  1. Some time ago I was driving on highway using cruise control. Got home, then next day my dashboard went on with "CHECK ENGINE and flashing CRUISE CONTROL. I cannot angege it anymore and it does not work. Tried to disconnect Battery for an hour but it did not help. I have checked with my friend (who has a computer) all messages and there was nothing reported related to the Crouse Contrlo or similar item. http://tinyimg.io/i/dbOuDJG.jpg Since I'm not planning to keep this car to long I would rather not want to get into expensive repairs, but perhaps somebody has some quick tips to check anything else that might be causing it so at least I could diagnose it. Regular SUB shop would probably charge me $100 just to tell what's wrong. Computer shows problem with ABS sensor and this is something I'm aware because it goes on and off back and fort, but I guess this is not related to cruise control at all.
  2. Sub.Forester 2007 /115k Since a few days I have CRUISE CONTROL message blinking and along with that CHECK ENGINE. After weekend (2 days no driving) it went off, then Monday after o.5hr driving came back again. Of course I cannot turn on/off cruise controll and any of its features are not working. I was wondering if there is something that possibly could be reset ? Fuse? Relay ? switch ? etc? Any ideas what might be causing it ?
  3. GeneralDisorder - your post is no meaning. What you talking about ?
  4. I get lots of air coming in when in hight speeds making lots of noise. I tried to place some door foam into the seal but it heplped only for some time. I wonder where can I get those door sealt which go around to replace them ? Tried to look on-line but no luck. It is Forster 2007 (non turbo). Art
  5. Forester 2007 (Std). My AC goes on and off and on.... It seems that I need a clutch replacement. Anybody did that without taking the whole compressor out ?
  6. Souperoo - I did all of this before your post. The mechanic put the O-ring wrong and it got damaged. They replaced it with something similar but I guess it's a bit smaller. The wheel is running nice and smooth but the pump is still making whining noise. I plan to go to Subaru dealer and purchase original O-ring and replace both clamps on the container. If the pump is brand new I do not see the reason to replace the fluid 2-3 times. Of course pump might be faulty but I doubt. It looks like an air problem only. All belts are working fine and cover is bit loos on one end (as expected).
  7. Replaced first (rebuild) pump at the shop. It did not work at all. Replaced the 2nd pump (new after market). IT works but when making turns it makes noise. I have seen some videos on-line and tested for recommended troubleshooting but so far nothing helps. When bleeding the pump we placed the reservoir higher than the pump. No bubbles in the container. We also replaced the O-ring (because original got damaged while installing). The mechanic (or I rather should call him handy man) did a crappy job. the canister was also removed and cleaned. This is Forester-2007(non turbo), with 108k miles. No leaking can be found so I'm out of clue what else could cause this. I wonder if we should order another pump or there is anything else to test ? Any ideas appreciated ART
  8. thanks guys, god idea. I will try to call them and get few answers to see what they say first.
  9. I make 99% of my payments with CC (and this was probably paid this way but I cannot recall details after 5 years. Thank you for your replies although I need somewhat official info: how long we need to keep documents related to the car purchase ??? I believe this should be the same for the entire US. ART
  10. I received a letter from the City Office asking me to pay the TAX for my former car. This was Toyota. I have sold that car about a year ago and switched to Subaru. The letter was sent to me 1 year after I sold the car and about 5 years after I bought it. Once I sold the Toyota and purchased Subaru I got rid of all documents related to Toyota. I just have no room to store old paperwork and junk. The City Of Chicago requested to pay the tax + penalty. I wend to the local Currency Exchange ask for the records and prove that the taxes were paid. they explained that they do not keep those records for 5 years. Of course then I was not able to collect or retrieve any documents related to local tax (which was paid). I also have no access to the bank account records from 5 years ago to prove the payments (which went from my C.Card through Currency Exchange). How long the law requires me to keep car documents ? I was under impression it is 3 years. I'm sick and tired of explaining them I have no access to the documents and I'm sure the taxes were paid (simply because all procedures regarding that car - it was used one) were taken by Currency Ex. office and I trust those people know what they doing as they process thousands of those every year. At this moment I'm completely stuck, but I really hate to pay the tax (which I already paid) again and especially deal with the car I do not even own anymore. I appreciate any help or advice. ART
  11. thank you guys for suggestions. Not sure if the kit also includes drive belt or I need to order it separately. Mine is in really bad shape and ot one place I see holes in it so need to replace it ASAP (which brand you recommend of so?)
  12. I would like to ask those who did it what the cost for replacing timing belt ? Replacement will include kit lie this one here is the link to the part . Arthur
  13. I would like to install heat exchanger (for mobile shower). Wonder if anybody has gone through this and if you guys have any recommendations to brands, install locations and tips. here is (but of course I need to install this in my Forester 2008. I'm also not sure what size to choose (although it would be mainly for 1-2 people no more). Here is but the construction is a bit different. Any opinions ? ART
  14. I need to run 2 external cables into the area of the dashboard. One is external antenna coax ( little bit thinner than regular TV cable). The other one is a USB cable. What is the best route (or I should say the easiest path for permanent installation) ? Arthur
  15. Subaru Forester 2017. What was the trick to disable 4WD ? If I remember there is some fuse or jumper in a fuse box or something like that. any ideas ? Art
