| I looked online and there is nothing about key replacement for a subaru outback to make the system on a 2001 keep the pump flowing????? Is that normal? All I see is reprogramming fobs! Is it necessary to have the car at the location for I guess reprogramming? | |||||

| 2011 Subaru Outback losing brake pressure completely when hitting potholes | 23Relevance | 5 years ago | Perrottamd | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty. I have a 2011 subaru outback with 113K miles on it. In the past 12 months there has been 3 instances where I have lost brake pressure completely if braking while hitting a pothole. If I lift my foot off the brake when it happens, the brake pressure comes right back. The dealer can’t figure out the cause. I had the master cylinder replaced and a full brake job (front and rear pads and rotors). I’m told the brake lines are not leaking. It just happened again and only happens if braking while hitting a pothole. What could be the cause? | |||||

| Fiat/Chrysler, Stellantis or whoever they are, we all know their vehicles are just awful. When subaru discontinued their manual transmissions; I won't consider getting another outback. I, me personally don't like CVT's. I'd rather drive a manual or "normal" automatic. @Kerem mentioned the failure stats; don't drive hard and change fluid it may be ok. | |||||
| Should I purchase this Subaru Outback?! | 23Relevance | 3 years ago | Msomjak@gmail.com | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I’m looking at a 2013 subaru outback 6 speed manual with the original body and transmission. It has 146k. However the engine was replaced with a 2016 forester engine (80k). So it shouldn’t have consumption issues. It’s listed at $9.9k and the clutch was replaced as well as the brake rotors and pads.I checked the carfax on both the engine and the vehicle and they seem to have been taken care of regularly. The shop is known to be a “Subaru” specialist in town. Also they offer a 30 days/unlimited mileage warranty on the transmission and engine. Do you think I s ... | |||||
| About my Subaru Outback 2009 Shutting down unexpectedly | 23Relevance | 4 years ago | RaminKamal | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hello Mr. Killmer. Thank you for your informative YouTube Channel. I was just curious if I can ask you a question please? I have a 2009 subaru outback with Engine 2.5L. I have done a few repairs on it. For example, back in 2021, I did a full tune up on it. Then, I fixed all front end issues. Replaced the Bulkhead Engine Harness because I was told that if the vehicle shuts down behind the red light is because of this issue. Then I had the mechanics clean the camshaft sensor. But yet, sometimes the car does shut down in the middle of the road. Mec ... | |||||
| Answer to: 2017 Subaru Outback engine blown with NO WARNING! | 23Relevance | 4 years ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| My daily driver is an old Saab with over 360,000 miles. It uses a little oil, 1/2 quart between 5000 mile changes, but I believe that's acceptable on a 25-year-old car with that kind of mileage. I still check the oil periodically just in case it decides to start using more. (It has no oil pressure gauge or oil level light, just the idiot light saying "you're hosed" if it lights up.) Some cars have an oil pressure gauge so you can see if a problem is developing (My '99 Jeep Cherokee has that), but most just have the light that says you're already toast if it lights up. (You can thank Hudson for that by the way. They're the ones that first started installing idiot lights instead of gauges way back when.) subaru did have an oil burning problem around 2014 due to a supplier sending them bad piston rings, but that was over and done with by 2017. I don't think those engines are any more prone to oil burning than others. A friend of mine has a 2017 outback and it uses no noticeable amount of oil between changes which I think are being done at 6K miles on that car (factory maintenance schedule). I've checked it myself and the dipstick still shows full just before taking it in for an oil change Doesn't help you, unfortunately, but I think your problem is very atypical in those cars, typically it's the CVT that acts up. Is there any kind of warranty in effect on that car? | |||||
| How to break in a 2002 Subaru Outback rebuilt engine? | 23Relevance | 4 years ago | Idb05 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| 02 subaru outback with 144k (0) miles. Just installed a rebuilt engine and am wondering how I should go about the initial break in. From what I’ve read they say to keep the engine at 1500-2000 rpm for the first 20 min and check for leaks during that time. Then drive it around for about 15-20 minutes and accelerate from 30mph to 50mph then engine break back down and do that about ten times. I’ve gone through the first start up about 5 min through but stopped due to the valves being incorrectly adjusted and knocking. Should I continue with the first start up a ... | |||||
| Subaru Outback which oil | 23Relevance | 5 years ago | Graham EP | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty I've just watched your you tube video about choosing the correct engine oil and I have a question. I live in the UK and I have a new subaru outback (5th Generation) with the FB25 2.5i engine & CVT. I am about to do the first oil change. I use the car for normal driving and some towing of my caravan. The oil filler cap states 0w20 and the owners manual says ow20 is recommended but 5w30 and 5w40 can also be used. I have spoken to 3 local dealers - one uses 0w20 and the other two use 5w30. I contacted Castrol who suggested 0w20 or 5w30, Mobil who ... | |||||

| The transmissions on those are somewhat weak, and tend to go out not much after 100k miles. To get the most life out of it, drain+fill the transmission fluid (change it) every 30-40k miles. Every CVT is different. This is what we see with 2010-2015 subaru CVTs going out around 100k miles according to online owner report sites, Scotty's channel, and this forum. Maybe yours is made better. Still take care of it, and be prepared to replace it at that critical 100-120k mile mark. | |||||

| 2017 Subaru Outback CVT 2.5L | 23Relevance | 5 years ago | saw | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I am the first owner of a 2017 subaru outback 2.5L with 88,000 miles on a CVT transmission. It is my understanding that the CVT is a closed system with a 100,000 mile warranty, and opening the system (to do a fluid change) voids the warranty. I’ve heard lots of varying opinions. What is your take on this? Do I wait for the warranty to expire and then do a fluid change, or do the fluid change and risk the warranty? Would I flush the system, or just drain and fill? Thanks | |||||

| 2007 Subaru Outback grinding noise during acceleration! | 23Relevance | 5 years ago | Nathan Brawley | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I’m looking at a 2007 subaru outback with a manual transmission and when I accelerate it makes a grinding/screeching noise. I suspect it might be from somewhere in the transmission or diffs. Whenever I am coasting the noise goes away. I want to know if it is worth buying and fixing. The car is very clean and recently got its head gaskets and timing belt replaced at 127,000 miles. I just want to know if there is a bearing in the transmission/diff that is causing this noise during acceleration or if it is something else. The car has 156,000 miles on it and an ... | |||||
