July 8, 200817 yr my partner and I are buying a 05 with a H6, 68K miles and all the works. That thing is awsome, all the toys you could get in a 05. Now is there anything i should be aware of? what should I look for? thanks in advance Neo
July 8, 200817 yr Now is there anything i should be aware of? what should I look for? since it is H6 probably (2001 OB does have) it has external AT fluid filter which you might like to replace if you decide to change/refresh AT fluids. (yeah, people say that there is no need to replace it but since it is external, there could be a reason why it is made such... also I found it quite dirty in mine at 105k miles) 60k miles (or was it each 30?) iirc is recommended change interval of sparks and on H6 their change is fun -- so you can dedicate a few hours for that (unless you are going to raise the engine anyways which would make things much easier) and I hope it doesn't have that weird vibration problem (at 20mph) which I am still fighting ;-)
July 8, 200817 yr weird vibration problem?.....like clutch shudder? mines doing that occasionally as the torque converter tries to lock up at low rpm (1200ish) Great cars, '03 and newer are pretty dam good vehicles. Ive heard the H6 motors like to kill alternators (usually bearings fail) so thats the only extra thing id check.
July 8, 200817 yr 3 words... High Test Gasoline! $$$ YIKES!At 3.00 difference per tank, I don't think it's that big an issue in the days of 60 dollar tanks of gas.
July 8, 200817 yr I thought the H6, unlike the turbo H4, did not require premium gas? Correct... since 1998 or so it is recommended but not required
July 8, 200817 yr weird vibration problem?.....like clutch shudder? mines doing that occasionally as the torque converter tries to lock up at low rpm (1200ish) nope. I reported on it earlier , then gave up on it, but I think I should come back to 'fixing' it... it is either front differential, or its studs or smth in suspention. I just need a reliable tech to look at it... but let me stop here to don't hijack the thread
