Last summer I purchased this 2001 Subaru Outback for $300 and got it back on the road. This video is the first part to its repairs.

Love it. You will too! I just bought a new 2024 Outback -- about $10k less than a Forester. Think I just hit 100 miles on it. Retired and only go to the Dr's office, supermarket and back home. It will outlast me. Got the base model and only added the accessories I wanted from Amazon or eBay (genuine Subaru parts but much less than at dealer).

Awesome, nothing like fixing up something and it runs and sounds great. Sam keep up what doing you are one awesome young lady.

Love how Lena is by your side throughout the whole job. Glad you could get the car back on the road, we need more of them still running and giving good service. Thanks for the upload Sam, take care.

My son-in-law had that generation Outback. It served him well. He now drives a Legacy. My daughter has a '17 Outback, my granddaughter has a '19 Crosstrek, and I have a '20 Outback. We're a Subie family. 😀 Just be aware that your model year was among the years that Subaru was having head gasket issues. I'd be willing to guess that over 200k, they have probably been replaced in your car.

Brilliant video, Sam. It's always worth changing the fluids & filters on a new to you car along with coolant to make it last that little bit longer

@mds2465 Месяц назад

Great car! Main things to look for on those are torn CV axle boots, exhaust leaks, head gaskets, automatic transmissions. It's kind of hit or miss on all of those things! That being said, my mother has been driving Subaru Outbacks since 1994 and I liked this body style.

@wilmaburrgooch981 Месяц назад

Looks good that Subaru, I love them we bought one for 1,700 rode it 17 years as work car was wagon it had almost two hundred thousand one wonder and old man wreaked I tipped it upside down in creek . Best during car with power .

@BillySBC Месяц назад

Pretty sure the Subaru's that year had the boxer motor where they were known to blow head gaskets, so might want to keep an eye on antifreeze leaks or antifreeze consumption or oil in the antifreeze. They were good cars overall but they did have that notorious head gasket problem. But for $300 bucks, wow good buy Sammy.

@brianmcintyre6407 28 дней назад

Youre right. Too bad they didn't check the cylinder head gaskets for oil leaks when the car was lifted off the ground. Those engines, I have a 2009 Forester, primarily leak oil from the bottom of those gaskets. On my car you see the oil starting to seep from them on the bottom where the cylinder head meets the block. I think the bigger issue they face now are the bearings and steering components. My 09 sat for over a year, needed all new bearings, lower control arms, sway bar bushings, end links and the preventative timing belt change, just to get up and running reliably and safely. All easy fixes.

@tranquillitydysfunction8142 Месяц назад

Great video, I have fond memories of tapes at the beginning of my driving life. When I got myself a CD autochanger it seemed like science fiction. I used to love working on my cars, I felt quite nostalgic watching you work with such diligence on an older car. Thanks for sharing

@jts9807 Месяц назад

Congratulations on your new car! Nice job tuning it up.

@CerebralAilment Месяц назад

Those are great cars - Rust head gaskets and timing belts seem to be the only things that kill them. When ever I saw one at the JY I would snag the rubber mat out of the rear for laying on in the door yard.

@samanthaweber6932 Месяц назад

I replaced the timing belt and haven't had any issues with the head gasket although oil is seeping out from somewhere...

@YR7A Месяц назад

@@samanthaweber6932 With the salt on the roads that oil leak might actually increase the usable lifetime of the vehicle.

@PowerTom286 Месяц назад

Changing the oil, oil filter, air filter and gasoline filter would not be a bad idea too, Sam! And check the gear/transmission and every differential oil if possible too. Is the brake fluid still ok? Tom 😎

I see those Outbacks here in NE Texas that people have lifted enough to put good all terrain tires on and they actually look cool.

@mikeh2520 Месяц назад

You should consider changing the timing belt because if that breaks that kind of engine will have the pistons banging into the valves and ruin the engine. I had an Impreza and that is exactly what happened to mine.

@albertomenendezsuarez9297 Месяц назад

Enhorabuena por la compra de tu " nuevo" coche. Subaru me parece una compañía japonesa de autos fiables. Y 300$ me parece un precio estupendo. También lo del radio cassette me parece algo entrañable. Por otra parte y dado el alto kilometraje del coche, te recomendaría un cambio de aceite, tanto de motor como de transmisión y de diferenciales. Así como el líquido de frenos, refrigerante, y por supuesto hacerle la distribución. Con todo eso creo que cuidándolo como sueles hacer, ese coche te durará otras 200.000 millas más. Gracias por compartirlo, saludos.

That particular year, they are known to blow head gaskets at around. 200,000 and it’s motor out to change them, it’s a fault with the kind of gaskets Subaru used, but they never admitted to it, it goes right up to the 2010 models.

Lucky on that transmission. I've had vehicles in the past that sit about that long and wouldn't move because the valves in the transmission became stuck in place over time. I'd get another from the salvage yard and same thing with it. Of course they might have improved the quality of fluids nowadays that won't get sticky gummy in tight places.

@OnTheRocks71 Месяц назад

I've certainly seen rustier cars that's for sure. I decided to let go of a Ford at around the 15 year mark because the floor and front subframe had begun to move on to the afterlife and the thing just wasn't safe anymore. Michigan winters and salt. blah. Anyways, I've always liked these late 90's and 2000's subarus. Very smartly styled and tons of character. For a while I lusted after the mid-late 2000's Legacy spec.B.

@Transit_Biker Месяц назад

These older outbacks got about 20 mpg new. By contrast, the 2021 outback gets about 28 mpg & has a ton of extremely useful safety features that were not standard on most cars in 2001. I would also mention that most people do not have the tools or a workspace to do any type of work like this on their own & things start to degrade and become unreliable and parts unavailable the older a vehicle is. It’s an extreme simplification to assume that everyone is going to put on some overalls and grab a wrench and buy parts with money they may not have & that may be better going towards a down payment. There’s also the matter of insurance companies & coverage for older vehicles.
