Snow drifter

Painted my rims

I went hunting for a fuel leak today and I think I found it. I fueled up on the way home and discovered gasoline glistening on the lowest part of the filler neck when I checked underneath. Upon further inspection I found that there are several spots of very severe metal rot. I ordered a replacement neck along with some hardware and new right, rear taillight assembly (the turn signal still has moisture in it even after I resealed the whole thing). I also found that the muffler shop stripped the weld nut on the transmission brace when they put in the new front pipe. That would explain why the rear cat was knocking on the undercarriage. A slightly thinner bolt, nut, and lock washer solved that.

That sucks....what did the 30K service run you?

Did they change your spark plugs?

Cheers!

Thought about washing it. Way too cold for that. Had a cup of tea instead.

Finally heard back from the body shop. They have almost all the parts in, should be another day or two at most, and then I should have it back by the middle of next week. Maybe.

I can't wait.

No spark plug or plug wire change as I did that before hand and no wiper blade replacement or tire rotation because I did that before hand as well. They changed all the fluids, gaskets, for transmission, oil pan, stuff like that. Fixed the rear seat belt that was under recall for free. They didn't change the coolant and claimed they topped it and the wiper fluid off but didn't. Charged me 420.78 they replaced the fuel filter and pcv valve as part of the maintenance as well as the cabin filter. Didn't change the air filter as I did that myself. The transmission doesn't seem to shift as hard now that the fluids have been changed. According to paperwork in reference to hard shifts they reset the acm computer whatever that is. I know gas mileage has increased just a tad. I got 30.3 avg mpg on the 45 mile drive home. Had they had to have done the plugs, wires, wipers, tire rotation, air filter replacement, and what not it was going to be around 550.

All that at 30k? Holy crap O.o

I did front and rear diff oil today, and flushed the coolant for water. Re-flushing with coolant tomorrow, and installing my new injector. Hopefully all will be smooth sailing from there.

Well, I messed up...read the warranty and maintenance booklet wrong...the plug change is at 52.5K according to Subaru. I am still going to look at the dealership and see about their price as $700 from my usual independant shop [my shrine/holy land] is charging too much!

Cheers and thanks for the info on the 30k service, all!

Well...the 52.5K was a misprint. It is 60K.

We have an empty parcel of land by our subdivision (remainder of the unbuilt land, result of the housing market crash), so I took my son on an off-road drive. He thought it was neat to be able to cut from a paved street directly into mud and short bushes. He's three, strapped into the child seat, getting bounced around, and having a great time!

When we finally hopped off the dirt lot, his response was "that's it? no more? awww."

Yeah, I reckon the price was decent

Installed the Grimmspeed MC brace and Lamin X yellow fog light covers, very happy with both.
