The first tlme the chk eng. lite came on in my "98" Outback I panicked. In Calif at the time & garage wanted $110.00/ hr. but friend said not to worry. It happened rt aftr I tnkd up in Oregon. Lt cleared after considerable driving but happened again eventually.The cause was from the attendant not tightening the gas cap tight enough. Book states to give it AT LEAST 3 clicks. I've had no more trouble since adhering to this simple rule. Hope it works for you!

When driving your subaru outback 2001 it sounds as if you are dragging a chain Twice it made a loud thudding noise from the front passenger side?

My 2001 Subaru Outback does not have this problem. If it sounds like you are dragging something, look under the car to see if you are dragging something. Take a look at the plastic fender liners to see if one of those has come loose and is in contact with a tire. There is no amount of written advice that can come close to just examining the car to see what is dragging.

How do you change the air conditioning bulb on the 1999 Subaru legacy outback?

The only bulb I can think of for an air conditioner is for the on/off indicator light. They use a special tiny tiny bulb only available through your Subaru dealer and you have to take the heater controls apart. This involves taking much of the console apart and the cables that come from the heater control tend to spring their clips loose and may cause the heater controls to stop working. If you can live with it not working that would be my advice. If you decide to change the bulb be prepared to spend at least an entire afternoon and keep the kids away if you don't want them to hear bad language.
