factory defect, it would be under warranty. The paint problem on the
front bumper might pass for factory defect.  It would ahve to be
determined.

ok, now I realized that saab 92x is indeed a subaru with saab shell, but
I've heard that it's much better interior, more reliable, and much more
stiff suspension.
Also I have $3500 accumulation on my GM visa card which can spent on Saab.

Sorry to bore anyone on another question of this nature.  My 96 OBW
(w/178k miles) when idling does not overheat at all.  If does overheat
when it is in drive.  Does that mean that the headgaskets are gone or

I have an 02 WRX with the 6 disc cd changer and factory subwoofer.  When i
turn on my dome light the sub woofer dims it during a kickdrum in the song.

1995 Subaru OUTBACK Air Conditioning problem:  It appears that cool air
comes in intermittently.  I tried increasing the RPM at stoplights but that

Any idea where the gas guage sender unit is located in a 1995 outback wagon?

Just got a new OBW, LL Bean model and when I moved the <Support Our
Troops> magnetic ribbon from my old car to the rear hatch door of the
OBW, much to my surprise it would not stick, no matter where I put it

I have Outback 2002 2.5 4AT. My problem is with right-hand side mirror.
It won't go up or down when I try to adjust it.
So, the switch (on the driver's door) for mirror adjustment is set on
right-hand side mirror and I can move the mirror left-right, but cannot

the gusset (small triangle front rubber) of my right frontwindow of my
Forester '99 leaks air, so a hissing noise is heard at highway speed.
When I push the gusset (from inside ofcourse) against the window the
windnoise disappears.

How to go about it?
When I refused to take the car home last Thursday until they took care
of some thing, I ended up taking the discounted offer of perma plate
that protects UV and bird droppings, etc. (7 years warranty).

We just purchased a new 06 forester 2.5X (the base model) in a 5 speed.
Prior to buying the car I rented the exact same car but in an automatic. The
rental had ~1000Km (I'm from Canada). I really liked the rental car, but did
have one problem. Sometimes the engine took a bit of ...

I typed www.currysubaru.com and ended up getting NY subaru site.
I remembered seeing your posting that the curry Subaru in Masachusette

can't even find that thread of yours when I clicked on the link

This may not be the appropriate forum, but there have been many good
discussions in this group.
We've had third brake lights in our vehicles now for say 10 years or so.

could anybody tell me what the Pollenfilter should look like? We got part
number 72880SA000  says 050422A on the box, too. Is this the right filter
for someone with allergies, or is this just a "normal" air filter? Just
thought I should ask before I install it...
