Help...is my mechanic ripping me off?
I have a 1999 Subaru legacy outback. A few weeks ago it over heated. It stalled and coolant dripped out. The oil was low, even though I'd had it changed and filled about 2500 miles prior. The mechanic said it needed a new thermostat, a new oil pump and oil pan. That cost about 600.00 They also said to get the AC recharged, so I did at 150.00 Two...

you are getting "jerked around" my friend, taken right to the cleaners. Do the words "ripped off" come to mind?

That means you are misfiring. If it is continuing I would stop driving it and get it in to be looked at as soon as possible. A misfire can be something small but if it's doing it continuously, you could be doing some damage.

Will Subaru's Coolant Conditioner resolve my problem?
I have a '02 Legacy Outback 2.5L with 89K. I am sure it has the phase II engine.

Why should I also consider these? X

Although a number of the more upscale compact SUVs might be a substitute for the 2008 Subaru Outback, all of the rugged wagon alternatives are somewhat pricier.

The Volvo XC70 costs just a few thousand more than a fully loaded Outback, yet it has a much more refined, distinctive interior that also feels a bit roomier.

The Volvo also excels in safety and safety features.

The Audi Avant wagon model is another possibility that's about the same size as the Outback, though it comes only in V-6 form and is priced at close to $50,000.

And the Passat wagon is a spacious and safe alternative; its 2.0T engine is both more fuel-efficient and more powerful than the Outback's standard engine.

But in order to get the 4Motion all-wheel-drive system on the Passat, you need to pay many thousands more, for a sticker price of almost $40,000.
