What did you do to your Outback today? V3

Ooh I like that one in the picture too.

 

I've never ever noticed that. So the driver-side reverse light is different from the passenger-side on the JDM/EDM models?

Yea in Europe you're required to have a red rear fog lamp. It's usually down in the bumper because that makes sense but for some dumb reason subaru put in on board the reverse lamp.

So you can actually wire it to do both on the usdm models. I do see some pictures where it's on the driver side not the passenger side, so maybe edm is driver and jdm is passenger and I can mix and match to get both.

This happened recently enough, let's just call it today, yeah?

 

So I am on my way back home (150mi trip) and half way back on a two-lane highway in the middle of no where, I hear a POP. Every time I give the car a little throttle I hear a not-so-comforting noise. I'm extremely worried at this point that something got caught in the belt or something more major has happened. I limp the car another two miles to a gas station, and upon stepping out of the car I smell something awful.

 

MELTED PLASTIC! YES! I immediately exclaimed. I was so relieved to see that it was just the front part of my inner fender liner (passenger side). The winds were strong that day, and they came under the car and snagged my fender liner (It wasn't secured in the first place. I had taken off the front bumper so many time and broke a clip every time I did so. I just need to execute the decision to go pay the stealership $5 for every clip down there.)

 

I took out my knife and cut the very front of the fender liner out. So now I need to go get a new one.

 

Another good example of do everything right the first time. I was lazy and didn't secure it properly. Not a big deal, but you can take something away from it.

I'd like to get the rear hatch garnish as well like in that second photo but they aren't the cheapest ever and need painting.

I've never looked, but it doesn't sound like it is too easy to find one, let alone two rear hatch garnishes, from two different market. Good luck on your endeavors. I cannot wait to see it when it is done.

I see the garnish pop up like once every six months. Luckily the lights are separate and much easier to find and will fit into the usdm garnish as well. I can find the passenger side all over the place. It'll be a while but it'll happen eventually.

Do you happen to have a part number for either side?

Some google work leads me to believe the passenger side is 236-20794. Also searchable with bp5 rear fog light.

 

No idea on a driver side. I see photos of both around so maybe a member who's done the change already could confirm part numbers? Maybe not in the outback thread though.

Glad to see it was nothing serious. When I had to cut and break a bunch of stuff off for my mud flaps I went and got replacements from the dealer. Might have been overkill but it's nice to have oe clips sometimes.

Rather, a great idea. As soon as I can, I'll be heading up to a dealer to grab a ton of them. I always find myself breaking them.

Get them on Amazon - way cheaper, and easier to buy a larger quantity.

I know that's a thing but I'm never sure what to get which I know sounds dumb. I had random ones in my civic and they all worked fine but it still bothered me. Especially if it didn't match.

Oh I totally understand that, I just made myself let that go when I saw how much they were charging for them at the dealer.

got an amazon link for the right part number? last time I tried the ones I got for "Subaru" were too big.

Yes, part numbers please. I promise I'm not being lazy, I just want to make sure I don't get any oversized ones either. The clips are dumb expensive for what they are so a cheaper amazon alternative would be perfect!

I actually don't have the part numbers or link, but you can search the oem part numbers and you should also see a bunch of alternatives in the "What did customers buy after looking at this item" section on the listing.

BOOM!

Alright, so I was being a little lazy. Here we go... matching PN#s

 

All for the same product your getting at 100:$13 vs 1:$2.5

 

Why pay for 5 clips when you could get 20x as much for the same price. Thanks lil'redwagon

You're welcome. I have now bestowed this upon you. Use it for greatness, and better others with this Curse of Knowledge.

Just picked up a bunch of interior trim off of Kalien32 in order to stay as fresh as possible. Really excited about the child achor caps haha. The MOMO steering wheel is pretty cool too.

 

Thanks again Kyle for meeting me at BWW. I appreciate your hospitality, and introduction to the Pacific Northwest!

Coolant is leaking somewhere around the turbo. Anyone have any "it's usually this hose" insight?

 

I dug around a little and tried cleaning it off when I had the downpipe off - but it was such a mess that I couldn't track it down to one source.

I am guessing you've already checked where the coolant comes in and out of the turbo? So far, I've only had very small leaks where that small inlet hose (not sure how it's called) connects to the turbo. Clamp was weak.

There's isn't much in that area that I recall. Hoses for the coolant tank and then in and out of the turbo. The water pipe is nearly halfway up the head.

Maybe you'll get lucky and it will be the same one it was for me:

second picture. easy fix.

^Yeah, the hose in that second pic. I did the same fix (swapped the original clamp with worm gear clamp).
