  1. Yes they weren't cheap, was done at the dealer, also did the timing belt, once it had to come out anyways. But it doesn't leak oil. I have my 90' 740 GLE with 180Kmiles to save on the repairs and mark the driveway. Sub is my wife's and so far has been going to the dealer only, Fortunately - not that much, only for recalls, tires, windshield, and those oil seals. I have only changed oil and filters myself on the Legacy.
  2. Read your message before leaving from work, and tried it on my way home, actually it doesn't. Only while driving at the hiway speed. It makes this noise only if I kickdown with the gas pedal (it's an auto), if I just shift it from D to 3 at around 60 mph it gets to 4k rpm with no sound.
  3. Hello, I'm new to this forum. Nice to meet ya all. I have a 02' legacy GT, about 80Kmiles on it, had it since new, and it has been well behaving since then, never did anything to it myself beyond the oil/filter changes. The rest serviced by the dealer, but now as the warranty expires, i'd have to start learning it. It has recently developed a strange habit: When getting above 3500 rpm - both at hi-way speed, or just revving it at idle, it is making a high-pitch, almost screeching sound, that seem to be coming from transmission, or towards the rear from it. What could that be and how dangerous is it Thanks for the advice, -michael
  4. Hello, I am new to this forum, have had a '02 Legacy GT since new. Almost 80Kmiles on it now, it's been virtually trouble free so far, but it seems that the time is coming for me to start getting my hands on it. And it seems that I should start with the OBDII scanner. A while ago it threw a check engine light because of the gas station attendant didn't properly close the gas tank cap. Was $40 to reset at the dealer, plus the wasted Saturday morning. I see plenty of different OBDII tools offered, but having no experience with it - what is the most prefereable one to work on Subaru? What features to look for? -michael
  5. I have a 2002 Legacy GT since new. Same as Outback, but has a "normal" suspension, rides low as Legacy. There was a recall last year(?) - they added coolant additive, I suspect it was for the headgasket problem. Also had to replace the oil pump seals this year at around $65K - was slowly leaking oil. You could see oil around the oil pan gasket. Otherwise - no trouble, loke the car, could have a bit more umph, and more comfortable seats... PS: Just joined this group, this is my first post. have been looking for a forum like this for a while. -Michael
