#17988 of 18373 Windshield Film Issue by kwunschel Feb 02, 2009 (6:35 am)
I have an 08 Impreza Outback Sport. Started having a problem in the cold weather with a film on the inside of the windshield that has to be constantly wiped off even while driving. Defrosters don't work. The dealer couldn't find a source of the problem and I've seen othe sites with owners having the same issue. Anyone else have this problem?

Replying to: kwunschel (Feb 02, 2009 6:35 am) Yes there is a TSB recently posted in the 2009 Forester thread about this. The problem is oil retained in the rubber door seals within the heating system. The oil will eventually be volatilized but it takes some time. In extreme cases Subaru can replace the seals.   You can remove the film with either Stoner's Invisible Glass or Megiuars glass cleaners. Regular windex-type cleaners won't remove those films.
#17990 of 18373 H4 #3 a weak spot ?? by kurtamaxxxguy Feb 02, 2009 (7:56 pm)
On another Edmunds topic, several comments rose that the turbo engine's #3 cylinder, being close to turbo and exhaust piping, runs very hot and suffers from rod failures. Is this true? Isolated cases? Specific year engines ?   Having read about these after market heat shields that keep heat away from other engine parts (and apparently keep it within the turbo), do these make any difference? And can the shield itself raise turbo temperatures to where the turbos fail faster?   Just curious...am making sure my '09 XT stays healthy.

Replying to: kwunschel (Feb 02, 2009 6:35 am) I have an 04 Outback Sport, under the heater/A/C guages is a slide switch for the interior circulation. One side indicates outside air and the other indicates inside circulation, when running the defrosted this swith needs to be on the left side letting outside air in. Try it. It worked for me.

Replying to: xwesx (Dec 05, 2007 1:32 pm) I finally starting taking the engine apart. Started last night and hit a road block. I need a Torx bit to remove the camshaft. But the work is going well. About 30 more minutes of work then I can get the head off and see the problem. I plan on taking it to a machine shop tomorrow (after getting the bit).

#17995 of 18373 Re: 02 Outback gas smell after cold start [green_ob] by pathtomax Feb 04, 2009 (9:56 am)
Replying to: green_ob (Jan 31, 2009 11:25 am) Did you get a resolution on this yet? I have posted this same type of message in regards to my '01 Outback. Mine has 125k and has had this same problem intermittently for a few years. My local dealer never had a resolution and someone on this forum made a great point.   The choke opens up too much in our colder areas and releases this smell. I live in NH and this occurs on those very cold mornings and actually, today, as it was 20 degrees outside.   I just live with and tell my passengers to prepare for it Replies to this message: samiam_68 (Feb 04, 2009 4:55 pm) green_ob (Feb 04, 2009 8:30 pm) gaspasser2 (Feb 05, 2009 7:57 pm) gaspasser2 (Feb 14, 2009 12:22 pm)

Replying to: pathtomax (Feb 04, 2009 9:56 am) But... fuel injected cars don't have chokes.

Replying to: pathtomax (Feb 04, 2009 9:56 am) Picked up the car last night. Left it outside for the day (~25 degrees) and no gas smell on the drive home ! It'll be colder tomorrow so I'll keep my figures crossed.   I left it over night at the dealer so they check when it's cold.
