That's a funny statement "how can you say Subaru and reliability in the one sentence" LOL
I've worked on a lot of subaru's over the years and I could count the good one's on one hand. So many...

Why not log book Jon, if you are a licensed mechanic you have all the right in the world to sign off on a log book.
Some dealers will tell you otherwise, but that's just their sales pitch.
Yep - round and round in circles
Agree - full tank and sealed to atmosphere as all modern cars are there is no formation of acid
But it's a great discussion just the same -
it never ceases...
I have already given evidence and links in prior posts in this topic.
I quoted you because of your comment on "ethanol actually corodes certain types of metals" which I answered with researched...
Where is the evidence - sounds like another wives tale to me - another case of "dumbing down the general public" - It is a common misconception that ethanol damages/corodes rubber hoses. - If you...
I've been thinking about this octane business and extra performance - technically the car is tuned to the octane and therefore a higher octane will only produce a lower power output. Modern computer...
Be careful of what you read and double check if not triple check your sources. There is some really good information recently released by the NSW state government on ethanol fuel trials in NSW that...
For all those who carried on about the use of ethanol - please read Yeldarb link to united fuel - it's been kept secret for a while that it is actually ethanol that is being used to raise octane...
Ah!!!!! the truth finally comes out - guess what raises the Octane in premium and ultimate fuels - please tell me what expert says ethanol is a bad thing.
MPS6 Manual has tightening Torque of 10 to 24 nm
Tightening torque 10-14 N·m - this spec was cut and pasted straight out of MPS3 manual
Conclusion - THEY AIN'T TIGHT

What I love about my Golf R - not stalling it, super smooth gearbox & engine/exhaust sound
Illegal in NSW - shift it back when you come to Bathurst LOL
Seems to me that there is a lack of undestanding the reason there is wheel offset, there is quite a considerable appeal just for looks, which is so far wrong it's not funny.
Technically the offset...

I'm sorry too it may work with Advan but have a look at Rota wheel catalogue. Also talk to Col (You Lose) he has as in earlier post 245 tyres with a +48 offset and still has problems. The look is "in...
All well and good to fit the wrong offset - but if the tyres hit anywhere at any time or any point sticks out beyond the guard it will fail rego in NSW- It also says to every cop "Hey look at me, I...
The point is that you are fitting a wider wheel so you will fill out the guards nicely, using as close to standard offset as possible. Any other offsets while require modification to guards.
The...
Not so much of the 60 bit LOL - I'm 61, just pulled the whole subframe out of my MPS6 to fit stabalizer bars - fitted front & rear shocks a couple of weeks ago to No1 sons MPS3. Looking at the MPS6...
Do it yourself, no rattle gun required, just simple hand tools
Nothing like the satisfaction of doing it yourself.
Your dad will be able to do it with his eyes closed.
Simple bolt in task -
remove lower retaining bolt
remove two bolts from the top bracket
unbolt shock from bracket
No hidden problems other than they are gas shocks so they extend when...
Squealing is caused partially by glazing, the noise is actually the pad vibrating on the disc. It is not helped by the air inside the piston expanding with heat and trying to escape (something like...
Probably over stressing, I am guessing that the caliper pistons weren't pushed in far enough when fitting the new pads and they were sticking. Thus the brakes overheated.
I did the same on my...
Still sounds to me you have managed somehow to get air in the system. The brakes sound as if they are slowly, very slowly letting the air bubbles to rise back to the master cylinder and self...
Looks great - I thought there was something different - then realised the car is LHD. OH Man!!!! it's easy how you can take thinks for granted. I then checked to see you are from overseas.
Just...
CORRECT
Wouldn't even believe the printout of the wheel alignment from another Bob Jane Franchise.
