I've got a noise that I think is relatively new, and maybe getting a
bit worse. Here are the symptoms:
It sounds like a high-pitched mechanical noise, from the driver's seat
it comes from the right-front. With the radio on I can't hear it, but

02 Forester 2.5L, 120,000 miles.
Lately the AC has been really acting up, it usually works okay when
first turned on at engine idle but as I accelerate the AC is apprently
cutting in and out sporadically to the point where the car runs very

Just put a new radio and antenna in my '98 Legacy Outback, and I'm a
little annoyed to find that the power antenna deploys whenever the
head unit is powered on, even if I'm just using it to listen to a CD
or mp3 (got one of those fancy units with a built-in SD card reader).

So I decided to pull the head off my wife's 99 forester and rethread the
stripped spark plug hole (knowing that if I messed it up I could still pull
the head off the old engine thats been sitting in my garage for a cuppa
years.

I'm looking for a few proud Subaru owners here in the Land of
Enchantment to be featured in an article. esp. desired are somewhat
older models, but anyone will be considered. Customizations should
skew more towards Rallysport/racing applications. Meaning FAST.

My 'AT Oil Temp' light began flashing a few days ago.  I found a way to retrive a diagnotic trouble code from the TCM online.  The problem is that I have no idea what to do with the code?
The code is '24' (two long blinks, four shorts blinks).
Any idea where I can find out what ...

Our 2003 Subaru Outback is overheating, however when I opened the
hood... the overflow tank for the coolant was full to the top and
spilling over some.
Any idea what could be going wrong here?

One of the very few minor beefs I have about my '05 OB 2.5i is that
the little green turn signal indicators in the dash are quite hard to
see particularly in bright sun.
Has anyone tried adding a clicker of some sort to give an audible

My wife's 1999 Forester was bought in the fall of 1998.  It has 40,088 miles
on it.  (And that includes one trip from Virginia to Utah and back, 6,000
miles right there.)  She makes lots of short trips.
The manual says to change the timing belt at 105,000 miles or 105 months.  

Hi gang,
My 98 Legacy L auto AWD has the front passenger inner CV boot torn.  It's
very recent - within 500 miles as I had just inspected this area last
weekend.  Joint itself is not making noise (yet) So the questions are...

Be Safe in the Surf
Australian beaches are magic - they're clean and big and free ... but
they can also be very dangerous. Here are some basic precautions to
help you enjoy your time at the beach:

Hi! Does anyone know what the voltage needs to be for the two black
wires going to the heating element in the front oxygen sensor?
What is the operating Voltage between the Black wires and ground?
I have one wire giving 12V but the other gives 2.85V :-(

So, I picked up a "Pro Choice Performance Module" for my car, because
I've been a little disappointed by its pickup.  I had a hard time
believing the claims the seller made, but I figured that for what I
paid, even if it did nothing at all, I was only out twenty bucks.

We have a 2003 OBW with the infamous wind noise problem coming from
the driver's side window. I printed off the instructions for tearing
apart the door and adjusting the glass, but DH was wondering if
putting on side window vents/deflectors would work to eliminate it?

I have a question about IIHS crash test results for the Outback - there
aren't any published. However, there're results published for the Legacy.
The Legacy Frontal offset test results page doesn't say anything about the
Outback.
