  1. Hose to the exhaust worked for a lot of people. Never heard of anyone doing it for mice mice. I think you are just getting new mice and the bait works. I towed home the last car I fixed and watched mice jump the whole way. Just the greatest of condos for them I guess. 3 screws takes off the blower motor under right side of dash. They get a lot further up and it gets a lot harder to get in but that has always been the best home for them. Mostly I would say bait and traps where you park your car . Good luck, Tom.
  2. No temp sensor works when there is no water left. The gauge reads cold even though the engine is being baked. Subs run great a long time with slightly leaking head gaskets. In the end water does not compress and you lose a rod. Take a look at your coolant overflow and if it is black you are getting exhaust in there. This does not happen overnite very often and hoses usually leak before they blow. Once they overheat, now all those hoses need replaced along with headgaskets,rod brg.waterpump and check the rad. and engine and rad. coolant sensors for your gauge and fans A coolling system pressure test is warranted sometimes along with general maintenance. Do not blame wife or Subaru.
  3. They like to come in thru the air intake for your heater , top of the back of the engine compartment. put screen across there. They like to live in the heater core and ducting, it is not to hard to get there or the blower motor to inspect. If your car is new maybe the dealer can help. This is nothing new to Subaru. I don't know why mice like them but they really,really, really do. We had to strip the cars down to a bare shell to clean them out. They like to chew on the silicone spark plug wires. Even if you kill them they still urinated all over inside of your car and usually lived in the heater so it smells every time you turn on the heat. We removed that and presure washed them. WE even had to replace all of the felt sound deadening that is behind everything in the whole car. Bait works. I think maybe your just getting new mice. They crawl under/thru the the door rubber trim too.
  4. oNLY WAY TO FIX THAT IS Change the clutch housing for it as it is worn . The metal housing for the discs wears. There are no other fixes. 2 hrs on a lift and find one in the wrecking yard in a dead tranny. The metal part of the housing where it contacts the discs is worn. watch the plug in harness for the servos inside there.'
