Hi everyone,

I just joined after owning my 2000 Outback limited wagon since September. Picked it up with 148K and now have 150K and change. Love the leather seats, dual sunroofs, and my black lab likes the room in back. =)

Looking for ways to fix:

1) 5th gear popping out
2) heated seats (neither side seems to work)
3) mirror defrosters - button doesn't light up, pass side def doesn't work.
4) recommended tune up parts/brands

Planning to Seafoam the engine this weekend & see how it goes! Does anyone know a reliable Subaru mechanic in the Tampa Bay area? I'm in Clearwater, and wiling to go anywhere in Pinellas county for the right shop.

Cheers!
Joe

Welcome along!

Sounds like you have some electrical issues going on - I would check for blown fuses.

For tune up parts, I recommend OEM stuff, although I use Bosch 3310 oil filters.
