What does the dealer charge if you are out of warranty?

The person at the dealer who was to charge me $150 for the GPS update is no longer employed. They now have a tech guy who will do it for me at no charge. Apparently, the update I attempted did not take.

Replacement done. Went smoothly and timely. You'll get 3 OEM parts back. Take the TSB with you.

Battery died after 2 yrs. 8 mos. Heading to dealer today for check and replacement. TSB07-213-22R

The dealer only sells that fluid in 5 gallons. What did you pay for it? They also told me it's a lifetime fluid not needing to be changed??!!

I got it done myself.

My local dealer has a person employed who will do the update for a paltry $150.00 and takes 3 hours. Is this really worth it?

The fix is in for the recall. Appointment made. just made a 2500 mi. trip. No problems with CVT or battery.

No issues yet.

I Just got a postcard about this. Getting ready to take a long trip with my 2 year old battery. Should I be concerned and if it goes down, do I need to keep all receipts?

Thanks.

It just sounds like a tire chirp. But I'll accept the CVT explanation.

So, does this fix the tire chirp when it's first put into gear?

Anything new on this recall?

Recall letters supposed to be mailed 2-7-22?

Well, this morning my mechanic calls me and had a customer come in for a CVT fluid change. Since he cant buy the fluid in qts. he wants me to sell him some fluid out of my 5 gallon bucket I had to buy. Interesting.

No, both 14mm. Oil pan drain nut now an easy to spot brass Fumoto valve.

I didn't blame Subaru for anything. It would be nice to have a picture of the oil pan location in the manual. This is my first cvt vehicle.

My manual says to inspect the cvt fluid at 36,000 mi. or 3 years. Dealer says its a sealed system and the cvt is warrantied for 60,000 mi. My question is, if it is sealed, then why is there a drain nut on the fluid pan? And if you need to inspect it, how does one do it without draining some of the fluid? Also my car, the XT Turbo, takes the CVTF-LV(low viscosity) fluid. The quart size of this fluid is discontinued and you can only buy a 5 gallon bucket to the tune of $460!! Don't do like I did and loosen that cvt pan nut thinking it was the oil pan!! The real oil pan is conveniently tucked away and seems to be hidden.

No, under the passenger seats. It's not plastic. I think I found the part. It's called a floor pan splash shield. Left drivers side is part# 56411AN01A. Right rear is #56411AN00A. $94.23 @ parts.subaru.com.

Yesterday I had a curb run out in front of me and ran over it. Ripped out that cardboard underneath and it was dragging on the ground. I cut the loose piece off. Won't that thing deteriorate after awhile and eventually degrade? I'm sure a new replacement would be expensive.

Yes, I have the noise on ignition shutoff.

I noticed tinting the windows makes it even quieter. Not sure if the acoustic glass makes the windshield stronger.

Thanks for this info. Really, the wipers are under warranty
