#3016 of 3121 Re: Speedodometer failure and low oil [welsasser] by kloson123 Aug 26, 2006 (2:41 pm)
Replying to: welsasser (May 31, 2006 10:03 am) I have a 2005 Forester 2.5X. Its been a great ride so far (~28K miles). I just experienced a similar oil "disappearing" problem. I made a cross-country trek (NV to NY and back) and while on the way back, somewhere in Kansas, my engine/oil light came on. I pulled off the highway at the next exit, stopped at an auto parts store, turned the car off, and let it sit for about 10 minutes. When I checked the dipstick, it was dry. I put it back in, pulled it out, and it was still dry (figured I'd seen a mirage).   I bought two quarts of oil. I put the first quart in, let the car sit for about five minutes, then checked the oil level...the dipstick was still dry. I added another quart, let the car sit for another five minutes, and then checked the oil...the dipstick was still dry. I ended up adding a little over three quarts of oil, to the point where the dipstick level was about halfway between L and H.   When I got back home, I took the car to the dealer and explained the situation to them. They checked for leaks and found none. They did an oil/filter change and I am scheduled to go back to the dealer this Wednesday (8/30/2006) for an oil consumption test. I will post another message when I get the results of that test.

#3018 of 3121 new part order by cityfisher Oct 23, 2006 (9:17 pm)
My 2006 subaru outback sport was hit by someone at night while it was parked in a parking lot. The SOB ran away without leaving anything but some glass on the ground probably from the headlight of his car. The fender of my car is totally destroyed. The bodyshop is going to order a new fender from subaru and put it on. Do you guys have an idea how much the reasonable charge would be and how long this would take. My car is made in Japan, where will the ordered part be shipped from? Japan or Subaru US? Thanks.

Replying to: cityfisher (Oct 23, 2006 9:17 pm) A new fender probably doesn't cost much. My Forester's hood was something like $175 way back when, but it still has to be painted.   Should be $400-500 or so, just a guess.   -juice Replies to this message: cityfisher (Oct 24, 2006 12:26 pm) ateixeira (Oct 24, 2006 12:30 pm)

Replying to: ateixeira (Oct 24, 2006 9:19 am) You mean the fender comes unpainted? I thought they would order a fender with exactly the same paint color from subaru. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Oct 24, 2006 12:30 pm)

Replying to: cityfisher (Oct 24, 2006 12:26 pm) Primed in black is how my parts have come.   I've ordered from on-line wholesalers because you get a better price than a body shop will give you. And the part is OE.   Body shops basically charge retail and keep that markup.   -juice
#3022 of 3121 impreza sport by handigal Nov 27, 2006 (3:00 pm)
Replying to: paisan (Sep 13, 2004 8:55 pm) Just wondering if the 98-01 impreza sport suffered from the same head gasket problems as the outbacks of those years. thanks, carol Replies to this message: xwesx (Nov 27, 2006 3:21 pm)

Replying to: handigal (Nov 27, 2006 3:00 pm) The phase I and II 2.5L engine gaskets were the problem, not the vehicles in which they were installed.
#3024 of 3121 OS rack crossbar removal by stantont May 18, 2007 (4:19 am)
Hi,   My son just bought a '98 Outback Sport, and we want to install Thule canoe racks. How do we get the factory crossbars off? There are two Philips head screws on the bottom of each which appear to hold the bars to the rails, but turning them CCW doesn't do anything - it is as if there is something in the base of the rack turning.   Help!?

Replying to: stantont (May 18, 2007 4:19 am) The factory crossbars should be removable using a small Torx driver from the *top*. Loosening these bolts (one on each side) will open the "mouth" of the clamp and you just pull one side toward the rear or front, then slip the other side out. It is very fast and very easy.
