Hi all, My airbag light comes intermittently. The dealer diagnosed it and found Code 26. Their explanation: the light that comes on to indicate the passenger airbag is activated is failing. They said it's just the indicator light so the airbag should still operate, but they could not say 100%...

Appreciate any constructive criticism here: In short, on 1/24/23, I replaced my timing belt, water pump, auto-tensioner and other components included in the Aisin timing belt kit on my 2008 Outback 2.5 AT, 137K miles. I failed to bleed the new NTN auto-tensioner prior to install. I torqued all...

Since it would help me, I thought actual stats might help others decide whether to keep investing. I suspect most Gen3 owners have found their way here by now. My questions… If you are over 200,000 or so, what kind of surprises/issues are you encountering (or tackled)? And who does your work...

Hi all. I’m having an issue that I’d love some input on. I’ll try to make this clear, starting with two possibly relevant details - My OBW is a 2006 2.5i Manual Transmission and I had the front passenger side CV axle replaced a few weeks ago. The Symptoms: When I accelerate, there is a very...

Hello! 3 part question here: What are the tubes going from the bottom of the air intake box on either side down to the engine? See attached images Are these breather hoses? Both are hard as a rock on the engine side and are cracked, with residue around the base. Would this cause issues other...

We've had electric lock problems for the past year or so. First the fuse for the locks blew. I replaced it, and it blew again. Went for a while with only physical key for locking/unlocking, but since this car has no keyhole on passenger nor on rear hatch, this is not a good solution. I replaced...

Hi there! Wondering if anyone would know the best place to buy a new plastic cover for my rear taillight? Also, does anyone know how difficult this is to install yourself? Watching this video, it seems straightforward.

I was(am) changing the gear oil in my front differential, and after draining it, I went to add new 75/90. I took off a filler plug on top that I thought was the filler plug. It had an 8mm hex head. I attempted to pump in the 75/90 and after a couple pumps, with the hose of my transfer pump an...
