nedro Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 I asked the parts guy when I picked up the outback a couple of weeks ago. He had no clue. Stevens Creek Subaru is where I bought it from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahDL88 Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Try the service guy, they seem to try and make you happier than the parts guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svxpert Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 FHI publishes the service manuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedro Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 I tryed looking them up on the web with no luck. Seems Subaru has doen a great job of keeping their manuals off the internet, essentially cornering the market on their newer manuals.

Dr. RX Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 The parts guy is pulling your chain, he should know what the part numbers are to these manuals and be able to look them up for you, sounds like he just doesn't want to take the time, or doesn't know where to look. There will probably be 8 separate books for the Factory Service Manual (FSM), prices will range from $25 to around $100, the whole set will cost around $500 (pure guess). I have a newer set, but there were a lot of changes in 2005, so some will be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yohy Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Legacy777, Since http://techinfo.subaru.com limited the downloads to 20 PDF's per hour, it sucks to try to download 700-800 files to get the complete manual. I spent the entire subscription period running back and forth to the computer every hour downloading my 20 file limit. My feelings is they are driving folks to the pirated versions available versus legal acquisition. I downloaded two manuals prior to the hourly limit and was pleased, now with my recent experience, I doubt if I would put myself through that misery again. Again, my $.02.
