AUTOS ON MONDAY
If Subarus Grow Up to Be Pretty, Will They Still Be Attractive?

Just got the timing belt replaced on my Y2K OB.  The replaced all the
front seals (crank and cam) but said they also saw leakage from the
rear cover plate (also referred to it as the baffle).  Told me this
wasn't that unusual and when they replaced it they typically replaced

I have '00 and '02 Legacy/Outback wagons, and in both cars I'm getting a
ton of wind noise passing through the front door windows.  In the '00 the
wind noise is coming from passenger door window in the lower front corner
where the triangular plastic molding is. Wind passes through ...

Is there an "recommended" interval to change-out the power steering
fluid? Is this ever really needed? Under what circumstances? One Subaru
dealer in the area says "no" but a local shop that I normally trust
recommended the fluid change. Thanks for the comments.

I have a 54 plate (UK) WRX & as bloody good as it is it really does have more understeer than I like.
It's got Potenza tyres on. Is it the tyres or the 4wd system pushing the nose wide on even slow bends?
BTW, I love the car & think as a work car & fun car you cant get better!

I have a 1999 Legacy AWD. After driving about 20 miles it starts to pull to
the drivers side. There are no noises that I can hear. Any suggestions
please?

Does anyone know the amount of oil required (in metric) to top up the
level from the 'L' mark to the 'H' mark on the dipstick of a 2003
Forester 2.0XT?   The manual doesn't contain this information.
Thanks,

Have a '05 Outback, 12,000 mile,  radio every once and awhile turns on cd
player by it's self, anybody have this problem?

Hi everyone -- I haven't read this group in awhile, but it was a big
help in my deciding to purchase my used '96 Legacy, in March of 2002.
The car was basically "mint" with only 46,000 miles when I bought it
from a local Subaru dealer.  The previous (original) owner also bought

I have just bought a new Subaru OB 3.0.  I notice in the owners manual I
cannot use chains on the stock all weather tires due to clearance
limitations.
Am I not required to have/use chains because of the AWD, or am I expected to

My Impreza sport - 1997 - has a mad speedometer - there is a really weird
whizzing noise from the dash and its goes up to 140mph and then goes back to
normal again for a little while before doing it again.
Its booked into a garage in 2 weeks time - but I would like to know if anyone

What is going on?  I have replaced the belts twice already.

My speedometer cable was broken and at the same time it broke, the "check
engine" light illuminated.Now i have replaced the cable and the meter is
working perfect but the "check engine" light keeps flashing (first is was
steady). Does anyone have ideas how to reset the light. I ...

When I changed the oil on my '00 OBW 2.5l, I only poured 4qts into it and
always read to the full mark....that's even allowing for pre-filling the oil
filter when about 8ozs.   4.2qt oil sump plus 8ozs oil filter = 4.45qts.  I
took the dipstick reading about running the car for ...

Subi tell me that the code on my 94 Legacy Sedan suggests that the CPC
solenoid needs to be replaced.
Asked Subi dealer to tell me but they said " We would have to jack it up
and that would require a service ticket"
