Hello, It's getting hotter now and when I turn on the AC it only blows not very cool air. In addition when I press AC button I can hear it kick in, but for the first 30 seconds it makes strange kind of ticking sound that disappears later. This sounds like a leaf in the vent. Is this some easy fix like adding $20 AC refrigerant from Walmart or something more serious? The car is out of warranty. Thanks!

I've decided to get the Frozen Rotors ($230.) from TR and have a local shop put ceramic pads ($89.) on w/ a lifetime guarantee - only $45. labor to replace. That way I'm pretty well covered. Local shop said the Frozen Rotor option is becoming popular with in-the-know Outback owners trying to avoid the warped rotor syndrome. And they mentioned I should go with the ceramic pads with those rotors. Hope it works... Thanks again for steering me toward them! Ralph |

Replying to: dchisholm (May 09, 2006 12:27 pm) Perhaps some of the dealers are conditioned to look at this problem, and not beyond it. On dedicated forums there are not routine postings of electrical problems like you describe, which sounds on the face of it like a loose connection. |

I have a 2001 VDC for the long weekend before signing all the papers to make it mine on Tuesday. Any specific things to look for or be aware of? 84K miles. Thanks.

| Hi again. 2001 H6 VDC. This intermittent problem of having both ABS and VDC lights come on simultaneously is more and more frequent. I went to a dealer tonight and the error code on the machine read as follow: "72: ABNORMAL YAW RATE SENSOR OUTPUT (LATEST) (1800)." The dealer didn't have a clue. They don't repair VDC systems often. They had to refer to the Subaru Canada Head Office in Toronto. No news yet. Is there anybody on this planet who has nay idea of what is wrong with the system? Is there only a small short circuit in the wiring? If so, whre o I start to look? Is the problem coming from the ABS or the VDC system? Anyone got a clue? In the beginning, when those two lights went on, I used to shut down the engine and on re-start they didn't light for about a week. But now, they go on every day... Tricky question, no? | |

Replying to: swbo101 (Jun 05, 2006 6:37 pm) Call 800-SUBARU3 to open up a case file. They will help track the case. They usually bring in a regional manager for tougher issues like yours. The case just helps you track it better, and makes sure you're getting all the help you need. -juice
