The WRX starts up and runs fine after a jump, but then wont start after
siting for awhile. Probably the battery right ? The + post was dirty so i
cleaned it off. Turns over after siting, but its real slow. Can a battery go
just like that ? It was ok yesterday, parked it last night ...

I have a new 06 Toyata MAtrix with Front wheel drive, I purchased the
car last sept, and I am not crazy with the traction in the snow here in
the Northeast. never looked at a Subaru yet, but what model station
wagon has the most room and gets the best fuel mileage, I am getting ...

This afternoon while driving on the freeway I have heard sudden hissing
sound for 20-30 seconds and after that A/C stopped blowing cold air. I
openned the hood and the bad hose is clearly visible it's the fat one
that goes from the condenser . I need a replacement one and new

My daughter is driving my 95 Legacy L wagon (130K), and she called me today
stating that the car died at the bank drive-thru window...she tried to
re-start, and nothing.   She got it pushed into a parking stall....then, 10
minutes later it started right up.

Mileage has never been anything very good on this car.  I can squeeze
26-30 on the highway, maybe a tad more if I hold it under 705.
My latest fill...with 180 miles of strictly city (Joliet, it does have
a lot of lights and stop signs) worked out to a dismal 18 mpg. Never

I just yesterday got my 93 Subaru Imprezza (front wheel drive) back
from my auto shop.  It had been in for a few reasons.  My starter was
failing, it made clicking noises when accelerating around turns, and it
was up for inspection.

I recently had a ball joint replaced, and the guys at the shop tell me
the real struts and mounts need replaced. Better than $600, mostly
parts.
This seems possible, as once in a while the rear end is a bit clunky.

Attached is a picture of my air filter / intake system.  Just after
the air filter but attached to the plumbing is an enclosed cylinder
type device. Does anyone know what it's function is and what is it
called?

I changes the battery on my Forester and now the 4ways come on.  They blink
rather slowly about 8 or so times and then stop  for 10 or 20 seconds the
blink again.  It doesn't stop.  My dash indicators do not come on I can hear
a click when they blink.  It happens when running and ...

I have an outback that was over heating so I took it into the dealer.
They just told me that I need to replace the radiator, upper and lower
hoses, ac belt, power steering belt and the thermostat.  They said the
lower hose was collapsing due to the vacuum.  Is that normal to replace

Our 2006 Forester was involved in a sort of freak accident--a guy was
hauling a sofa on the highway and it blew off and guess where it
landed--right in front of our car. In any case, the body shop replaced
and re-painted the bumper cover. However, a few weeks later when it was

My condescending dealership says my car is fine, but....
This 2003 Legacy Outback with a 4 cylinder engine appears to have very
little torque below 3500-4000 rpm, at which point it becomes more
drivable.

On my 99 OBW (Gen3), the lightbar across the tailgate takes on significant
amounts of water following heavyish showers or a carwash. The lower half
of the two lamp clusters fills with water and the overflow floods the
inside of the tailgate and the sparewheel well. This has been ...

I'm curious as to how hard it is and what tools are needed to replace radio
hoses and other needed hoses/belts in my OBW?  It's not critical to do now,
but I may want to attempt that later this fall if I have free time.  The
dealership wanted to rape my wallet of $450 for that.  ...

A friend of mine, former service manager for the subaru dealership, has
offered to perform my 90,000 Subaru recommended service for me personally at
a significantly less charge than that of the dealership.  The dealership
charges around $750 for the service.  Even if this guy ...
