cal_look_zero Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Got myself an 05 to commute in. 102k, about to do the 105k this weekend.Things that are wonky with it:Rear cupholder won't close apparently.Passenger seat heater is non opWindshield sprayers are weak and dribble instead of spray.Not too much to complain about, but I wouldn't mind fixing everything. Other than those items, it's a solid car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O.C.D. Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Seat heaters are among THE hardest things to fix on these cars. I am not afraid of anything on a Subaru but the heaters are a HUGE job, HUG!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Your best friend will probably be Subaruoutback.org, though there is a fair amount of info on those floating around here as well. Seat heaters as long as the heat pad isn't cracked should be a relatively easy fix. Heat pads take a lot of time, and a pair of hog-ring pliers.

Suzam Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Heck, I'd let the passenger freeze. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal_look_zero Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 I'm guessing it's the "trigger wire" and should be an easy fix after lurking on subaruoutback. The cupholder I'm not terribly concerned about. The sprayers probably need to be blown out.I am glad I bought a base model with manual HVAC; means I can stick an aftermarket deck in with minimal hassle.

Rooster2 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 When I have trouble with the squirters dribbling out fluid, I use a pin, as in a pin from a new dress shirt. Poke the end of the pin into the squirter hole, and move it around a bit. Doing that loosens up, and gets rid of the crud that is causing the trouble. Hope this works for you.
