Jan 16, 2011 · Yes. The 2.5 liter 4-cylinder engine has power for everyday driving that could best be described as “just adequate”. However, when you add the weight of that trailer, the 2.5 engine will strain to accelerate onto expressways, and you will have little or no reserve power for steep hills or for emergency situations. IMHO, this is not a safe way of doing things. The 3.0 engine …

Jul 27, 2016 · I have a 2005 Subaru Outback, 3.0 H6, LL Bean, 5 speed auto. 150,000 miles. No engine codes. I bought it took two years privately. I didn’t notice during the test drive, but it has a shake/shudder at 18-20mph and at 55-60mph. Only at those speeds and only during acceleration. During light acceleration it isn’t noticeable, but hard acceleration particularly on a hill at 55-60 …

Oct 5, 2014 · Please bear with me, I am typing up for my husband. I own a 2002 Outback. It is overheating. We have replaced hoses, thermostat, water pump, the temp sensor, had the radiator tested. Nothing has changed our problem. My husband is at a loss and the mechanic who has is now has no clue as to what else it could be. The mechanic is referring to it as a ghost problem.

Sep 18, 2013 · My 2001 Subaru Outback H6-3.0 is at 215k miles (I bought it for $4k at 201k miles). It overheats only when I drive for a while on a hot day. I was trying to get to Yosemite with my whole family in the car, and rather than do the intelligent thing and go back home and get it repaired, I kept going, stopping when the gauge started going past the middle to let it cool …

It has around 165k miles and so far we have had the fans, fan module, and thermostat replaced. Two days after the thermostat was replaced, I had driven it for 2 hours mostly at highway speed.

Jul 16, 2009 · I own a 2004 H6.30 Outback Wagon with 98,000 miles on the vehicle. I am the original owner and plan on keeping this car for several more years. Do I have to consider replacing the timing chain at some point? What is the life expectancy of Subaru’s timing chains? I am not able to get an answer from Subaru on this matter. Should I have the timing chain …

Aug 5, 2009 · I own a 2004 Subaru Outback 6cyl wagon. We have intermittently experienced a “bucking” issue that is worse going uphill and/or in the rain, and usually happens at speeds over 50 mph. To a non-mechanic, it feels like the fuel supply is sputtering. We have had it to the mechanic 5 times (3 times to Subaru dealer) and, of course, the problem will not showcase …

Jan 4, 2013 · About 2 months ago, I noticed a high pitched whine on my 2005 Subaru Outback. It honestly sounds like a siren and is very noticeable. It occurs more often when the car is cold (1st thing in the morning) and around 20 mp…
