Does any one know the cost for a 200,000 km service. Several quotes have
been between $750.00 to $800.00, and that's here in Australia. I have also
been told it will take 5 or more hours, any hints on what they actually do
??

We have a dark blue Forester. We had some scratches repaired on the
rear quarter panel, and after repair I complained to the body shop that
in direct sunlight I could see a pattern reflecting left by the buffing
machine. They said they could polish this out. They did, I guess, but I

My new/used Outback is going through a quart of oil about every 2000 miles.
This sounds about normal to me.  What say you?  The engine has about 35k on
it.
Thanks.

Where is a good place for Subaru parts? On line? Specific parts shops? I'm
collecting parts for an engine OH.

I have a 1991 Legacy sedan with around 116,000 miles on it, and the
check engine light recently came on. After hooking up the test
connector, I was able to make the light flash DTC 22 at me, indicating,

Took delivery on a heavily discounted '06 5Pass Tribeca Ltd the other
day and was playing around with burning mp3's onto disc to playback in
the Tribe. Well it does play them quite well however I cannot seem to
have the folder titles show up in the menu navigation.

My 1999 Forester's turn signals and hazard lights fail to work about 90% of
the time. There are times when I engage one of the switches (R turn, L
turn, or Hazard) and just leave it on, and after a varying period of time
(~2 - 5 minutes) the appropriate lights will begin to flash.

I'm going to yank the engine out of my 94 Legacy and overhaul it. 100,000
miles, blown head gasket, still runs but overheats. I'm looking for specific
do's and don'ts, things to do, things to watch out for. I worked as a
mechanic for years, still have all my tools, and have been ...

My car stereo was just stolen and in the process the majority of my
consol/dashboard was ripped out.  I own a 1997 Impreza Outback.  I was
wondering if anyone could tell me where to get cheap dashboard/consol
parts, either on the internet or in/near oakland/berkeley.

Looking at getting this rig, however, there is a slight tick in the engine,
particular when you rev it up.
Is this something I should be concerned with?

I'm trying to find out what this component of the air intake is called

I took my '02 Impreza (80K) to a non-Subaru mechanic to have the front
brake pads replaced. He said that the screws holding the pads are too
tight, and that if the screws break, he will have to replace the
calipers as well (an additional $500 from my pocket). I tolf him to

94 Legacy 2.2L. just have the engine oil changed and the seal cap under the
engine replaced because of rust. Then check engine light on after drived for
about 10~15 minutes.  What's the problem? Can anyone give any idea?
thanks,
