98 outback had piston slap and was a year that was bad for them also 99 is a better year to buy one 97 's also problem year started piston slap and headgasket issues i work at a dealership i've seen this

hi everyone! I just traded my 1999 outback with 61k for a 2004 leagcy 35th anniversary edition sedan with power seat moonroof this thing has everything from compass mirror to spoiler it only has 7k on it the previous owner wanted a 2005 instead.

hey man i agree with you that guy is the one who should leave this siteand go somewhere else he was quite rude

dude chill out and don't be so critical not all of us are perfect like you

91 subaru loyale 72k for sale thinking about buying it no rust or rot at all 5spd sedan when you push the 4wd button it doesn't work the garage said it was not the switch in the stick part, anyone with any solutions or answers?

well there really isn't they are just known and just go , we install legacy wheel bearings in them instead and that usually works. sometimes they are so bad they can chew up the axle then that means replacement of the axle to.

each dealer is different with rates probably around $800, just a guess, i'm sure any side auto shop could do it for a bit cheaper but hey the mileage is awesome keep on going, there is a subaru site called the subaru high mileage club you should join with the mileage you have, good luck!!!!!!!!!!!

these models also have wheel bearing problems to, i have seen many go on these cars, i work in a subaru dealership you will know when it goes you will here a groaning noise if you do take car of it right away, if you don't it can lead to further issues with the axle and so on, otherwise they are good little cars!!!!

yes my 94 loyale did that the check engine light came on, it was a code for a idle air speed control valve, the car would start racing up and down then the check engine light came on, see if this is the same instance or code, this only did this now when i came to a stop at a light or just at idle

Hello everyone happy new year! Well its just amazing the amount of headgasket issues i have seen at my dealership within the last 2 weeks with the conditioner recall, sometimes that stuff does not stop the leak.So far i have seen 2002 impreza outback sport,2000 outback,2001 subaru forester that were all leaking and the conditioner has not stopped the leak.On the other hand we just had a 1999 legacy outback towed in with headgaskets leaking also.A girl came in with a 1999 legacy sus sedan with leaking headgaskets to, her coolant resevoir was full of oil, so we told her not to drive the car. this issue with headgaskets is getting way out of control i hope subaru cures this issue, i would be interested in hearing other peoples issues they have had with headgaskets.

hi everyone!!!!!!! 2000 outback had headgaskets done about 50k miles ago, before this conditioner came out. So anyways had the conditioner done , seems that eveything is ok then headgasket started to leak on drivers side,the conditioner does not always work.

we had just had problems with a 1998 subaru outback we did everything from coil pack to plugs and wires to a top end cleaner to a new fuel injector and nothing worked, then we had to remove the head ,the misfire was #3 consistant. It ended up needing new valves, believe or not car ran great after that. this car had other issues to we had it for about 2 months at the dealership of course we had other repairs done and we had a second car to. the dealership was great and the mechanic was wonderful this dealership i would bring it back to any day

hey everyone thanks for the advice on doing a compression check.Today we did a compression test and everything was normal no problems. My god this one is a tuffy!!!!!!!!! The valves were checked and we had made sure they didn't drop sometimes these subarus do that. i'm thinking maybe something wrong with the head, we also checked the timing and that was ok to.Hope to figure something out, i would appreciate any more input from anyone.

A 1998 subaru outback with a #4 cylinder misfire. Replaced plugs and wires, still running bad,replaced coil pack, still running bad. put fuel injector cleaner in and top end cleaner, still running bad, replaced fuel injector for #4 still running bad. anybody with any ideas, keep in mind that check engine light comes back on with #4 misfire after you clear the code then test drive it.

torque bind is your tranfer clutches for your awd, they bind when you turn it feels like the whole car is jittering and shaking. they are in the back of your transmission they need to be replaced could be costly depending on the dealer. the dealership i work at the repair is about $900 or so, it won't go away, once they start to bind they are pretty much shot

hey i have a 1999 legacy outback that had the same problem, mine had to be replaced with a reman transmission. It was still under factory warranty. internal seal failure was the problem, on the other hand mine would race up when i would come off a hill and the the tach would be at the other side then it would lurch hard into gear. this even did it on the driveway i have an incline also. good luck!

subaru legacys and outbacks in the years of 1995-1997 has gas gauge issues. replacing both sending units will take care of the problem

hey how is everyone? well guys i told you that i work in a subaru dealership and we had a 97 outback with headgaskets gone, well car is doing great but, we just had 2 subaru's towed to our dealership with 1 overheating and the other one leaking coolant pretty bad. the first one was another 1997 outback with 104k on it temp needle kept pinned on hot, not good he had overheated a couple of times, so we sent the heads to be machined which are ok good for his sake so we need to put the engine back together and it should be ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then another car came in which was a forester 1999 or 2000 about 90k on it with coolant leaking pretty good it had the conditioner recall but guess what this one did not hold with the reconditioner, not good. so this one had headgaskets done and all oil seals done including rear baffle plate. all of a sudden headgaskets galore we have them but not as many as now, i had known there was problems 1997-1999 2.5 engines with headgaskets but ya know its pretty bad i have worked for there for about 2yrs or so, my customers have complained to subaru and subaru has hepled them with the repair which was great. subaru is good about helping there customers. i have an outback 59k on it if headgaskets go on mine of course it will be cheaper for me to have the repair done cause i work there. so anyone want to share any headgasket stories with me let me know i curiuos to hear about it gotta go

check with the dealership of where you bought it first if not check on the front fenders towards the doors and if it has vdc it will have letters on it saying vdc nice option to have though

heh very nice outback looks sharp 120k service coming up i would do all fluids, filters,plugs and wires and maybe even check on timing belt at that year timing belt should have been replaced at 105k don't let the headgasket problem scare you any car could have that problem new or used but hey good luck enjoy it. i have a 99 outback and love it!!!!!!!!!!!!
