I have a 1996 (or 1995.5 depending on how you look at it) Subaru Legacy L
FWD sedan with a (I believe) 1.8L H4.  I replaced the battery about 3
months ago and have started noticing little problems ever since untill it
just died.  

When I bought my 2006 Outback 3.0R VDC, the Dealer Finance Person tried to
sell me the "Safe-Guard Tire & Wheel Protection/Roadside Assistance"
(http://www.safe-guardproducts.com/ptire.php) for $499 for 5 years.  She
justified this by telling me that "if I ruined one tire, all ...

Hey all,
My 2001 Outback Limited Edition Wagon is due up for it's 90,000 mile service
sometime early-mid summer.  Currently I just passed 82,000 mile mark and I
am curious as to what all of the routine services are for the 90,000 service

Does anyone have the bulb numbers for the interior A/T lamp and A/C
button lamp?  I would like to buy one from an auto parts store if there
is a cross for the $8 one my Subaru dealer does not have in stock.

I drove a non-turbo Subaru Impreza, and I was impressed with its
handling and acceleration. I would like to buy a few-years old Subaru.
The question is, which one. In the beginning, I wanted an Impreza WRX
because it had a turbo and allegedly provided loads of fun. On the

Would the easiest way to test a code reader on an Outback be to simply
loosen the gas cap, which should trigger the "Check Engine" light?  I read
that even if you do this by accident, the light will reset after you tighten
the gas cap and after about 10 engine restarts.

I bought an extended warranty (stupid or not -- at this point I have
it) on my 2002 OBW. At this point I have close to 60,000 miles on the
car. I have done all the required maintenance up until now --  
expensive stuff at times....$500 here, $600 there as required by the

I have a 2000 GT Legacy with 51,000 miles which developed a problem
when put from reverse to forward.  The car would not move until I
pressed the gas pedal for awhile.  I took it to a transmission shop
which just advised me that the transmission needed rebuilt at a cost of

I just purchased a brand new 2006 Forester Automatic. Driven it less
than one week.
Subaru gurus...What are some of the maintance things I should do/look
out for as I just start out to maintain this baby for long, long life?

I have a 2002 Legacy OBW that pulls to the left.
Tires are properly inflated with fairly even tread wear, but they're
also nearly new.
The car has always had a slight pull to the left since new, but never as

I have a 2003 Forrester with a lighter accessory socket in the compartment.
I use it to run my iPod transmitter and it also powers up the iPod.  The
power goes off with the operation of the ignition key and I have to restart
the ipod whenever I start the engine.  Does anybody ...

A couple days ago I posted here about changing my converter.  Received
assy and went about the install yesterday.  The Converter is an
Eastern Catalytic brand PN# 40237.  I first saw this brand a couple
weeks ago and didn't see them when I first started looking several

Does anybody know where to buy oil temp sensor compatible with Lamco
indicator that was offered as '02 WRX genuine accessory? I got really
ridiculous $200 offer from local Subaru service which I find way too
expensive...I know that a whole indicator/sensor kit from some other

I'm still working out the seat position--it's different for my winter
boots than for my sneakers. There are bells and whistles on a 2006 base
model that weren't on a 1990 base model. There are some definite nifty
things: heat, having a conversation with my daughter without ...

 Can anyone recommend a good OBD-II code software & interface for a pc
running XP OS?
 Essentially I'm looking for a diagnostic tool I can use on my own
Legacy to assist me in analyzing why my engine service light stays lit.
