Q: How well does a subaru outback do in the mud?
I’m going off roading tomorrow but on a dirt road and it rained all day today, if anyone has a Subaru outback and experience with muddy roads can you let me know how it went? Mine’s a 2001 and stick, by the way 
Thanks!
A: i own a 98 outback wagon and where as i don’t go bogging with it i have had the fun of experiencing it in mud after several days of rain. it went well through it, scrubbed the belly pan trying to get out but as long as i kept the RPMs decent and didn’t let it stall i went through the mess. granted this was mud that was to become my driveway but still it proved itself. just keep in mind that you have a short bit of clearance, and if you are using the stock tire size then its 70 series tires. so you’ll be low to the ground. i installed 75 series tires on mine and gained an inch or better in the clearance. treat it good and don’t envision it as a 4×4 mudwaller.
Cheers,
James
Q: Has subaru ever made an outback with rear cargo seats?
I used to own a mercury sable station wagon that could seat 8 people (three in the front, three in the rear and two in the cargo area). I swear Ive seen a subaru outback with a similar feature before, but Im not sure how to find a used one or whether or not they even exist.
Was this an option at some point on that model?
A: The answer is no, for US model. The 3rd row seats in the outback may be an add-on cushion by the owner.
When I drove my outback (the legacy), I used to put a thin mattress and by the night time, I flip the rear seat all the way down to the flat position. Now I have a bed in the rear seat and I can stare through the dual roofs to see the stars… This is not a feature from the Subaru…but I think that is how they designed the ‘option’ for the driver to use.
Q: How do i go through the firewall on my subaru outback 2000 to install an amp?
im trying to install an amplifier kin my subaru outback 2000 without drilling through metal where can i run the wire?
what is a boot?
A: look for some boots if you cant find any you might have to run the wires under and go through an access point down there good luck.
Q: Can losing the rear spoiler on my Subaru Outback cause engine problems?
The rear spoiler busted off the back of our 2006 Subaru Outback. Now we cannot get the car out of park, the check engine light is coming on and cruise control won’t work. Is this all related?
A: If your rear spoiler had a break light in it then you may have an electrical short that MAY be causing other problems. Long shot but probable.

Q: How is the best way to see Subaru Outback in TN?
I am not good at sales and I really like this Subaru Outback Legacy wagon. It is smaller than a SUV but still has all wheel drive and good on gas.
My problem is all the dealers are so far away that it is such a ordeal to get it there and wait that I am going to have to sell it.
I just wondered if there was a better season to sell and how to advertisve.
I really like this Subaru but the drive to dealers is to far away.

I meant to asl sell a Subaru.
A: If I understand correctly, you are happy with your Outback but unhappy about the lack of any nearby convenient Subaru dealer and have, therefore, reluctantly decided to sell your Outback. That’s so sad.
First, I want to make sure that you understand that it isn’t necessary to have a Subaru dealer perform the periodic maintenance described in your Warranty & Maintenance booklet, like oil changes, filter replacement, etc.. Such maintenance can be performed by any competent local mechanic or repair shop. Just be sure that all of the work performed is documented and that you save that documentation. You only need to take your Outback to a Subaru dealer when you experience a problem which would be covered by a Subaru warranty.
I would imagine that now would be the best time to sell a Subaru in Tennessee. This is the season when many people start wishing they owned a vehicle with all-wheel drive, like a Subaru.
I would try to get an idea of your Outback’s value using tools like http://www.edmunds.com and http://www.kbb.com . Then I’d advertise it in my local paper’s classifieds and in any local free classifieds paper like the Thrifty Nickel.
Q: Do sti parts work on a regular subaru outback?
so i have a 09 subaru outback.
obviously not a huge tuner car.
but since the wrx sti is technically still an impreza . . . would parts still work for my car?
by parts i mean body kit/ground effects etc. (mainly exterior stuff)
and also exhaust, suspension, maybe even intake . . .
nothing huge just wondering.
thanks for your answers.
thanks.
what about exterior stuff?
that site has pretty much all performance parts . . .
A: Suspension parts may be about the only thing interchangeable. But they are designed to be quite aggressive on a heavier car so on your car, they may be way too stiff and extremely bouncy.Body kits are not going to work since the STI is an Impreza but the wade body makes it quite different dimensionally. Exhaust is also different in both the way it routs under the car and the quad tips would not work with the bumper made for one tip. And the intake is completely different. Are you thinking of buying used stock STI parts? There are plenty of aftermarket parts for your car if you search around. Try Rallitek.com for one.
Q: Subaru outback air conditioning doesnt work?
I own a 2000 Subaru outback, and this spring I turned on my air conditioner for the first hot day since last summer. What did I find, no cold air. The fan works and the heater still works. And the ac buttons light comes on, but no cold air. Radiator is full and air filter is pretty clean. What could be wrong?
A: If you were using the defrost setting on your a/c heat control through the winter then the compressor for the a/c still got use, which is good for it.
That said, there are some seals in the a/c hoses that do, over time, deteriorate and leak a bit.
Worst case scenario is the compressor is leaking.
Best case scenario it is one of the four a/c relays or a hose leak. Or the dedicated a/c belt needs to be checked for tightness and integrity.
Either way it is time to take it to an a/c shop for evaluation and repair.
Sorry it is not possible to pinpoint THE problem, but those are the usual suspects. There are other possible causes but they are much less likely to be the cause at this point.
Q: Can i change all wheel drive in my subaru outback?
With nowadays gas prices, i find it very irritating to drive an all wheel drive vehicle during the summer. I currently own a Subaru Outback Legacy 97 and for the most part i love it. However it seems kinda ridiculous to drive it in all wheel drive all the time. Is there any way that i could modify my car so that i could switch from AWD to Front or Back wheel drive? I want to save as much gas as i can lol. thanks!
A: you already get great milage why get more.and no you cant do it.
Q: Can I install seats in the trunk of a 1997 subaru outback?
I know some subaru outbacks have seats in the trunk, I am wondering if you can install seats in the trunk of a subaru outback if the car does not have seats in the trunk.
A: You sure can, you can buy the parts needed to latch everything down from the dealer or ideally pull them from another Outback. That way you can just transfer all the parts needed.
Q: What headlight enclosure should i buy to put HID lights in my 1997 subaru Outback?
I am looking to add xenon lights to my subaru outback. I need to know what all i will have to buy to make this happen
A: got to hidplanet.com forums and look for the hid university thread… everything you need to know is there…..it is recommended to do a retrofit with projectors…… you will need 2 ballasts, two bulbs, and two projectors…
Q: how to program a 1998 subaru outback remote?
I need to know how to program a remote for my subaru outback. It’s a 1998. The car didn’t come with one so I am not really sure if it can be done.
A: In ‘98 the security system and remote unlocking was generally a dealer installed option. If it is installed, there will be a light either in the dash display or somewhere on the dash that flashes when the car is locked (it should say “security”) or will be a red flashing light.
If it doesn’t have that, then more than likely it is not installed. Programming the remote involves a series of turning the ignition off and on for a few times, listening for the horn to beep, then either pressing the lock button a number of times to set the serial number of the remote or by simply pressing a button on the remote to allow the system to recognize it.
Go to the link below to read the specific instructions for your model.
Q: Who is the woman in the Subaru Outback “lost sunglasses” commercial?
The wife/girlfriend of the male character (John F. Beach) in the new Subaru Outback commercial who honks the horn and scares the bats out of the cave is who I’m trying to determine. She looks familiar, and I’m interested to find out if I’ve seen her in anything else.
A: Eleanor Seigler
Q: Is a gently used Subaru Outback a good “first car” for a teenager?
The family is currently trying to narrow it down between a Subaru Forrester, Subaru Outback, Subaru Tribeca, Hyundai Veracruz, or the Audi Q7. Which car would be best for someone who just got their license?
Which car provides the smoothest ride?
Which is safest?
Which is the most comfortable?
A: Audi Q7 would be the top for all of those questions that you asked. However, the least powerful Q7 still has 280hp. I would think I could trust my kid (if I had one) with a 280hp SUV, but that’s your choice. If you know they pay attention when they drive and notice everything, then get them the Audi. If they don’t and are just the regular teenage jackass behind the wheel that texts while driving and calls people on the phone, get them a piece of junk Honda.
Q: Why does my 2001 Subaru Outback smell like gas every time it’s cold outside?
Any time it’s cold outside, my 2001 Subaru Outback wreaks of gasoline. The fumes are so strong inside the car it will give you a headache. It’s worse when the heater is on and the car is idling. Does anyone know why this happens?
A: This is a relatively known issue with this car. What happens is when it’s cold, the fuel line fittings don’t fit together quite right, and as it warms up, they expand and refit. Below is a website that shows how to tighten the fuel line screws which seems to be a good solution. If that doesn’t work, you probably have a fuel leak somewhere, and I recommend going to a qualified mechanic or your Subaru dealer. It is normal in the cold for a car to smell a little like gas (very little!), as the mixture is richer at startup and cold cars don’t run well at startup, but it should not smell that strong. I have an ‘02 Outback that has a very slight smell sometimes in cold weather, but it goes away within 10 seconds, and doesn’t happen all the time. Hope this helps.
