  1. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    Hey I've got an 01 h6 legacy outback like the title says... car was running great and then one night I take off to the store and get like a block and a half away from my place and it randomly died... tried to start it and was a crank no start situation. Got it coasted back to my spot and the...
  2. Gen 2: 2000-2004
    Long story short: I had plans to manual swap my Gen2 H6 Outback. And when I say plans, I mean I acquired every single part on this list over about six months - a combination of new and used parts that came out to a total of $3,009.79 (if you must know). I did not proceed with the swap, and...
  3. Gen 2: 2000-2004
    Heyyo, a couple weeks ago my 01 Outback Bean blew its engine and I ordered a new EZ30d to replace it. I ordered from JDMWestside off Ebay. It looks fine for the most part, I pulled the plugs and they look like better then the ones I have already. But it looks like it's covered in salt I'm...
  4. Gen 2: 2000-2004
    Hello all, Been trying pinpoint what's causing my '01 Outback with the H6 to overheat. Some background: I bought the car with 146k on it in 2021. The small dealership that I bought it from said they rebuilt it, it's what they do with all their cars apparently. Kinda weird to go through all the...

    Heyyo, I was sitting in my car (2001 Outback L.L Bean) with it in park in a parking lot when I get these three codes from a check engine light without actually hearing/noticing anything from the engine. I had an OBD2 reader to check it immediately, but I didn't hear anything from the engine...
  6. Gen 2: 2000-2004
    I have a 2003 Subaru outback H6 3.0. Transmission went out a few months ago. Just found a 2002 Subaru outback H6 3.0 in a junkyard and I went to see if it was still there. Can I put the 2002 transmission directly into a 2003? I don't believe I have a VDC. I know the transmissions do vary by 1...

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tmY3Wa5mcT4hjgR6Z3S8LgMCMd6sO8R6/view?usp=drivesdk Here’s everything I know about this issue I’m dealing with: 2006 Subaru Outback L.L. Bean (the H6 engine, has a slightly different power steering system than the h4 models) with 204,000 miles. I’ve been...
  8. Gen 3: 2005-2009
    2005 Subaru Outback 3.0R Sedan, 150,000 miles This issue started about 2 months ago. My Cruise Control kicks off at the top of EVERY hill on the interstate, then CEL flashes for about 5 seconds and goes out. Once the road levels out, I can resume using Cruise Control. When I put the reader on...
  9. Outback Unpaved
    Pontoontodd on youtube: "...The Vegas to Reno is the longest point to point off road race in the US. In 2021 it was 490 miles entirely off pavement. We paced ourselves better that year than on past attempts and were able to finish within the time limit (17 hours 40 minutes, time limit 19...

    Subaru outback H6. I see a mechanized hole in the top of the manifold and I don´t know exactly the function. Is perhaps a vent of the induction control valve or perhaps I have a mixed cap producing a lost of vacuum at iddle?
  11. Gen 3: 2005-2009
    UPDATE SEPT 2023: after all this, the HG is breeched, have put in a full gallon of coolant in under 2 months (maybe 3,000 miles max?). And none of it it's leaking, it's all combustion. Starting a new thread to discuss if it's worth putting any more money into it. very sad. Some more detail here...
  12. Suspension & Brakes
    I'm looking for wheel/tire fitment info for a 2008 3.0L ... does it need to have 17" wheels? (I heard the 3L has larger brakes, but that might be in Gen 4 or 5 only). I'm running stock 17x7J alloy wheels w/ 225/55 winters + summers, but have a 2006 2.5i i'll be scrapping for parts that has 2...
  13. Oil, Oil Filters, and Fuel Discussion
    I couldn't find a thread specific to my car / questions, so starting a new one... 2008 3.0L outback with about 140k miles. It's consistently given me around 22 mpg. My 2005 2.5i is in the 28–29 mpg range consistently. Is the H6 really THAT much less efficient, on average? This is 90%+ country...
  14. Engine & Drivetrain
    I recently acquired my second 2001 Outback H6 LL Bean, the first's rear suspension chassis succumbing to Wisconsin rust. #2 has 170k miles, though only 75k on engine, 5k on head gaskets and plugs (all claimed). Normal 25+/-mpg, great smooth feel and power in any normal rpm range, but for one...
  15. Forum Rules, New Member Information & Intro.
    My 4th Subaru, 3rd Outback. First “off-road build”. Looking for any cool recommendations y’all have. Definitely in search of some aftermarket ez30 headers but seem to be impossible to source
  16. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    Hey everyone, new around here and relatively new to maintaining a Subaru (properly), let alone cars. Not sure what even to look up, as I've been scouring the internet since this happened. I may not be using the correct terms, my bad. I had an 08 2.5i Legacy before this and the H6 is a different...

    Hi all Do you know what's this buzzing sound coming from the engine when I put the ignition in the ON position? Is this normal?
  18. Gen 2: 2000-2004
    Hi there fam, I've got an '02 H6 with a threatening-to-die transmission (EZ30 eng? E-4AT tran). I've also got a friend with an '02 Impreza transmission that's in good shape. I have no idea if they're swappable. 😅
  19. Head Gasket Issues
    Do you think it would be possible to do the head gaskets on this engine without removing the oil pump or rear timing cover? I am in a bit of a situation, I had this job done by my mechanic a year ago and a year later I am having issues. I took it to a different mechanic and when they pulled...

    Hey guys! I have a 2003 Subaru Outback LLBean edition. Today when I was changing my o2 sensor on the driver's side I noticed what looked like to be an oil leak. I'm not even sure what you would call the part where the oil was dripping out of but I thought you guys can help and give me some...
