Help, 2001 H6 Outback ECU error Tonight driving home up the freeway and the engine check/warning light came on. While waiting for takeaway I checked under the dash to see if there were similar on board diagnostic plugs like with my EJ22. I found a pair of green plugs however not the pair of black on...

Jay,

Slightly off topic, but where is a good place to get gas north of the river?

How much does it cost?

Recently bought a Lincolne 170 and just using gassless wire at the moment.

Dave,

I have no idea, all I know is that the light comes on and the only error code that comes up is the speed sensor, occasionally there is another one too which I think was the knock sensor?, can't recall as I have only clocked up about 800km in 12 months since buying the outback

I paid $300 to have someone strip down a harness, came with tags on the wires and notes telling which wire to connect to what. Doing it this way was as easy as installing a stereo. My only issue has been that i havn't got a speed sensor, can drive the car around the suburbs for weeks with no issue, ...

Stabbed myself deep up the nostral with a large flat blade screwdriver, it left a flap of skin hanging inside there.....slightly either side and I would have lost an eye.

Can anyone recomend a good thickness aluminium for making a sump guard?

Would 5mm marine grade 5083 do the job, apparently it cant be folded therfore would need to be welded at foldlines.

rob

Can anyone recommend where to buy sheet aluminium (suitable for sump guard) in Perth (prefer North of River)

thanks

rob

stripped down, new seals, valves ground/lapped or whatever you call it, pressure test. no welding required and no facing required

I have a Karcher, great pressure started removing the paint!

In Perth, I had a pair done at Harris Engines in Osborne Park for $500

Seriously you had to wait 3 weeks for the King Springs? I have been told 2 weeks ago they are in stock for Gen 3. So far I have enjoyed my auto, but how do you tell if you have a "VTD rear end"? I have a 2001 H6 auto top of the range (leather and sunroofs, and colour coded bumpers and VDC blah blah ...

I was impressed to see the other morning when you were on Karrinyup Rd that you have a matching orange surf ski!

yep agree they are the yeagerup dunes, been there three times and had a great time!

3/4 into their video when they climb up from the forrest past the sign onto the dune, you can see a large dune out in the distance, this is the dune

Not sure if there is any logic to the following, just noted your comment on checking the battery levels. over 20 years ago I stupidly topped up a battery to the brim, no air space at all and had a similar but much worse power loss. At night it was like driving by candle light and the wipers moved at...

The wheel nuts isn't as silly a suggestion as some may think, it's happened to me too but it was only noticable at low speed, 10-20KM/H. HAPPY NEW YEAR, hope none of you read this before tomorrow as that would be really sad!......... my excuse is that we are in Perth therfore the time difference sti...

Dave, Once when I replaced a front shaft I removed what I think is called the drive plate?.....the bit with the splines in it to recieve the shaft..... I just tightened the bolts up as tight as i could when i put it back together and that wheel would get the shudders and do strange knocking things a...

after installing the boots, I don't recommend leaving the shaft siting in the sun on a hot day while you have lunch before insatlling back in the car.......Had a heap of trouble getting one back in, I believe the temp difference between shaft and hub and the expansion of the shaft made the tollerenc...

hi,

do you know if it is the bumper is the same as a 2003 forrester bumper, i'm not quite sure when the shape changed?

Minor marks won't be an issue I will be getting it painted silver

thanks

rob

I am sure you guys have re-built engines before and know more than me as I have only done three? ....anyhow I will add my two bobs worth....did you bother priming the oil pump and once in the engine bay are you going to pull out the plugs, disable fuel and turn it over till the oil pressure is up? M...

gone quiet here in WA!!!!......when you guys have stopped salivating over Channel 10 ,Victorias Secret..,,,,,.would love to see some more photos
