Subaru - Legacy :: Raw Fuel Smell Out Of Tail Pipe / Check Engine Light Intermittently Comes On
When I turn the key all the way over, I hear only one click, and no engine sound. Playing with park or neutral positions do nothing. Battery and connections are good. I am getting a raw fuel smell out of the tail pipe after it finally starts. The check engine light intermittently comes on, by now it is mostly on.
My guesses are: fuel pump/relay problems, starter/connection problems.
Subaru - Legacy - Exhaustsystems :: 2004 - Exhaust Odor With Harder Acceleration
Can't get a solution to this nagging odor in my car. the dealership (that I do trust) claims they cannot find a gasoline leak or an exhaust system leak. The check engine light is NOT 'on' and the car runs well for a car w/ 139K on it. I notice it briefly gets worse w/ harder acceleration. I'm driving w/ the windows partially open, which is way 'too' cool to suit me. Could this be an emissions system problem not tripping a sensor for the computer?
View 4 RepliesSubaru - Outback :: Potential Exhaust Leak - Smoke Coming From A Pipe Underneath
Recently, my car has been sounding louder than usual. It seems to be coming from under the vehicle, and when I checked, there was smoke coming from a pipe underneath. My best guess is that the exhaust is leaking. It kind of looks like there's a disconnect here....
View 3 RepliesPrius (Gen 2) :: 2009 Toyota Lost Power After Hitting Tiny Hole
I figure out it is because of my coolant pump; however, I hit a huge pothole about a month ago during the morning time, and the entire car lost power. I was assuming it just rattled something, but then the other day after I was driving for about 2 hours, I hit a tiny hole and the car lost power.
However, when the car lost power, it started making this weird rubbing noise as if the timing belt had went off track or something. I'm not sure if that's even possible, but I pulled over, turned the car off, and turned the car back on. Everything was fine after that and I continued to drive for a few more hours.
I do not think the transaxle fluid was ever changed at the 60k interval and I just hit 100k two nights ago. I decided I'm not going to Uber anymore until I get this all taken care of. I need this car to last as long as possible, and I am definitely worried about the ATF or whatever because it's 40k past when it's supposed to be changed.
Ford Exhaust :: 2005 F250 - Removing The Cat Converter Off The Pipe?
i've got an 05 f250 SD 5.4 v8. i had a bad manifold and decided to get headers. i figured i would get the most performance of of them if i did high flow cats too. oh and i also already have an exhaust on it. the only cats i can find for it are universal fit. my question is how would i be able to get the cats off of the factory pipes without damaging the pipes or original cats? plus the pipe with the flange end is a really small piece. would i be able to get it off just by heating it up?

View 4 RepliesSubaru - Legacy :: 2005 - Intermittent Vibration / Steering Wheel Going Slightly Back / Forth
In the past month our 2005 Subaru Legacy has had a vibration(intermittently) where the steering wheel going slightly back/forth 60-70 MPH. I understand a wheel balance can cause this. However intermittently does not make sense. My wife simply speeds up to 80MPH and it disappeared or less than 60. Any clues?
View 2 RepliesSubaru - Legacy - Sensors - Starters :: 2005 - Starter Engage / Disengage At Start Up?
This past monday morning I got in my 05 Legacy GT w/ 82,000 miles. When I turned the key it acted as if the starter engaged for a second then disengaged and made the typical motor winding sound. I tried it several more times with the same result. So I reluctantly called my local repair shop and had it hauled over for what I thought was possibly a bad starter. The mechanic went out to check it to see what it was doing and when he did, it started right up…..!! He said that when it started it ran as if it had been flooded for a minute or two then cleared up. Throughout the day he drove it around and started it about 20 times and said it “appears” to be ok. It’s a small shop that I trust with my other cars but they don’t have the tech to pull codes on a subaru. So my question is, what was the cause of this issue? Neutral Switch? Cam Sensor? or a Fluke?

Actually developed a crack and subsequent leak in a pipe running lengthwise, so assume the factory weld over the years went bad. Since it would be a weld overhead, wonder what method would be best? Would oxy acetylene work or mig? I don't have a tig so that not an option for me.

View 3 RepliesCamry :: 2006 - Sound Like A Hole In The Exhaust At Higher Speed
I have a 2006 Camry (manual transmission) w 165K miles.
Within the last year or so, it has gotten louder, more noticeable at higher speeds. Almost sounds like a hole in the exhaust. However, shifting into lower or higher gears doesn't change the tone of the noise. Taking it out of gear completely doesn't have an effect. However driving faster does. So I'm pretty sure it is drive train related .
Does this sound like a wheel bearing issue?
Suburu - Forester :: Leak / Hole In Exhaust - Car Loud During Acceleration
I have a 2000 Suburu Forester the has a hole in the exhaust. I noticed today, the car became very loud during acceleration.
I plan on getting a new car in the next few months, but I was wondering if I could temporarily fix this problem with a sealant or something like that for the time being?? I included a picture of the leak.
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Engine Sounded Like There Was A Hole In Exhaust At Highway Speed
I was driving to work last night and too many things went wrong simultaneously leaving my MK4 stranded.
2000 Jetta 2.0
185,000
Automatic
No check engine lights or warnings
-The engine sounded like there was a hole in the exhaust at highway speed. There wasn't because it's a new system
-Low coolant light came on. The flange connector at the firewall was torn off resulting in a stream of coolant pouring out
-It was dark but the engine almost seemed cockeyed by a degree or two
-Upon parking, the motor. sounded "clunky". Driving forward seemed OK. When shifting into reverse there was a pronounced clunk and the drivetrain wasn't happy.
-I turned the ignition off and that was the last time the car started. It turns over now but will not fire up. The video I attached is my last attempt at starting it before giving up.
My car is my job and I'm at a total loss on how to proceed???

View 10 RepliesSubaru - Legacy :: 2000 - Radiator Fan Does Not Always Come On?
I drive a 2000 Subaru Legacy and the radiator fan does not always come on. This sometimes makes the car run hot but has not (yet) put it into the "danger zone" overheating. It seems to happen if the car is in stop and go traffic and it's hot outside. If I'm driving down the highway or the weather is cool it doesn't happen.
I checked the fuses (yes, even the ones under the hood) and they are all fine. I am just curious if there is a sensor that could be the problem or if it is more likely the thermostat. It didn't quite fit the descriptions I found for thermostat but I'm a broke college student trying to keep an old car on the road, not a Subaru mechanic
Passat - Volkswagen :: 2007 - Hole In Converter / Brakes Won't Working / Bad Exhaust System?
I have a 2007 Passat turbo wagon and my cat converter got a hole in it the other day. I drove in morning and it was just noisy otherwise fine. My wife took it in afternoon and almost didn't make it home. Could hardly make it up a hill and brakes had to be applied to floor. Anti lock would vibrate but not very responsive to stopping. Was towed to local mechanic next day and he thinks problems are related. Could the computer cause a breakdown of the brakes due to bad exhaust system? He says he can't find ant leaks in brake system. He is waiting for the cat converter to come in to replace and hopes brakes will work again.
