Replying to: crfozzie (Aug 27, 2008 2:52 pm) A while back I recall that Kate used a bottle of HEET to remove water contamination from the fuel lines, and that helped. Maybe he just got a bum tank of gas. |

Replying to: ateixeira (Aug 27, 2008 9:52 am) Report 1) the catalyst system efficiency for bank 1 (which I guess is cylinder 1) is below threshold for the current engine operating conditions. As one of the probable causes, the report says that it could be a defective catalytic converter. Reports 2) and 3) are the same: that a misfire has occurred in cylinders #3 and #4, for which a probable cause is faulty spark plugs. I plan to replace all four spark plugs and hope that this will do it. Is there anything else that you think I should be doing? Many thanks for all your help with this.

I recently purchased a 2005 forester ll bean edition it is supposed to have a windshield deicer but I have no electric grids at the bottom only a black metal band at the top that appears to run around the entire windshield it this the deicer?

Replying to: for05 (Aug 29, 2008 7:20 am) My guess is the original windshield broke and they replaced it with a cheap one, instead of one with the heater element. If you bought it from a dealer I would take it back and complain. |

Found a sample pic, it should look like this:

Replying to: ateixeira (Aug 29, 2008 8:06 am) My '09 has AWP and my wipers don't rest on the heating element thing; they sit above it...don't seem to be able to move them either. Wondering if it's something I should mention at the next service?

Replying to: mwasnidge (Sep 03, 2008 1:15 pm) Assuming the wiper blades rest somewhere close to the heating elements, I wouldn't worry about it. The heating elements will warm a fairly large area of glass. -Frank

Replying to: p0926 (Sep 03, 2008 11:09 pm) That photo is just a sample, I don't think it's a Subaru. They will melt the whole area around them. Also, if you're pushing slush beneath the wipers, that's just where you want them - to melt the stuff that piles up there.
