Hello all. I have a 1992 Subaru Legacy Station Wagon and it's been
working pretty well up 'till now. It starts just fine and when I shift
into drive the car runs fine. But when I go up a hill, the tachometer
suddenly leaps up to 4 or 5 but the speedometer refuses to go above 25

I just bought an 04 WRX with 50K miles.  Runs great, very tight.
After a tank of gas, the check engine light went on.  The manual (and the
inside of the filler door) says to make sure the cap is on tight.  I
retightened (it didn't seam loose) and after a couple drives, it went out ...

I just noticed this yesterday and although it doesn't seem like a big issue,
I want to run it past everyone here.  When shifting from 2nd to 3rd gears
I've started to notice a very slight bit of 'roughness' just as I shift into
3rd.  The car moves fine, the gears take hold just ...

My 98 GT Wagon has developed a clunky sound coming from the rear right.
This is when crossing recessed manhole covers, minor bumps in the road.
Seems to be more pronounced at lower speeds, too.
What parts of the rear suspension are likely to wear out at 130k miles?

I've never driven an AWD car and i'm considering the Impreza 2.5i wagon
for the AWD.
Does the AWD really make a considerable difference on snow and ice?
(Note - I won't be using snow tires - just all seasons)

Thanks in advance for any help with this.  Friday I drove my car car to
a train parking lot to leave if for the weekend.  When I started it up,
it ran a higher rpm range than I have noticed it doing before but then
backed off.  I figured that it must just be some sort of warming up

Can someone let me know the cross reference for the Subaru Engine Air
filter?  I had seen in a FRAM reference that it's a CA4309. This is
*not* the correct one (not even the same size). I also see that WIX has
an air filter (#46914). FRAM also has a CA9113, but I'm not 100% sure

I replaced the stock radio in my '99 Outback a year or so ago, and it
sounds great. However, while doing a major cleaning last week I noticed
that the subwoofer is silent.
BTW, the sub is a module under the driver's seat, complete with amp and

I have a 1994 Subaru Legacy with the 2.2L engine that, has excessive lifter
ticking on the passenger side. It seemed to occur after an oil change at the
local tire store. Has anyone been through this? All levels are fine, no
leaking, and I can't adjust the valve lash as the ...

I've got an almost 10 yr old 97 Brighton Wagon with 144k mi.  Never
replaced anything in the steering, suspension (or drive train). And as
far as I can tell, don't need to.  Is this unusual, or can I expect
many more miles before something goes?

Just started...
All the lights work fine when the ignitiion is on, but with the
ignition off and key out, whether the light switch is in full on,
parking lights only or full off, the running lights all stay on. The

I purchased a used one with 32,000+ miles in March - automatic trans. I had
owned my Saab 900 for 15 years - too expensive to continue with).
I find the transmission to be less than smooth - annoying. The body seems so
much more cheaply put together than the old Saab. Is this ...

My wife's '03 VDC spewed differential fluid out of the front
differential, thankfully only 20 miles into her cross country trip. She
took it to a nearby lube outfit who were able to tell her that the
transmission fluid was OK, but the differential was down. They topped

Is synthetic oil worth the costs? If so any recommendations?
Would a "hotter spark plug" yield better mileage? if so what
recommendations.

i think I have an oem product installed but there is no door actuator
installed on drivers door.  Anybody know where I can get one?  The
keyless kit is made by seco-larm model number e-100b.  I did get a
manual but kinda vague on the door lock/unlock situation..Trying to
