    Hey everybody! My wifes 05 outback xt just started to spew oil on top the engine and out of the filler neck. I’ve ordered a new PCV valve as I thought this could be leading to over pressurization. Any other areas or parts I should be looking into? Also this doesn’t happen when it is warm. Only...

    i’ve tried searching around for other forums on this issue, have only seen people trying to put a 00 EJ25 into an 05 outback with an EJ25. I recently just bought an 05 ob with about 90k on the motor from an aunt that was dealing with electrical issues with the security system. I have owned a 00...

    Hey all, I recently bought a 2005 Subaru Outback 3.0R with 162,000 kms. I've noticed that when I start the car, the check engine light doesn't come on with the rest of the dash for the bulb check. I plugged in a code reader and get two codes, P0131 and P0031, both for the bank 1 sensor 1 O2...

    My 2005 OB 2.5i gave me P0303 today. It was being a little sluggish from a dead stop, but once I get the RPM past about 1200, it was fine. I've heard that a bad cylinder will cause it to run rough, but it's not doing that at all, not even at idle. It's only when I hit the gas from a dead stop...

    My CD player in my 2005 has stopped playing CD's, the radio and all the climate controls work and I can still load and eject CD's but it doesn't read or play them. On the display where it usually shows the track and time on the song it's just blank. Is there anyway to fix this or should I just...

    Hi y'all. I own a 2005 2.5i Subaru Outback Legacy w/ 36,000 original miles. I bought the car last year at 24,000 miles. My windows started screeching in the last few months. I took it to the dealership and they said that it is the window felt that is worn down so glass is rubbing on metal and...

    Hey guys, I've got an '05 Legacy with a motor that's going bad, and I found an engine from an '06 Legacy that I was considering swapping. But, from what I understand, the '06 engines have ACVS while the '05 engines do not. Is it going to be a headache trying to put the AVCS engine into my...

  10. Tires & Wheels
    Hi all, have just installed a 40mm spacer lift (1.57inch) on my 05 OB. Now wanting to put AT's on, was thinking of 225/70/R16, was curious if anyone had tried this size tyre before and how much rubbing was there, I'm willing to do a little cutting in the fenders, but obviously the less the...

    Hello, I tried to take a road trip yesterday and after about an hour and a half of driving I noticed my temp gauge was at the top of the red, so I pulled over, poped the hood, turned on the fans & let it cool down. I tried driving back home & the temp gauge was hanging out right before the red...
