Does anyone have a web reference or info on how to replace the clock in an
overhead console in 2002 Forester?

Dear Fellow Subaru Enthusiest
Hi,
Recently I purchased a 2004 Subaru outback and it seems the crusing
RPM is high in comparison to other cars I have owned.

would it benefit or be extra work to wax a car twice? I waxed my car
the other day with Dupont Teflon liquid wax. A few hrs later a guy I
know paste waxed his car, and then pulled out the Dupont stuff and
applied it, and wiped it right off before drying, and said That was

My 07 impreza outback sport has the 240 watt 6 disc stereo.,  I think the
stereo sucks.  I burned an mp3 disx and a WMA disc and even threw in a
regular cd.  The sound quality is poor.  Is there a better setting I can use
to burn the discs?

Apparently the timing belt tensioners from subaru are 100% hydraulic,
and are quite prone to issues, not coming up to tension quickly
enough, and generally being unreliable.  I know mine is about to have
the 6th Subaru timing belt tensioner put in in its 110k mile lifetime

I took my car (2001 Forester) to dealer for 75K service today...they told me
the car engine has problems with head guskets: ~$2,6K repair. Luckily, I
have extended warranty (which will expire in less than 2 months), so I'll
only need to pay $100 deductible.

I have noticed that Subaru and several other AWD manufactures offer
stability control that seems to work only with leather seats (they don't put
it in cars without leather seats).
I am not an engineer and don't understand the details of implementing

I call it Chugging, but at low speeds the car isn't smooth. I read
that the variable valve timing could be the cause, or the drive by
wire throttle. Seems like being in a lower gear which would get the
revs up might help, but haven't tried it yet. I've seen the revs go up

Hi I have a 95 Subaru Legacy, Automatic, 1.8L engine. When I drive the
car there is a clicking noise that sounds like its coming from the
center of the dash or below the drive selector console. The noise is
not present while the car is at idle, just when I begin to drive. As

Do any of you have any tricks to stop an oil drain plug from leaking?
One of the survace guys overtightened it and damaged the thread and now I
can't stop it leaking.
I've replaced the plug & ran a tap through to clean out the thread & now its

I have a 96 Legacy with a 2.2L engine.  It is getting old.  I found a
98 2.2L engine and wanted to know how difficult it would be to install
in my car.  I'm told it's not easy but then again, it's a Subaru
engine and should go in without having to change much, no?  Please let

I was wondering if anyone here has
tried any of the reasonable priced
chips  ('03 Forester) and if so, are
they worth trying?

Is there a difference in performance and handling between the 2008
Forester Sports turbo and the 2008 Forester LTD turbo?
