Okay, so ever since I got my Subaru GL in 2006, I've been having problems.
Last year around this time, we noticed that the distributor cap was sending
faulty signals to the sparkplugs, and got it fixed. Along with that, we had
a $1200 tune-up.

And as of late, several new problems have occured.

Every once in a while, it won't start. It makes a clicking noise, and the
voltage goes down on my battery, but nothing happens. After about 40 trys
(or so it seems), the car will start up. I'm not sure if it's the battery
with a low charge, or the starter with a faulty relay.

Also, the coolant has been mixed in with the engine oil (which we think a bad
modulator valve may be causing), for when I check the oil, it's a chocolatey-
brown (and only a few weeks old too). We noticed a leak today, so I'm not
sure as to what exactly is going on.

And to top it all off, my transmission fluid IS leaking. I haven't seen any
stains, but I've dumped a few quarts into it in the past few weeks and it's
still bone dry. Again, this apparently may be caused from a bad modulator
valve, but I'm not car expert.

If anyone can help me with any of these problems, I would dearly appreciate
it. Thank you so much.

The check engine light (CEL) is on as well as the light on the cruise
control button. The cruise control button light flashes whether the
botton is pressed on not. This is the first time this has happened on
my 2004 Subaru Outback Sedan LTD with 60,400 miles. Any suggestion as
to what is wrong and a solution? Thanks.

I have a 2001 Outback Wagon limited and I need to replace the o2
sensors. I bought the rear one first and I subscribed to
alldatadiy.com which has printable diagrams.

I was wondering 2 things. First, has anyone done this and perhaps
taken pictures? the diagrams arent that great. And second, any
advice?

Thanks

I can't operate the door locks with the remote if the outside temperature is
below 22 deg C but OK if a warm to hot day say above 26 deg C. I have
checked the battery in the 2 keys we have but they are OK. The receiver
seems to be temperature sensitive. Has any body any suggestions?
