Good morning:
An odd thing this morning: it was a very cold night (-20C), and when I
started my Subie this morning, the temperature gauge indicated the engine
was warm more quickly than I would have normally expected. I got out of the

How do I release the pressure in the gas line before replacing the
filter?
Thanks

I blew the cigarette lighter's fuse by plugging in a bad adapter in a 2002
impreza wrx.
The main fuse box is on the driver side under the hood, but that is not
where the blew fuse is. I believe it is in a separate fuse box, but I can't

When I last left you all, I had, once again, had problems with rough running
engine. On my way to work, it was so bad I drove car into dealership
instead. They looked at it, diagnosed a need for an "evap vent". OK...
$250.00. But installing this caused problems with the wiring ...

My 1999 OB 2.2 has lost efficiency.  On the highway at the speed limit
it used to get 30 mpg.  Now it is only 24.  That's serious!
Back in 1950, I would change the plugs, the condenser, and the points,
and adjust the timing with my trusty strobe.  Nowadays I have no clue.

I took my 02 Forester to the dealer to have a broken axle boot replaced.
I also asked them to check an overflow of the power steering fluid tank
that splattered fluid all over the front of the engine. I found that the
 cap on the PS fluid reservoir was loose.

HI, I've owned older BMW's for years, including a high mileage 88 325 ix
(240k). I have started to look at replacing it with a 1995-99 Subaru
Outback wagon. Is there a check list out there of things I should know
about when inspection one of the cars? Any model year to stay away ...

1997 Subaru AWD wagon, "L" model, basic car. Replaced coolant and
thermostat and ran car static for an hour at a time about 3 times. Would
initially overheat (when I replaced the coolant), cold air coming from the
heater, then heat started coming from the vents and the guage went ...

Today in extreme cold weather my son totalled his Subie.
Total write off with serious frontal damage. Wondering how come air bag
did not pop?! Looking for a upgrade to WRX(not STi version). Any
comments/suggesions on couple years old WRX? Can't afford brand new.

Got it home and son started driving this week.
IMO, it's better than '08. Having Nokian WRi tires/rims
installed on coming Saturday. Will chuck the OEM Potenza
tires when spring comes. Any suggestions for summer tires for this car?

And... only a week or so later.... the *&^&*&! check engine light has come
on again tonight.
I could scream in frustration!

    I've been a Honda enthusiast for the past 10 years. I haven't
been happy that the Accord is now larger than some SUVs and the Civic
which would be my ideal size is too ugly with the two tiered dash to
try to like it.

I AM DISSAPOINTED SUBARU!!!
I've had my 2004 Forester for 4 years now. 87,000km.
I've driven Subarus since 1986. Here's my experiences with
the Forester to date:

I recently bought a Legacy Outback sedan, the 3.0R, having been told
that it had Vehicle Dynamics Control, but now I'm starting to wonder.  
Reading the owner's manual, I see that there is supposed to be a VDC
light that comes on when you start the car, to indicate that VDC is

I just had an oil change done on my 2003 OBS.  The mechanic made sure
to mention that my timing belt was due, but also mentioned that the
engine was noisy (lifters.)
In the factory timing belt service, do they adjust lifters?  The
