#2082 of 2086 Towing Capacity Q for a 2002 VDC by fraseronly

Jul 30, 2009 (8:47 pm)

Folks, I am interested in a VDC 2002 OB Wagon, can someone confirm what the towing capacity is for that H6 is it 2000 2400 or 3000 ? when does the H6 go up in capacity, I am looking at a 1650lb camping trailer and want to know what my buffer should be. I am considering a trannie fluid cooler too. Anything else I should think about with that much towing. The current one I am looking at has 129k miles on it. When do folks usually change out the chain on the VDC ? thanks for the comments.

Let's see if Bob, our resident towing expert, can chime in on what year the ratings went up. I'm sure he'll remind you that with over 1000 lbs you're supposed to have trailer brakes.
 
I don't think the timing chain has a replacement interval. It should last the life of the engine. Even the belts last 105,000 miles.

Check the owner's manual, as it will be stated in there. My guess is 2000 pounds for a 2002 Outback, and yes, that's if the trailer has brakes.
 
2005 and later Outback H6s can tow 3000 (H4 2700), but again with that trailer brake restriction.

Hi,
 
I am looking for a shop or person that could help me resolve problems with VDC on 2001 Outback Legacy VDC car.
 
The symptom of the problem is the VDC and ABS light comes on. When the diagnostic code is read, it is steer wheel sensor error...
 
Attempts to replace steering wheel sensor, and calibration of sensor was not successfull.
 
Also, the other symptom, is that the VDC turns on when it should not turn on.

#2086 of 2086 Windshield Washer/Mist not working by stoked_seeker

When I try to pull the lever, the Windshield Washer/Mist is not working. However, the washer button at end of the lever is working fine. Anybody got ideas on how to fix this and/or what the cause of the issue may be?
