  1. I occasionally smell coolant and it doesn't appear to be from the engine so I am thinking about opening up the heater core and checking it. Has anyone done this?
  2. That is what I was looking for. A sealed light. Funny how it is only the passenger side that went out. Just like the coil packs. There would be more puddles on that side though. And the car is relatively low miles as it does a lot of city driving.
  3. I did that recall many years ago. My problem is that corrosion got to the lights so the passenger side doesn't work. Amazon sells bulbs but they are like the originals. Corrosion is the bane of living in the Northeast. Just like you need to change the 2 right rear coilpacks, preferably when it is not winter in the 3.6Rs
  4. So to change the bulb to led, what do you need to remove? On a side note, my puddle lights on 1 side don't work. I pulled the rocker. Is there a replacement leds for that?
  5. My woman needs better lights. It sounds like vleds may be the way to go unless there are some led tuned replacement headlights. Not looking for U's or any halos. What is the latest word? My main concern is low beam.
  6. We never manual shift. The first time I felt it was taking a highway offramp and then the corresponding onramp so I thought maybe the g force which wasn't high, could mean low fluid. The fluid id full. Then just going down the highway and it happened again. It is not every day, actually maybe twice a week. The vehicle is at full operating temperature. It is not during a gear change AFAIK. It does get me thinking that if the torque converter locks up in normal driving then maybe it is disengaging for a couple of seconds. It feels like a gear tooth is broken so you get a momentary loss of power.
  7. Is anyone noticing a momentary skip while driving? I don't drive the legacy most of the time but did twice recently and felt this slip. The trans fluid is not burnt and is full. Is is the factory stuff. I've got 72k on the car now. You cannot get the 3.6r with the 5 speed auto anymore so I am not looking to replace. The woman said that it has been happening for a little while, just never thought to tell me.
  8. I got the notice for my 3.6R also. Called the dealer and they mailed me a copy of my invoice from 2015 when I had it replaced. Now to get me some green.
  9. She used it all the time. She grew up in a manual world and got used to it. Then the module failed and cost over $700. Now it is rare. The driveway is a hill but not steep.
  10. Rust is a funny thing. MY Tundra is going in very soon for rust perforation on the frame. I was surprised. Low mileage and most of the frame is still black. I would coat the replacement with corrosion protection.
  11. Mine came and went for awhile. Then inspection time came and it was time. It could be caps. I wonder if they plan on rebuilding them. I have my original so maybe they will do an exchange. I guess it depends on what actually goes bad. They are going to have to cover automatics as well as it is a safety item and required at inspection in many states.
  12. The part is different starting with 2013 because they changed the mechanism in the rear brakes to using the rotor and not the drum as in the earlier cars
  13. Mine failed on my automatic. I am going to go after subaru to refund my $700
  14. Blizzaks use 2 different rubber compounds. The base tread is lets call normal rubber. Then they add the ice gripper rubber to double the tread depth to make a typical depth tire. I see ads with tires near half worn all the time as those that need them go buy a new set. Being cheap when my wear down they just became summer tires and they would be worn out by fall when I got new ones
  15. I have a 10 bought new so I do keep vehicles a long time. And I did buy snow tires and wheels to swap out. Thing is I don't need them. The original tires were replaced last fall and the original tires were sold in the spring to someone who needed legal tires. The thing about driving fast is really a I95 New England thing. The further from the coast the issue lessens so a good A/S especially like the ones I bought are more than adequate. There are lots of exceptions. Blizzaks lose their ice rubber at about 8/32nd so that is when they become A/S tires. If you have new ones I don't recommend them for the fast driving either. They are squirrely on warmer days. I have had a dozen sets over the years, I know. My unused snow tires and wheels are not going to waste, they will go to my kid because the Forrester still uses the 5X100 bolt pattern. And her factory tires are wearing down. So the original will be good for the spring until winter. What works for me is partly because I am hundreds of miles away. And my weather is quite different than even 50 miles around me. That is why location for this type of thread is very important. And driving styles. I said in my last post I am a proponent of snow tires. I have shown dozens the virtues of real snow tires. But not everyone needs them.
