Subaru Tribeca - Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals

Have you by any chance added any LED bulbs to it anywhere? Climate Control and lighting is controlled by the BCM (body control module), and strange anomalies can happen if none OEM LED replacement bulbs are added to the system. The computer network doesn't understand the feedback caused by LED Control Modules. https://www.google.com/search?q=auto+electrician+near+me ..

ALL ELSE WORKS CAR DRIVES?, HEATER AND A/C WORKS OK?

Sorry I can't tell you where or how but it is invariably fitted somewhere in the heater air intake in order to keep it cool as during use on the lower speeds it can become very hot. Most are fitted high in the intake but some are fitted near the motor where the intake narrows to take advantage of the higher velocity air flow.

you can try out some guide from here reliable-store they also provide live chat feature for instant help and it's very useful

for heavy machinery cars etc. luckily there are many websites that can help you repair for eg site like reliable-store is very active in this.. instant help, emails and all that's fantastic

hello u will find a lot of wiring diagrams and circuit diagrams help books and stuff like this at reliable-store the girl in the chat box can help u instantly... im a frequent buyer there since Im a mechanic so take help from there

Yes, 86K is unexpectedly soon for a valve job. 200K is more likely. You've replaced the usual suspects, so its time to look further. Valve (or head gasket) problems can be identified with a dry and wet compression test AND a leakdown test. You really don't want to pay for a valve job (i.e both heads, gaskets and timing belt while you're there...) if its not needed. Other things to look for are vacuum leaks and exhaust leaks (odd effects can with these). Watch the coolant level: if its going down, its either leaking or burning == head gasket on the way out. Burnign coolant also creates while smoke. If the gas economy is way off, the catalytic converter could be damaged (unburned gas in the exhaust wrecks the cat).

Misfire in cylinders 1, 3, 5.

You need a dealer, this is way beyond an amateur repair, comprendo?

No, it is not normal. Most people use only one foot when driving, no matter the conditions. However, in this situation I think you may be able to recover this issue by keeping your left foot on the brake, put the car in gear, LIGHTLY apply the gas then slowly remove your foot from the brake. However, I would strongly recommend that you take your vehicle to a shop that can service your transmission and see what they say. It could be just a simple adjustment.

Yes, fabrication of the necessary adapter brackets are required, and this will include welding.

It is not uncommon for us to think a shop had something to do with a car problem. Most of the time they do a really goo job without causing any damage to other parts of your car. For a simple oil change there's nothing in your car near the AC components that can be affected. If your AC is discharged then just pickup a can of R134 refrigerant with the gauge and hose included and charge the AC. It should be simple as the connector will tipically only fit the Low Pressure port of your AC. if it needs refrigerant just add it until you reach the green area of the gauge. If it does not need it then you should have it check as t could be one of many parts that could need replacement.

if manual ( not specified) reverse gear is a spur cut gear and will be noisy when engaged gets worse if the gear has been engaged inadvertently or slashed by mistake as small pieces of the teeth get chipped off and the result is a noisy reverse operation nothing to worry about til it starts to clunk as you are going in reverse

I would be concerned that this issue is serious. Given all the parts that have been replaced already. First get a leak down test performed to narrow down a possible cause. Both sides of the engine will require this test. this will help determine a course of action . Here is a list of possible causes: 1. a plugged or restricted catalytic converter(s) 2. carbon buildup on the valves causing them to not fully close 3. issues with the active valve control system 4. less likely but possible the timing chain might have skipped

Should not be hard to find. Simular to your engine, it will be on the transmission housing somewhere in reach.

Hi! I've owned a 2013 Tribeca for over a year now. I purchased a bluetooth OBDII reader and use Torque Lite on my android smart phone to read and understand the codes. You can also clear off logged faults. I was on the freeway this summer and got a worrisome transmission error code, checked the code, cleared it, turned my car off and back on, everything was fine. If someone recently changed your sparkplugs, they may not have re-attached something properly. You can try removing the negative/black cable off your battery for 10 seconds then re-attach it securely and see if that resets the code at all. If not, take it back to the mechanic that changed your plugs. ELM327 Bluetooth OBD2 OBDII Car Code Reader Diagnostic Scanner For Android...

Take it back but go to the dealer, these are all related codes and need a Subaru expert to diagnose the cause.

I would need to hear the noise to make any guess as to what is the cause.source. Sorry.
