    So the water pump went out on my 2008 outback xt. i locked the drivers side cams with the tool assuming, the timing was correct because it ran well. The cams i locked look off a tooth If i align the hash marks on the cams should everything be good? The paint marks are throwing me off, they dont...

    Hi! I recently bought a Subaru outback 2008 2.0 Diesel. The seller said that the side mirror turnsignal needed a replacement. I contacted Subaru and here in sweden they had it in store. The only problem was the price tag. I thought that 140 USD or 138 euro for one turnsignal was a bit pricey...

    First post here but I'm new to DIY so I'll give it a shot. Apologies if there's already a thread for this. I have a 2015 outback with 130k miles. A few months ago I was having some stuttering issues, both at low speeds (15-30) and while cruising on the highway. Brought it to the shop and they...

    Recently, my '16 OB was in a brief coastal flood. While I had it torn apart to dry out and desalinate the interior floorboard, I pulled the rear spoiler off as part of a dashcam install. The spoiler came off with no issues, but the two clips (circled in red and marked with triangles in the image...

    Hi all, I'm putting on new front brakes tomorrow at my friend's garage (pads + rotor kit from Reibung, Canadian-made) First time doing brakes so I'm a BIT nervous.

    To start off, this is my wife’s crosstrek, but it has the tr580, so I figured y’all could be helpful. The other day, it threw codes p0700 and p2763. I’m following Mr Subarus diagnostic and repair videos, but I’m only into the 2nd step of diagnosing the tcc solenoid. I’m reading the bottom left...

  8. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    Hi all, I'm debating taking a step up in my limited mechanic experience and installing my new front strut assemblies myself. On my 2008 H6 LL Bean. I found a mechanic who can install them for me for a decent price (and more importantly lets me bring my own parts), but going to see if I can find...

    Howdy y’all. First post. Just bought my ‘07 LL Bean w/ 228k on it with the goal of making it last to 250+. Already dumped some good cheese into my mechanics doing some fixes and a tune up (gasket valves, all spark plugs, ignition coil 1, starter, fixed some leaks / misfire, and steering / axel...

    So the starter on my 2012 Subaru Outback 3.6R is starting to stick and I want to regrease the entire thing before winter gets here. What is the best grease to use? Should I just use any sort of brake caliper grease or is there something better to use? I only want to do this once and not have to...

    I came across this randomly, but I think I made "sequential" turn signals for about 25 bucks today 😆 video below I did this by replacing the lower turn signal bulb with a cheap led switchback bulb, also wiring a resistor because of hyperflash. I guess because of LED's "instant" effect and...

    My girlfriend has a 2007 outback. She's had it for just over a year. The previous owner replaced the engine with a used crate engine from Japan. Only issues its had is throwing the p0420 code so I replaced the catalytic convertor and that solved that issue. I just picked up the Launch CRP129e...

    All right, I have around 130k on my Outback, and my valve covers have been leaking pretty well. I bought new Felpro gaskets and NGK sparkplugs from Rockauto so I can replace both simultaneously, I am also planning on using grey permatex rtv in the specific spots according to the FSM. Really the...

    I went to go change my front diff oil on my Subaru Outback 3.6r 5eat last week and I ended up chewing the plug up pretty good. I got it broken loose but I want to order a new one before I change the gear oil. Does anyone know the part number by chance?
  16. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    Hello, Hoping to get some pointers here. I have a 2019 Outback 3.6R. My front passenger axle is clicking extremely badly and need to replace it. I am however struggling to educate myself where I should get one. Is it as simple as go to AutoZone and buy one there, or is there somewhere else that...

    Hi, hoping I can get some advice based on others experiences. I have a 2005 OB. The drivers side window switch was broken for a long time, it finally broke stuck in the up position and I assume burnt out the window motor. I have since fixed the button (tiny plastic part that returns switch to...

It’s also showing the “HO2S Heater Control Circuit Low (Bank 1, Sensor 2) code, #P0037. I’ve replaced the gas cap with a brand new...

    I recently picked up my 2012 Outback 3.6r a few months ago, it only has around 130k on it, and overall drives really great. However. I have noticed that ONLY when I am driving through snowy windy conditions on the highway the car will jerk. It is like it will lose power or can't find the right...

    I have a 2000 Subaru Outback limited, key goes into the ignition just fine, won’t turn at all. Tried the steering wheel, jingling the keys and making sure it’s in park. Car is an AT. Assuming it’s the ignition lock cylinder. Since I can’t get the car into ac because the key won’t turn, is there...
