2000 Subaru Outback from North America - Comments

This is a follow up on my recent post for the 2005 Outback 2.5i. The technician replaced the fuel injectors/seals and tightened fuel line clamps. I picked it up today and the smell is still there. I immediately drove back to the dealer to let them know I still have the problem. So the service person had the tech that worked on my car come outside to take a look/smell. Well, both the technician and the service person both still smelled the gas. The car will be going back to them again at the beginning of the week to run some more tests. Note: I have not paid one dime to have this done. Also, note that the actual fuel lines were not replaced, only the injectors and injector seals. I bet that he next thing will be to replace the actual fuel lines. Also, note that this is only on the right side of the engine (passenger side). Will post again in a few days.

Like so many other comments I wish I read this page earlier. I own a 2001 subaru outback. I have been dealing with repairs every 6 to nine months since 2003. I have replaced the wheel bearings in the front to wheel twice, replaced both my cv joints twice, went in for the gasget replaced.. or flushed. The car has always pulled the right no matter the alignment I've gone through three sets of brakes (who ever wrote that the brakes are to small for the weight of the car I agree). My check engine light has been going off for about a year now, the mechanic said it was the O2 sensor and I've never bothered getting it fixed. lately though my car doesn't seem to have power when starting from a stop. and when going up hills it hardly shifts.. I'm not sure if its my timing belt or transmission. I checcked my tranny oil and its good. if you have any suggestions I would love to hear them.
