  1. Scroll to the bottom (posting quote so they see the answer)
  2. Just an anecdote, but my new OE bearing (its first replacement) started failing soon after replacement. It’s now as bad as it was before the replacement, but has not gotten worse. I’ll replace it if it gets worse or starts to grind. It very well could be the opposite side bearing, but it sounds identical to the previous failed bearing.
  3. That’s just about the most ghetto thing I’ve seen in this thread so far. Awful!
  4. Both of mine were OK, but still gunked up well before 100k. One shoe does not fit us all.
  5. Just like the stupid news..."Is this common household thing killing your children!? Tune in at 7 to find out!!!" I'm not sure you know what the word 'context' means. Also, your link is broken...
  6. I bought all of my LED's from Diodedynamics. Just select your vehicle and go from there. Just make sure to wait for a holiday to get 20% off. RSB is < $100 for an OE thicker bar from a Crosstrek CVT/Differential fluid: change all three. I was told by one dealer that they don't recommend it changing these fluids. I followed up with, "CAN you do it?" they said they don't actually have the ability to do it. A second dealer had no problem changing the CVT. I changed the front and rear diff fluids myself for cheap. Brake fluid: often forgotten, but should be done every few years. PCV Valve: Should have been changed by now Firmware: We requested a free update to our Nav software and, because it had never been requested or updated before, we were given one gratis. RE: other firmware, I wouldn't do so unless you have a specific problem. I did so with our previous '08 Civic due to slipping/slow shifts and they improved at least 50%. It was $100 well spent to have everything updated.
  7. about:blank context helps when you post a random link...
  8. Sounds like all no-nothing car owners to me... To generalize as badly as you do, I consider all pickup drivers AH's. My empirical data tells me they're the only ones who close the gap when I'm trying to enter the highway (this is actually mostly true).
  9. Strange, either the CVT will hold power or it won't. It sounds more like the CVT tuning isn't reacting well to engine tuning, not its strength or durability.
  10. I haven't read that Cobb is having trouble with tuning due to the CVT. Any source for that?
  11. I agree that you should be taking your car to the dealer. I disagree that the described throttle behavior is normal. Subarus are known to be touchy with an exaggerated throttle curve, but they do NOT bog then, after letting up on the throttle, accelerate like crazy. That makes no sense! Sounds like a possible Throttle position sensor or even a CVT issue. Two points re: your MPG: 1. The wording of your posts leads me to believe that you weren't always getting such bad gas mileage. So, what's changed, if anything (e.g., commute change to all city, lots of idling time/warming your car for extended periods of time before driving off, etc.) 2. What kind of change are we talking about? 15 --> 12? 25 --> 12? Big difference there and a major data point we're missing to make any sort or recommendation. 3. What are you seeing for boost during the strange throttle response behavior? Are you seeing full boost while at the lower than expected RPM that remains after you let off the throttle, with its resultant increase in RPM, or is it truly bogging down initially?
