  5. YES GO FOR IT THOUGH PRICE SOUNDS A BIT MUCH BUT CHECK THE UNDERNEATH OF IT ESPECIALLY FOR OIL LEAKS THESE CARS WERE VERY BIG OIL LEAKERS CHECKS EVERYTHING OVER IF OK GO FOT IT GOOD LUCK!
  6. YUP CHECK FOR EXTERNAL HEADGASKET LEAKS THAT IS THE YEAR OF THEM STARTING TO LEAK BECAUSE OF THE HEAD NOT BEINGH TORQUED TO FACTORY SPECS MY UNCLE OWNED A 2000 OUTBACK AND IT STARTED TO LEAK ANTIFREEZE AND HE CALLED ME AT THE DEALERSHIP AND I TOLD HIM TO BRING IT UP FOR US TO CHECK AND YUP, HEADGASKET LEAKING. PRIMARILY ON DRIVERS SIDE I HAVE SEEN QUITE OFTEN SO ANYWAYS HAD THE HEADGASKETS DONE UNDER WARRANTY OK NOW. 2000 WAS A FLUENT PROBLEM FOR DRIPPY HEADGASKETS SO CHECK IT OUT GOOD LUCK
  7. HEY I AM A AUTO RECONDITIONER FOR MY DEALERSHIP AND I SWEAR BY TURTLE WAX IT REALLY BRINGS OUT A SHINE AND ALWAYS LOOKS GOOD THAT IS WHAT I WOULD RECCOMEND
  8. WELL GUESS WHAT YES LOYALE CAME WITH TURBO IN THE OF YEAR OF 1990 ONLY. I HAD ONE THAT WAS THE ONLY LOYALE YEAR FOR THEM I HAVE HAD 8 SUBARUS AND WORKED IN A DELAERSHIP I KNOW
  9. sounds like transfer clutches going sometimes is caused by mismatched tires some pepole don't know that. i work at a dealership and always tell pepole that when they want to change only one tire i always say no not good for the awd transfer clutches it is an expensive repair we just did them on a 96 outback they were really bad when you turn the car it vibrates and jitters sounds and feels awful so anyways good luck ithink if you go to a dealership you will find the answer
  10. My God That Dealership Is Overcharging Really Bad For All Those Oil Leaks I Have Worked At A Dealership And All Those Leaks Would Not Come Close To,4,000 Dollars Get A Second Opinion Somewhere Else Even If They Highly Rated Anyways Camseals Around 350 To 400 Is Reasonable Hey Good Luck
  11. you will end up replacing the covertors eventually its expensive but doing sensors will not cure the problem i have worked in a dealership before i know so save the hassle of guessing replace them sorry to let you know
  12. there is a good chance that headgaskets are gone or perhaps your radiator needs to be replaced doa leak down compression test on your engine that will tell you that waopuld be the easiest way instead of trying to guess
  13. just to let you know eventually the car will not start either that sensor can enable starting problems keep in mind to
  14. It Does Sound Like Your Headgaskets Are Leaking I Happen To Know Someone That Had A Issue Where It Would Only Overheat When It Was In Motion And When You Stopped It Would Overheat I Drove A 98 Outback One Day And I Had The Heat On High And The Car Was Ok Then When I Came To A Stop The Heat Went Instantly Cold And The Needle When To Hot Pulled Over And Had The Car Towed And It Was The Head Gaskets Not A Cheap Repair Either Good Luck Let Us Know What Happens
  15. i have a 99 outback with a58,000 miles and just had a 60k service down has anyone had a headgasket go on this year or around this mileage i know there is a problem with headgaskets with these cars
  16. Hi People I Own A 99 Legacy Outback That I Love Has Been A Good Car Few Problems But Cured
