According to Subaru, it's not a "flasher", it's a "Turn Signal and Hazard Unit". (love those engineers). My manual says to remove the glove box and then the glove box frame. Disconect the unit connector and remove three screws that hold it to some bracket. It's in there someplace next to the Illumination Control Unit. Sorry I haven't done this repair so I can't vouch for the directions. Doesn't look like the typical flasher can from the poor illustration.

Don’t be embarrassed. Did that work? I went through fits when it happened to me. My wife pointed out the switch after reading the manual. I don’t need no stinking manual!

That was my point. I agree 100% WITH YOU. If "you" get all the "freebees" you're going to pay a huge import tarrif for a SUBARU along with every other tax someone can think of. I don't see anyway around it. Plus you'll probably have to meet more stingent air pollution requirements.

For about $7.50 you can drain and replace with the proper amount and not worry. Or, suck some out the dip stick tube. Sorry, I don't know if 1qt XS will hurt.

If I'm reading this right, it's an '03 new to you? You just discovered why the other guy sold it. Start off with a tune up and then a complete engine diagnosis. Good Luck.

Ya, but you get free health care in Canada.

I think Autozone has fuzzy dice and Playboy logos. Cool!

Is it stiff? If so: Try lubricating the hinges and everything else you can see with WD40 or some penetrating oil. If that helps, re-lube everything with white lithium grease.

If you're going to do the job, you may as well go the extra mile. When you push in the piston, open the bleeder screw and bleed out the xs fluid at the wheel. DON"T PUSH IT UP into the system and ruin a $1000 ABS pump. When you're done cleaning up and lubricating what should be lubed, don't just bleed the brakes, replace all the fluid by bleeding, adding, bleeding, adding, etc. ALL WHEELS. Don't let moisture contaminated fluid ruin a $1000 ABS pump, valve body.or calipers. Good Luck.

Sounds like a flawed component in the secondary high voltage circuit. Start by using a hair dryer to dry off the spark plug wires, coil, and igniter. Some people might use WD40 (water displacent, 40th try) to accomplish the drying. See if it will start then.If it does, lightly mist all the components with water in a dark area and look for any arcing. This should lead you to what's wrong. Most likely just the plug wires, maybe a cracked coil pack. Everyone have a good Easter!

Wear safety glasses and hearing protection if you try it yourself. I would suggest you get a pro for this job and full documentaion (proof) of the repair.

You need to calculate your mpg by filling the tank and doing the math. You're lucky the fuel gauge works at all. Mine's been dead a long time. A lot of posts about non-functional or unreliable fuel gauges here. Try a search.

Here's what happens. Subaru puts on a good handling tire at the factory and puts in a 130 mph speedometer to let you know you have a high performance sports car. When replacement time comes, people don't want to spend the money for H speed rated tires and say they don't drive 130 mph anyway. The tire dealer puts on T's rather than loose the sale. The car owner doesn't keep air in them and one blows out at 50 mph when they're drunk and causes an injury. Some lawyer says the car was designed to go 130 mph and the dealer is a tire expert and should have put back on H rated tires.So, the dealer and tire maker get sued and pass on the cost to other tire buyers. Everyone is now happy. Some states (Maine for example) either have laws or want laws to make people put on the same tire size and speed rating. (got to protect the voters). Better profits for the tire guys by the way. Other dealers may make you sign a waiver if you want lower speed rated tires. In my opinion, the bottom line is you won't get the same high performance traction rating (AA) and the handling won't be as crisp. The average driver won't notice it and will be happly with the greatly improved treadwear. Learn about traction, temperature, and treadwear ratings and look at several websites and Consumer's Reports for good recommendations. Keep air in your tires. My '91 2.2 130 hp came with H rated tires. Subaru give me a break. Hard for this car to get out of its own way.

I just couldn't see the white walls in some shots.

I agree with your assesment of flooding. Holding down the accelerator dumps xs gas. Could your injectors be leaking down overnite causing a "flooded" condition? Somebody jump in here. Hook up a pressure gauge overnite?

Frag. I wouldn't know about anything new.

Nice car but keep your day job. Did you change tires in between shots?

Integrated Mark IV tracking device?

!

Gas costs the same everywhere in the world. It's a commodity. Europeans just pay about $4.33 in TAX per gallon, presumably for a better society. I can live without that. Go ANWR!

Try looking at auto parts websites and see if the same part numbers come up.

Are you getting a warning light? Does it work? Are these fittings able to be tightened with an 1/8 turn of a flair wrench? ABS pumps are relatively, hell no, very expensive.

I was just stating my opnion which is held by at least a few other people. I could have bad mouthed the 500, or the Potenza, or talked about all the people that died in their Firestone/Bridgestone Explorers. But I didn't. Just because you don't like 'em, doesn't make Tire Rack, CReports, and everyone else wrong. Try the Triple Tread and see what you think. Everyone else seems to like them according to the feed back I read and dealers I've talked with.

Thanks Edrach. Makes sense now.

Hey, what's with this new feedback rating? Is it to chastise dumb questions or dumb answers? Has anyone used it? Folks, we're not on E-Bay. Any question or comment is a good one here at the Ultimate Subaru Message Board.
