Re: 2009 328ci SULEV Fuel Pump [shipo]: by teebone1958 on Tue Nov 18 07:01:50 PST 2008; The key point is that the SULEV engines have the fuel pump\filter SEALED in the gas tank. I have no problem with the pump being in the tank, the problem I have is that it is non serviceable w\o replacing the entire tank. The SULEV engines are shipped and sold in NY, CA, VT, MA, and ME. This engine setup includes a fuel pump and filter which are sealed into the gas tank which makes them unserviceable without the replacement of the $7995 dollar gas tank. I beleive that this is a horrible design which becomes the problem of the consumer. If you beleive this is a good design, I will have to respectfully disagree. In essence, I do not want to own a car which has a single mechanical point of failure which can cause a 8000 dollar repair (w\o labor). As otherwise, I like the car (and the BMW make), I want to make sure the next car I buy does not have such a bad design (to be clear, I am ok with the pump\filter in the tank as long as it can be replaced if it goes (as they do sometimes especially with the introduction of ethanol in the fuel). Therefore I have two questions: 1. Does anyone know if the 2008 or 2009 SULEV engines have a non serviceable fuel pump\filter? 2. Does a dealership in a SULEV state have to sell the SULEV engine only (or can they sell a non SULEV engine? From what I understand, the non SULEV engine does not have the pump\filter SEALED into the gas tank. In other words it is replaceable. Also, I do not beleive in 'lifetime' filters.

This is the 8th Annual running where a group of Subaru enthusiasts from all over the TriState area take a 3 day long trip covering about 48hrs of driving overall from Subaru Headquarters in NJ to the wintery snow of the Adirondacks. This year we are planning on about 900 miles of highways, backroads and no roads with dinners and partys every night. We also will be visiting SOA headquarters in Cherry Hill, NJ we will also be visiting Subaru Distributors Corp, the company that distributed most of our cars, and Vermont Sports Car where they build rally cars for SOA.

Re: M35 RWD and winter driving/tires [bobm35]: by ghstudio on Wed Nov 05 07:58:17 PST 2008; I have driven both a miata and a BMW 3 series during snowy winters commuting about 30 min each way in Connecticut. Both cars are reputed to be poor in the snow and ice. I never had a problem....but the key is to put four good snow tires on the car...not 2, not studded, not heavily worn and built to grip in the snow/ice with soft rubber. At the time I used Blizzaks. Of course you have to be careful not to spin the wheels and keep your speed even. Of course 4wd cars are better in the snow......however, I have also driven Jeep Cherokees and Grand Cherokees to/from Vt and it's the only car that I lost control in on an interstate....in fact there were a few days with black ice that many jeeps spun out...I was far from alone. Nothing helps in black ice...and actually a 4wd car is more likely to spin out because you are over confident. In heavy snow, a Jeep is just wonderful.... My view is that 4 good new winter tires make any car manageable in the snow.

Re: rear differential in automatic Forester [xwesx]: by openeyes on Fri Oct 24 14:48:02 PDT 2008; Purchase date was Oct 01 so that five year (aka end of warranty regardless of mileage) was Oct 06. For the record, never towed anything, never climbed anything, just standard basic driving on paved roads... but the transmission still reached the brink of failure.

Re: rear differential in automatic Forester [wcwilliams]: by openeyes on Fri Oct 24 08:20:42 PDT 2008; I too have been satisfied with my Forester, but needing transmission or differential work at such low mileages also has me wondering if I should trust buying another one if Subaru considers this normal wear(?). The Subaru Dealer is replacing my deteriorated transmission with a remanufactured one. Subaru headquarters negotiated to covering 1/2; while truly appreciated, means my cost is over $1870. How is it that a Forester properly maintained per their specs at one of their dealerships can need a automatic transmission replaced at 46,000 miles? Is it really just several of us with "bad luck"?

Tire Recommendations: by khallock on Fri Oct 24 06:58:16 PDT 2008; I need new tires on my 2005 LLBean Outback. The tire size is 225/55R17. It has the original tires on it now and they are completely bald. I am changing to winter tires in another 4 weeks and then in the spring will need to purchase new tires - any recommendations? Obviously something that will last and is safe. I always change over to snow tires in the winter. Thanks! Kristen
