maybe a bit poorer around town, but no difference on the road. > Thanks- > > Dave > Have a line on an '03 outback with the 6- any known problems? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Dave We had the A/C suction and discharge hoses replaced due to leakage of refrigerant. that's all I recall.

I have a 2001 with a 4 and had the head gasket issues the 4 is known for. Otherwise, they're fab vehicles. If it's due for a timing belt or coolant work take it to a dealer or someone with Subaru experience who knows the problems with OEM tensioners (and can try an aftermarket one), and the burping procedure for replacing the coolant. -- Todd H. 2001 Legacy Outback Wagon, 2.5L H-4 Chicago, Illinois USA > spamTHIS...@yahoo.com writes: > > Have a line on an '03 outback with the 6- any known problems?
