  1. Engine & Drivetrain
    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...
  2. Head Gasket Issues
    Hey all. I have a 2012 Outback with 173k miles that just had the head gasket go out. The cost of the fix (quoted $2900) isn’t much more than the car is worth for private sale and I’ve already put $500 in for a 200 mile tow and a diagnostic. I’m hoping to sell the car as-is but I have no idea how...
  3. Lighting, Electrical & Electronics
    The OEM cargo area overhead LED assembly came with a weak/inconsistent, switch. In "door" or "on" positions, the LEDs wouldn't turn on without tapping it. Removing the outermost face plate exposes the subassembly which holds the circuit board in place. It is worth mentioning the whole...
  4. Gen 4: 2010-2014
    I bought a 2014 OB manual transmission back in October at just 63,000 miles, clean title, service history done with Subaru, bought from a Subaru dealership. Months go by without any issues, except for the ever-so-often low oil light showing up in the display. I kept topping it off, until I...
  5. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    (Preface: I am new to the forum having found it looking for help on this issue... I hope this is the right place to post this) I own a 2018 Subaru Outback Premium, at approximately 58000 miles. I recently noticed water leaking through to the head liner at the top of the A pillar. It appears to...
  6. 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...
  7. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    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...
  8. Engine & Drivetrain
    Hi Y'all I am looking for advice on fixing my 2008 Subaru Outback, currently with 159,000 miles on it. I just replaced the shocks last year, and got it a new catalytic converter two years ago. It also has new tires, and generally has been an incredibly reliable car until this past week. While I...
  9. Gen 4: 2010-2014
    I have a 2010 Subaru Outback with some 207k on it, and naturally, living in the midwest, I have rust starting to form. I bought the car used back at 90k, and I am finally getting around to some Fluid Film and arriving to do some maintenance on my own. I noticed some hard white undercoating had...

    Hi folks, just bought a 2015 outback limited 2.5i this past week. Took it out on a climbing trip on some rough roads here in western mass and the parking brake warning light started flashing. Stuck my head under and saw that the bolts that mount the rear driver's side brake caliper were...
  11. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    I've got a 2005 Legacy Wagon with few small rust holes around the rear wheels. Besides that the car looks great. I can see small paint touch ups from the previous owner, it looks like it was well kept. However, I live in the Midwest and the salt roads are taking their toll. I've already done...
  12. Gen 2: 2000-2004
    In 2015, I bought a used Subaru Outback Wagon nearing 115,000 miles for about $5K. It's 2022, and it's at 150,000 miles. I'm the second owner of the car and in 7 years I've put only 35K miles on it. I knew that a 15 year old car (at the time of purchase) would be needing some replacements/...
  13. Gen 3: 2005-2009
    I have a 2009 outback with 173,941 miles on it. A dealership has told me that all of the following repairs need to happen, and I'm wondering whether it sounds crazy to do $6676 of repairs on a car that carmax is offering me $2800 for? I'm pretty inclined to just sell it and get into something...
  14. Gen 4: 2010-2014
    I have a 2012 limited with 200k miles. It has internal engine issue and the engine needs to be rebuilt or replaced. Replacing it with a good condition used engine is coming out to $4,500 ish. It has been well maintained over the years and other than that is in really good condition. I have...

    Need to replace heads on my 02 outback, wondering what I should get. Been looking at kits, but have heard multiple -&+'s about them. Was thinking about going with fel-pro. Just wondering what everyone's opinions are.

    Bought my 2019 outbackfrom Carmax knowing it had these issues. Wondering if its work 950$ to pay an autobody repair place to fix it. 1. Door does not sit flush on driver side. Water/ice gets through. (My most likely guess is previous owner locked keys in car and had someone pry open to unlock)...

    ---- 1999 Subaru Legacy Outback 2.5L H4 AWD Automatic ---- Hey all!! This is a car that sat for 2 years outside in Montana and its my camper project. To be clear I haven't started this car in 2 years. I'm taking every preventative measure that I know of before I start this thing so I don't...

    The car: 2001 Subaru Outback 2.5L automatic, Limited edition, 217k miles Hello, all! I became a lurker to this forum in September as I'd just bought this car--and WOW what a forum it is, holy smokes--but man I wish I didn't need to post about my new-old car so quickly. :cry: The backstory...
