I`ve a 2000 W plate 4 door turbo Impreza with under 3000 miles on the clock.
I`ve owned it from new its silver with full dealer service history. It`s
never seen rain or salt and is concours.
Its got A/C, multichanger, P1 rear silencer and a Ramair filter.

Yesterday I got a can of STP Belt Conditioner. I sprayed it on the water
pump pulley as it was the only one easily accessible while the motor was
running. I got instant quiet!
The deflection on the belt is about 3/8 inch on a foot or so free

The clock LED on my '99 Forester sort of gradually gave out a week or
so back - now it's completely out. I'm guessing it's a loose wire
somewhere (not likely to be a fuse since it didn't go completely out
right away, and nothing else seems to be affected). Anyone else have

I have an 03 forester xs and would like to know when the 1st transmission
oil change should be.   I know, look at my maitance book, but it only says
when to  inspect it not when to have it changed.
My dealer wanted to change it at 15K miles and I wouldn't let him.  Thought

Has anyone installed a kartboy shifter on an Sti?
I have an '05 STi and would like to add the shifter and bushings,  but
I'm concerned that the shift effort will be too high. I know it works
fine on the WRX, but that's a longer throw unit than the STi's.

My 05 Outback is wierd. When I leave to work in the morning, I back out of
the driveway and when I put it in drive, the hit the gas, it doesn't do
anything for a second or two, then it flies forward, causing a "jerking"
motion. The Subaru service manager thinks that I'm not ...

My Type UK Sti struggles to start from cold. its got under 5k on it and its
5 months old.  Ill try and explain what happens.
When I turn the key the starter turns the engine over quickly and easily
until the engine starts,  when the engine starts it struggles to get to the

I have yet to pick up the car from the mechanic but yesterday I heard and
felt a loud snap as I exited a steep driveway (but going slowly and
carefully).  Broken tie rod.  I have 105k on the car, just did the oil leak
fix along with timing belt, water pump et al a few weeks ago.  ...

I just bought a 05 WRX and changed the oil the other night.  The manual
says the capacity is 4.2qts, so I put 4qts in and ran it at idle for 20
minutes.  I then shut it off and let the oil drain back down before I
checked it.  Thinking I would be adding 2/10th of a qt I was shocked ...

    They are Toyo Observe - G2 tires size 205-70 x 15.  These are
modern snow tires with walnut shells in the tread fomr our 1998 Outback,
when we got a newer Subaru these didn't fit it.  They have a reasonable
amount of tread, about 60% left, email me if you need a precise

I was wondering if any of you (Subaru Forester owners) could give me
some feedback on your experience with rust/corrosion protection of the
Forester.
I have just bought a brand new 2005 Forester 2.5XT and I wonder just

i've got an '02 legacy wagon with the 2.5l engine, built 02/02.
how can i tell which rev of head (and head gasket) i've got?  if it's
the leak-prone phase II, i'd like to give it the leak-stop treatment,
but if it doesn't need it, i'd rather not risk clogging up my cooling

My wife told me Fri nite that there was a whistling noise coming from
the car. It was late, so I decided to check on it Sat morn.
She wan't kidding, the damn thing screams when you open the hood.
Everything is so covered you can see a damn thing. It sounds to me like

I have a 1996 Subaru Legacy Outback with 100,000 miles that has
begun to stall after driving approximately 1 mile or 5 minutes the
first time each day.  The Check Engine light comes on and may stay on
for a while (but it eventually turns itself off) and the engine begins
