The ***ALL NEW*** AUSubaru.com.au Forums

i think the price difference is due to 2 things.
firstly the dealer will likely charge more per hour labour then a service centre.
secondly the dealer will likely use genuine parts, rather then the after market parts that the service centre quoted you

before svens great story i was going to play this:

;) just to lighten up the topic

Well I replaced my engine and clutch in my car and since then I haven't had the issue.

It's standard so I think it would be solid?

wont be doing a lot this year for oz day unfortunately all my mates are at the big day out.

looks like ill be listening to the hottest 100 all day

changed the engine oil and filter today in the forester. used some new valvoline oil http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/online-store/products/Valvoline-NextGen-Engine-Oil-15W-40-5-Litre.aspx?pid=325137&menuFrom=60102#Cross it was cheap and thought i would give it a go. smells a bit weird though... als...

i have the same thing in my forester. it was a lot worse with my old engine and have delt with it in same way by prssing on the clutch. the new engine is not as bad but still does it, but in saying that i could have just gotton used to it. it does make you look like a total manual newby in the car p...

that is probably the best brumby ive seen. someone will be very lucky

for some reason unknown the US service intervals for there timing belts are longer. but yes 100,000ks in aus

i had the same scam when i sold my last bike. seems to always happen when people sell stuff on gumtree

Could be a couple of things I would first check the aerial connection. I know in the foresters they have a booster behind the radio. Check that if you end up replacing the head unit.

probably more so due to the geometry of the car. i used to hate sitting in the back on the my father in laws 07 liberty because it was so harsh, yet in the front was a very comfortable car.

the torque on the plug shouldn't be that great so the close enough is good enough worked for me. when i un-done the plug there was no chance of stripping the plug as the fitment was very close.

nice ramps i got a set from repco 4x4 ones. cost only $103 so couldnt complain

i used 1/2 inch in mine tonight...
also a set of ramps will be of help to get it un-done i couldnt get mine un-done with out them

Thanks mate :) Thunder, why dont you give Frog a call too. He works at a Subaru dealership, knows his stuff & is more than helpful! Yeah, great ability offroad but they dont seem to be too reliable...what do you expect for something made in the US...I'd only get something made in Japan or Germany ;...

i would imagine if the volts increase while started the alternator is sending power thus working but could be wrong

would this fit with my current CV's?
also were the GT's lsd?

been on the phone all day and my best options is to replace the whole diff as its unlikely the drive shaft is the issue, rather the gear inside the diff that holds it in there

called a few wreckers and apparently there is two types of drive shafts that were used. also when i called repco that asked whether it was a SG9 or SGK. can anyone shed some light
