Piston slap
It can be due to a wearing off of the crankshaft, possible fault or damage to the small end or big end bearings of the piston connecting rod.
ALso the timing must be checked to be in order.

Easiest way to d.i.y brake
you will need to push the piston of the caliper in using a c-clamp or suitable tool from your local parts store. Let me know if you need anything else.
Legacy, Outback & Baja
- Loosen the wheel nuts.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Raise and support the vehicle safely.
- Remove the tire and wheel.
- Remove the caliper bolt. Do not disconnect the fluid line.
- Remove the disc brake pads.
To install:
- Installation is the reverse of the removal procedure.
- Apply a thin coat of Molykote M7439 (part number 003602001) or equivalent to the pad clip.
- Apply a thin coat of Molykote AS-880N (part number K0779YA010) or equivalent to the contact surface between the pad and shim.
- Check the brake fluid level, correct as required.
- Bleed the hydraulic system, as required.

Where is the cabin air
the cabin air is located behind the glove box. there are about 6-8 phillips screws that secures the glove box. once the box is removed, you will see a rectangular access cover that flips open to the filter.

Can someone please tell me
sounds like broken contacts in the indicator arm. They are only very thin so can break and stay shorted out putting the indicators on. You will probably find there is a short of some king in and around the steering column behine the cowling, but I would check out the indicator switch first. Is it loose to use? you havent got a handbag hung on it? (sorry just a thought, but it has been known) Hope that helps.

I am having a few problems on my 02 subaru outback
humming could be wheel bearings - jack car up and spin wheels - they should feel and sound smooth. Grab top and bottom of tyre and try and move backwards and forwards, if it does - whell bearing shot or needs tightening.
Transmission noise could be a driveshaft or gearbox mount being worn / broken. Jack up and move all these bits about and llok / hear for movement and you'll find the mount.

I cant locate the fuel
Hi,
The fuel filter is inside the tank of your car. This is located under the passenger seat in the back.
It is just a small filter inside the fuel tank.
Happy Motoring

Have a 2002 Outback that hesitates when it's
its probably the knock sensor! thats what happened to mines as well... its a common problem with this car.. the part costs 100.00 and all you need to change it is a wrench! :)
the only sure way to know tho is to get a diagnostic which can be done for free at autozone or sears :)

Hi. Can someone tell me
It is probably a bad alternator. The alternator in my 2001 outback 3.0 went out completely last year and when I bought a replacement remanufactured one both of these lights would come on periodically. I went back to Pep Boys several times until they finally exchanged it with a new one and the problem went away. I never broke down or had the car not start while this was happening though. I would recommend paying the $400+ dollars for the subaru original alternator over the $125 Remanufactured though. It could save you much more in the long run as I think the bad alternator has had other ill effects on my car's electrical system.

Hi. On a 2002 Subaru
I'll give it a shot. This is my theory on what has happened..
It sounds as though one of the belts, (actually I think it's just one large one) has broken. The belt would have been attached to the alternator and the power steering, those could go out at the same time. The smell would be the burning rubber of the belt. It is possible that the broken piece of belt flapping around could have damaged a component in the brake system. He will have more problems if he keeps driving. I would have the car towed to a garage. I would also advise that he get a recommendation from one of the locals in a restaurant as to who an honest mechanic in the area so that he is not taken unfair advantage of.
I hope I've helped.
Best Regards,
Mark

Will the valves will connect with the piston if
I'm assuming you meant if the timing belt broke would the pistons hit your valves? 2 parts to this, #1 if your belt just broke you should be fine, #2 if your belt skipped time significantly (highly improbable) only then would your internal components have a chance of hitting each other from components trying to open and close at improper times. This could damage both intake/exhaust valves, other valve train components and even damage the head of your pistons.
