Replying to: xwesx (Oct 20, 2008 8:03 am)  I know with these crazy numbers flying around, $850 seems like peanuts. But I will find it hard to stomach the $850 on top of the $4600, if it's all for naught. Does anyone know if it's possible, or even worth it, to find out who the original owner of the car was? Then maybe I can contact them and find out if they were honest with the dealer about an engine issue, and then the dealer was dishonest. But if the original people abused the engine and didn't originally confess that to the dealer, then they're not going to admit it to me either. Also, I had a CarFax report done, and it didn't show any accidents or rebuilt anything. Can things be hidden from CarFax?  --This should be the symbol of my existence for now.

Replying to: tanager (Oct 20, 2008 8:52 am) The only thing that carfax will show is something that hits its DMV or, I think, insurance records. So, yes, there are many things that can happen to a car that would not show up there.

Pulsing in my brakes (06 Forester) suggests that the rotors may need to be resurfaced and I was told by the dealer that this is covered under the warrantee. Two months ago my local mechanic checked my brakes and said that the pads were ok.(worn about 40%) So if the rotors are resurfaced can I still use the old pads or should I replace with new pads? I do not want to spend unnecessary $$ Opinions?

First off a big hello to all the old members... I haven't been on the board for some time. I am about to embark on a 5,500 mile road trip in my 2001 Legacy GT wagon. Everything has been great with the car. Should I go ahead and have the timing belt done now ahead of schedule? Brakes are original but pads amazingly still look okay. I do occasionally notice a little pulsing that likely means a warped rotor. Should I do brakes and if so all new rotors? Along with oil, filters, plugs, cooling flush is there any other maintenance I should do? What is the current thinking on plug brand and type? Thanks to all. bit |

Replying to: originalbitman (Oct 27, 2008 12:59 pm) I'd also get the timing belt done too, can't hurt to get it done ahead of schedule, and it would suck to have to get it done on the trip. -mike Motorsports and Modifications Host

Replying to: paisan (Oct 27, 2008 3:46 pm) My dealer is doing the timing belt and the mechanic says I should do water pump while I am at it. What's the life expectancy of the pump?

Hiya, We have a 2009 Subaru Legacy Limited with just about 2500 miles on it. Recently, the TPMS light has been coming on. I figured that this is most likely due to the change in air temperature lately as the fall air turns from cool to cold, and we're starting to see frost. I took the Legacy to the gas station about a tenth of a mile away and filled the wheels to the specifications outlined in the Owner's Manual (we have the Yokohamas) and the light remained on. I didn't put more air into it - yet - because I didn't want to exceed the PSI listed on the sidewall. I called Subaru Service and they said that as you drive, the wheels will warm up, and the light should go out. They've mentioned if it does not go out after 3 days to schedule a service appointment. Has anyone else heard of any issues with the TPMS? My aunt had an issue with the sensor on her Nissan and she has told our family countless horror stories of having to go back to the Nissan dealer dozens of times before they'd actually fixed it.
