Does the rear axle on my 2006 outback just slide out of the differential, or is there a pin the needs to be punch out??? Im removing the axle from a parts car and i dont have anything to punch out the pins, ive never done the rear, only the fronts, the hard way of drilling them out. ????
-
What kind of knock? Does it change with speed, cv axles are easy to diagnose. Check the boots, the click upon turning. subaru are known for leaking engines. My current 2006 leaks oil which drips onto the catalyst thus burning, i have to set my heater onto recirculate otherwise i can smell it, my 1996 also suffered this problem. Axle grease burning is a far more wretched smell.
Calm down on replacing the whole "rear end"
Could be wheel bearing or brake caliper
What kind of noise and when and how??
-
Now I have "Airbag" light
Only when car is on
Ugh

In the link fairtax supplied, the technition mikeV explains it's an empty connector that would have something to do with tire pressure. This particular year was not equipped with that option. This empty connector is located in a prime spot for corrosion, it sits under a heating duct on the floor, if anything is spilled on the front corner of the drivers seat it's going to find this open connector
-
That hole was there, looks like the heater ducting a place to emerge from under the carpet
-
YES, FIXED no more flashing ACC light in the instrument display and no more power drain
you can see the corrosion

Ok, I've found no green wire with yellow stripe. There is no empty connectors under the drivers seat. I'm going to check the old seat to see if any thing is different.

After changing my seats and carpet on my 2006 outback The clocks display flashes ACC and then a solid ERR only when the car is off normal function when it's on
-
Found some used carpet in much better shape
Changed the seats, carpet , and now I might do the door panels
But now when the car is OFF the clock blinks "ACC" repeatedly then "ERR" once
I forgot to disconnect the battery before taking the seats out
Anyone one know what this means???
-
Where are the bolts for the rear seats?

I would like to replace my carpet in my 2006 outback 172,000 miles
The fitted carpets are too pricey
Just wondering if anyone has any tips on type of carpets I could use, and techniques
I'm not looking for a factory finish, just fresh shag
I replaced the carpet on a van I had years ago
It was a cinch, cut to fit, spray adhesive, molded nicely, not as many contours as my car
Any thoughts appreciated

Thanks again USMB I'm the proud owner of a 2006 outback

i'm looking to purchase a newer subaru from the dealership
i'm partial to a 5-speed so its limited my self to about 3 cars
2005 legacy wagon 80,000 miles $9,000
2006 outback 110,000 miles $8,000
2005 outback sport 130,000 miles $7,950
now i really like the legacy wagon, but they gave me vehicle history report and a photo-copied piece of paper with written description of what has been replaced and when.??? i already dont like
it says that in aug 2011 timing belt, headgaskets were replaced, but looking at the vehicle history report, aug 2011 this car only had 66,000 miles on it???? WTF
looking at the headgaskets i can see they are a multi-layer metal gasket, but i dont know what the factory gasket is suppose to look like???

I had the transmission swapped to a manual 70,000 miles ago. So if I change the engine to 2.2, the 2.5 auto computer will still work???
-
I'm ready to undertake the engine swap. My 1996 outback has about 350000 miles, speedo broke years ago. What kind of engine hoist do I need to buy? Donar car is an hour away and must stay there for parts. I know I need a 2.2 manual computer, do I need to change the fuel pump? What about wiring harness???
-
great NEWS
maybe i can send back the $17 O2 sensor and plug hole with a bolt
-
1985 Hatchback EA81, 160,000 miles and i'm trying to do the exhaust manifold, the first problem without even really starting is the catalytic that is on there has no o2 hooked up or a place too plug one in, i have my new Exhaust Manifold with the O2 Sensor on the way. but i dont know where i need to wire it too??? Please help, pictures are grand

i dislike bondo though, i live in the salty north east and when i need to patch something, I Grind, Wash with alcohol, Paint, and Rivet the Aluminum sheet (wont rust) with aluminum rivets on, but I don't mind its appearance
making sure the metal is exact fit and always thinking of water travel
i just did this to my 85 GL Hatch
inside the rear fenders and underneath the doors and the doors themselves
underside and weel wells got some rubberized undercoating
-
One more question. It needs an oil change, any particular weight/viscosity oil that the ea81 requires? is 10w30 ok ot use?
Shad
nice find, how many miles?
from a haynes repair manual i have for 1980 through 1989 EA81 and EA82:
0-30 F= 10w-30
30-60 F= 10w-40 or 20w-40
60-90 F= 10w-50 or 20w-50
-
let me know if you find a source for EA81 headers

I'm looking at getting a early 90's EJ22 from CCR
but need info on the computer and intake/exhaust manifolds
-
I thought '96 5-speed Outbacks had the 2.2 engine? Just curious.
it has a 5-speed transmission from a 94 legacy
4EAT died at 285,000

doesn't mean we have the same problem
sounds like you are throwing money at your issue
i have a hard time with electrical issues (never again VW)
thats why i took her to the trusted shop in my neck o woods
he replaced an ignition-VR wire and re-connected some ground wires "Free" cause i buy tires for all four vehicles there
he also replaced the choke heater wire at a separate time
learning how to ask the right questions and a little patience will pay off HUGE on the USMB
i would try to find a wiring diagram and check to see if yours is all connected
i wasted $20 purchasing a volt meter, and a lot of time thinking I'll figure it out just to drive to the shop frustrated and defeated, and he fixed it for free:banghead:

i guess my question relies on the price and quality, i like the directional steering option, but is that neccesary, and why does the stock option come with a throw away plastic cover???
