Hi I have a Subaru Forester 2003. The check engine line came on and I
finally diagnosed the problem with an X431 Scanner. It gave me a P0118
code meaning Engine Coolant Temp. Sensor Circuit High. What does that
mean?

Both of my kids drive 2000 Impreza RS. Boy's one is souped up.
Thinking about getting a PC(notebook) based OBD II software.
I already have ELM serial interface box.
Any suggestions/recommendations of which is good one to purchase?

The rear brakes on my 99 Legacy Outback are barely working.  They are
disc brakes and the first clue was the brake pedal is very soft and
needs pushing a long way to get much braking.  The second clue was I
raised up the back of the car and even with someone pressing on the

I have about 600miles on the Imp 2.5i 5M and haven't been babying it,
though trying not to rev it too high yet. Started with a full tank and
added some gas here and there and rough figuring it looks like 30mpg,
which I doubt. Though I've put a good bit on on highways, I haven't

I'm looking at a 90's Legacy wagon, 335,000 miles (!!) but nice engine and
trans, but has a habit of intermittantly stalling out 20 minutes after
fully warming up.
The car is in decent shape, the trans was recently replaced (although with

The radio dial light has gone out and I would like to replace the
bulb.  However, I cannot figure out how to get the radio out (2000
Outback, P120) and cannot find a replacement bulb listed on the
internet.  I wonder if the inability to find a replacement bulb

I'm a bit disapointed in the ability of my 2005 Outback 2.5i with MT
to start out on a steep hill.  I notice that it seems especially
hesitant to start if the wheels are on a low traction surface.  It
almost feels like the car is putting all of its energy into working

It's different than any car I have started driving before. Subtle
changes in seat position, and tire pressures seems to have helped a
lot, making it easier to drive and shift smoothly, and getting the
ride to my liking.

The inside of my new Impreza seems to attract anything that is
airborne, and there was a coating on the inside of the windows  that
was impossible to get off with window cleaner till I Spit on the rag.
Learned that trick when following a sooty Semi in a drizzle at dusk,

Have a 2003 LL Bean Outback  3.0
Seems like the seat heater has only a low and high switch no off
position.
Here in California I really don't need a seat heater, any way shutting

...I thought you guys might like to see a pic of my car.
Thsi is from last year's trip to the track. I'm going again this
saturday with my new springs.

Hi, all.
A part of a previous post we never really got to discussing... when I
first got the car, brake pedal was quite tight and firm. Barely had to
press it down for the brakes to engage.

On my new Forester 2.5XT, I have 215/55R tires. They squeal when going
around corners moderatly. I haven't pushed it yet as the engine isn't
broken in yet (600 miles do far). I went around the same corners at the
same speed with my '91 Jeep and the tires didn't squeal. Anyone ...

what is so protective about wheel locks, when anyone can buy the took
to take them off at the same place you do? If they see what type you
have, they would just have to go buy the set. It would make it a
Little more trouble. I Guess that is the protection.

how stiff are they? I washed and waxed my 2.5i today and tried to
bounce the car, and could hardly move it. How stiff are the WRX and
STI? Must not even budge.
