One thing I have noticed since purchasing my `01 Outback is that because the
antenna is stuck to the left rear cargo window, reception of distant radio
stations is much poorer compared to my mom's `95 Legacy L which has the
metal antenna that slides down into the car frame and ...

I have one question about the shifting of the 2001 Outback that I purchased.
Upshifting the vehicle works great.  Shifting up through all of the gears is
extremely smooth and all is well.  Even downshifting through the gears is
smooth until I shift from 2nd gear to 1st gear.  I ...

I was driving my son's  95 Legacy wagon today and the ABS light went
on. The weather was snowing so I pulled into a rest area and tried the
brakes. No ABS.
We noticed after I turned the car off that there was a noise in the

I'm about to ditch my '94 Legacy wagon for high mileage and expensive
repairs. I'm considering replacing it with a 2005 Forester, 5 spd, about
50K miles on it. The price is $18,000. My thought is that if I'm going
to spend that kind of money on a car, I'd rather spend it up front ...

Sorry about the million questions, but do both the water pump gasket
and thermostat gasket require any sealant like permatex? Or does one
both slip them in?

Is reliability of the 05' WRX  and Forester XT (turbo engines) on par

I recently noticed that my 05 Forester XT developed a slight whistling
noise.Sort of like air whooshing.  I notice it on moderate
accelleration, and as soon as I back off slightly on the gas pedal, it
goes away.  Anyone else had this problem? No changes have been made in

So my girlfriend just picked up an 87 legacy wagon with 160k on it. Has
hi/lo 4wd. Runs and drives ok. Got a couple quick Q's
Q1. The engine started getting warm driving it home, but before
reaching critical it cooled down to a normal temp (presumably the

I am wondering about the charcoal canister on my recently purchased 87
GL wagon. Carbuerated engine. First off I want to make sure it's the
charcoal canister. It's located on the passenger side of the engine
down from the spare tire, about the diameter of a can of soup, but not

I have a 2002 Legacy wagon with the

I've got a 99 Legacy Outback wagon (4-cylinder).
Three weeks ago, at 78,000 miles, the clutch failed. The car was across  
the street from a service station, so I pushed the car into their parking  
lot and had them replace the clutch. ($689 including tax.)

I have a 98 Outback sport (Imprezza) and recently after a long (4 day)
journey to a small town I decided to get a quick fluid and tyre service
and have some fog lights installed. Needless to say the fog lights
worked fine, but the switch was a real cheapy with no on light that ...

Any recommendations for a good Subaru mechanic, or even dealer, in the
Philadelphia PA area?
Thanks!
