Replying to: ateixeira (Apr 28, 2008 10:54 am) Thanks for the info..doesn't that seem a little coincidental, I mean the light coming on less than a mile from the mechanics shop after they have been under the hood for a day?

Replying to: shiner50 (Apr 28, 2008 4:53 pm) It's very likely.   I'd still get a scanner. They're quite useful.
#68 of 148 TIMING CHAIN by shiner50 May 04, 2008 (3:06 pm)
I checked with the local dealer as to when the timing chain needed to be replaced on my 03' H6. The dealer told me that the 2.5's needed to be changed around 80-90 k and that I never needed to change out my chain ( H6). Does anyone know the truth about this? thanks.

Replying to: shiner50 (May 04, 2008 3:06 pm) on the H4 engines it's 105k miles for 2000+ year vehicles. on the H6 the Timing chain doesn't need replacement.   -mike Replies to this message: shiner50 (May 13, 2008 5:01 pm)

Replying to: tompaine (Feb 04, 2008 7:33 pm) Have you solved your problem with the P0420 CEL code? I am having the same problem with a 1997 Subaru Outback, 2.5L, with 112K miles. The exhaust system including catalytic converter was replaced in Nov. CEL first came on in March. Gasket between converter and front exhaust pipes replaced. CEL back on after 40-50 miles. O2 Sensor replaced. CEL back on after 40-50 miles. Car runs fine. CEL has gone off a couple of times after filling gas tank but not always. Back on after few miles.
#71 of 148 Preturbed and confused by shiner50 May 09, 2008 (4:57 pm)
I had a local garage replace my a/c compressor, high side line, liquid dryer, and expansion valve. I have had nothing but trouble since. Here is one for you subbie braniacs! Now I am getting a low pitch ( sounds like a low note played on a flute ) sound when I run the a/c. What I just described is what it sounds like from inside the car. I popped the hood and tracked the noise to the low side metal a/c line. It is actually reverberating in a cyclic manner. You can feel it reverberating when you put your hand on it. I have no clue other than some kind of restriction. HELP! SHINER 50 Replies to this message: ateixeira (May 12, 2008 8:40 am)

Replying to: shiner50 (May 09, 2008 4:57 pm) That stinks, sorry to hear it.   I can relate. I had the timing belt changed on my Miata, as well as the water pump, and I swear they retarded the timing because I feel like I've lost 10 horsepower.
