![]() However, those trouble codes are often times somewhat ambiguous (especially emissions-related codes) and can be caused by multiple issues. #2008 subaru outbank coolant recovery tan code#They rely heavily on the trouble code information stored in the car's computer to diagnose and repair problems as they arise. Modern vehicles include highly complex systems which, unfortunately, most mechanics do not fully understand because they are mechanics, not engineers. Being able to put it in perspective, though, is invaluable when you have to deal with such frustrations. And, as with you, I also maintain my vehicles to high standards with the expected return of them being reliable and trouble-free, yet that result is not always the case. I understand your frustration as I have dealt with the same ones myself. I have 98,000 on the 99 OB and 105,000 on the 98 Forester.in my opinion that is not a lot of miles for a car that is supposed to be able to keep on keepin' on for over 200k miles!Īs you might realize, I am frustrated and angry over the time, money and inconvenience this is causing.so I would prefer not to have a "smarta**" remark in reference to the issue. ![]() I do not want to have to pay $100 to buy a friggin' code reader to "keep track of the problems"! After going through two separate smoke tests and making the proper repairs, I expect the problem to be resolved! Aside from the inconvenience of having to work around this issue when it comes time for annual inspection, what if it's a REAL problem and the light is just ignored because one "assumes" it just the vehicle doing it's "Subaru thing"!īoth of our cars (which have always been maintained religiously) have the same emissions code on them. Subaru management should be ashamed of themselves to be advertising a vehicle which causes so much aggravation to the owners, who in good conscience, put good money down and expect the car, even when it is 10 years old to at least be repairable!!!!!!!! I hope your comment is "tongue in cheek", because expecting a car to behave "flawlessly" is not exactly what this entire thread is about!!!!! It's about chronic, expensive, frustrating CEL problems that no matter what the owner does, will not and does not correct the problem! You have cars that are a dozen or more years old and you expect them to behave flawlessly? It sounds to me like you are destined for disappointment on that one. Good luck, let's hope for the cheap radiator cap.Xwesx writes: "Ah, I see. that it had this problem before and the same exact problem after though seems to suggest not to waste any more time on the thermostat. aftermarkets are insanely cheesy and whimpy. I don't normally do that, but just depends how long you want to keep the car, what kind of driving you do, and all sorts of other logistics.ĭoubt this is the case, but the thermostat should be a Subaru item. Not sure if you're planning on keeping this thing much longer but if the cap doesn't work and you begin to suspect something more ominous then i might even suggest some stop leak. Make sure your hoses aren't collapsing under load. they more often than not have head gasket failures without any oil/coolant mixing. It's especially not true at all of Subaru's. ![]() it's limited and doesn't apply to all vehicles, engines, failures, and situations. Oh, theres no coolant in the oil or vice versa? so, wouldn't that show up if a hg is gone? nah, that's a very generic and inaccurate idea that is often passed around. In addition, anyone have a throttle position sensor for a 2.2 engine? and I'm looking for a T-connector from the air intake and block to the pcv valve? Cannot find one anywhere? I could hear it gurgle down the coolant? Water pump isn't making any sounds, there isn't any leaking anywhere? Is the temp sensor bad? god I hate to replace that its such a bugger to get to. After a week the overflow tank is full? What is happening? Too much fluid? When I check the radiator I cannot see any fluid? Is the radiator clogged? I don't think so because when I filled it the lower hose had fluid in it. I have good heat in the car, temp guage is normal. I thought well the thermostat is stuck and therefore radiator is overheating and filling up the overflow tank? So, I put in a new thermostat filled the radiator there was fluid in the top hose as well as bottom, so i presume its flowing through the engine? I fill the overflow tank to appropriate level and drive. Ok, so the overflow tank is filling up on my 1995 Impreza. ![]()
