Guest *Jedimaster* Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 That would be silly- you would have fumes from the gas and from the ass. That would be no fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattm Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I agree with the previous anti-whiner people in this thread. :-) I have other complaints about the car (milage, poor interior lighting in the limited wagon, climate control -- though overall I love the car), but the gas cap hanging down while I pump really doesn't bother me. -Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric L Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 It is a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) not a Recall. It is TSB# 09-40-04 and involves installing a retaining clip on the gas door. P/N: 49037AG28A exactly huge difference!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest *Jedimaster* Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I'm hitting the dealer (he deserves it) on Tues or Wed. I'll be sure to axe about the part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outback XT Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 I have been watching this thread with interest. Thanks to the photo, I now know that mine came from the factory with the clip. I can't remember my build date. I'm glad that I don't have to bother the dealer about this thing since I want to spend my energy talking about the clutch.

SubaruTim Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Bringing this back from the dead. I went to get gas today and i go to open my fuel door and it doesn't open. I hear it trying to open but it just wont. So I know the cable isn't broken. I'm thinking it could be this retaining clip but my car is a 2007. I never noticed it before from looking at the recall pictures. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcatz Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 yours may have the black hanger/guide already installed and your not seeing it maybe? -Travis Rob (rao) you're a fine gentleman, thanks I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronconia Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Will a dealership still replace this part under a recall request? Im the second owner , and th original owners fashioned a kind of leatherish strap to hold the gas cap... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longislander1 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 To put it a little more politely, you have to put up with some shortcomings on Subarus because they still give you a lot of car for the money. If you really want to whine, buy a Porsche like I (stupidly) did for some hefty cash and you'll start to pick every little thing apart, especially the things that are BETTER on the Subaru like the quality of the steering wheel, the seat leather, durability of the engine, a real spare tire in the trunk, etc., etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 All vehicles have their problems - just take a pick and you have it. If you want problem free - don't even think of anything that may be cool... Even modern farm tractors has a lot of strange problems. Problem free is maybe a MF35 driven at 10mph to the local supermarket once per week. Only problem you will have is to select the right clothing for the day.

bronconia Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Who is the girl in your avatar and where can I get a bigger picture? Dont know if you're running Mozilla or not, but a very helpful tool for firefox is called "tineye". It's an addon, and you basically search a picture, and it comes back with a ton of results where it's been used before. For instance http://www.tineye.com/search/ff7e3f6dca9b83cb28b67e18dd046804a40bb34a/?page=1&sort=score&order=desc is the result for that girl's pic. SOMETIMES, you can find the source, and info there. In her case, that logo in between her tatas has been changed a bunch of times, so I don't know where the original is. Cheers, hope it helps!

bronconia Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 actually, one of the results is this one: http://www.forum-auto.com/sport-auto/theme37/sujet378190.htm looks like it COULD be the original, but I don't speak french ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaruTim Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I got my gas door open earlier after an hour of messing with it. The tether got stuck even with the retaining clip in. So just a word of the wise, even though you have the clip make sure it doesn't get caught in anything when you close your gas door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
