craigmcd Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 My daughter has a 2013 Outback with a 2017 four-cyl engine, which runs good and is reliable. Her mechanic, who is newish to her, has recommended a "fuel line flush". I can understand a brake line flush, or a radiator flush - but I have never heard of a fuel line flush. It seems to me that is happening every time you drive. It sounds bogus to me, and fairly expensive. She did not say anything about a fuel filter, which should be changed periodically or as indicated by poor engine performance. Is this guy trying to make a boat payment or what? He is also recommending a oxygen sensor replacement in order to solve an engine code problem - which kind of points to the catalytic converter, but he thought he would start with the sensor. He quoted $600 for both services. What does the hive mind think ? Thanks, Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
