  1. Sorry, I'm still a bit confused about the cross-bars since I haven't seen any of the roof rack accessories first hand. So my 05 Outback wagon comes with the wing-shaped (flat) crossbars. Subaru sells the round cross-bars for the Outback as well. What is the big difference between these (except shape), eg quality/usability? Does other Subaru accessories (bike/ski/cargo) work with both or just one of them and what about non-Subaru accessories? Thanks, /t
  2. I've had the fix for about 4 days now, and it is about 50-70% better for me. I can still feel it in 3rd and some in 4th gear but less prominent. Haven't noticed any change in power. /t
  3. Got my car back today. Too early to tell how well the fix worked. I did get some info from the service rep. The fix is not designed to eliminate the problem completely according to the district manager. It will fix about 70% of the problem in most cases. They reduced the time to calculate some parameters which will remove some of the studder, but not all. He also mentioned something about getting through EPA quickly. /t
  4. When I talked to the service rep last time, he mentioned that they previously thought the car was running lean, but SOA techline said the problem is because it is actually too rich. I'm no mechanic so I don't really know what that implies. My car seems to run a bit better with 93 Shell V-Power than my previous choices of gas.
  5. Still waiting. Turn-around time seems to be about 9-10 days now. There is backlog at SOA for this fix.
  6. Sevice rep did not know when they would be able to fix it locally. He mentioned some cartridge they would receive, but SOA need to make a bunch of 'em to send to all dealerships. Car has been at the dealership since Monday. They say it takes about 3 days, but the guy ahead of me waited more than a week, so it may take a while. Crusin' around in my sloooow loaner car meanwhile...
  7. Yes, they did. Great dealership service so far from Austin Subaru. /t
  8. Dropped my car of today to have the "studdering" problem resolved. One guy ahead of me dropped his car off last Monday and is still waiting. Suppose to take about 3 days. The service rep said that sending the ECU to SOA NJ is currently the only option. Eventually they will be getting the gear/cartridge to fix it locally. /t
