Like I said, we’ve been buying them for years and I’ve only had to use the warranty once meaning one battery out several didn’t last past the one year warranty. They tend to last just as long or longer than the Walmart batteries I’ve bought. But the point of my original post was my fairly new...

There’s been a place selling reconditioned batteries near me for over 50 years. We’ve bought batteries from them for years. Their batteries used to cost $19.99. Now they cost $49.99 and have a one year warranty. I have one in my 2003 Subaru that’s still running strong after over 6 years. I’ve...

I had a dead battery on a car I don’t drive much. I hooked it up to the NOCO for 12v lead acid and it charged it to the green light and then into maintenance mode and I left it on in the maintain mode. The next day, I noticed it was in charging mode on the second red light, like it was charging...

Really sucks that this happened. Not 100% it’s the NOCO unit and have to see what the results of their tests are but it burned out 2 car batteries and one set of mobility batteries. I have a Battery-tender brand maintainer that has always worked good. I bought the NOCO 2 years ago as a backup...

I hooked up my NOCO Genius 10 to charge and maintain a battery and it ended up overcharging the battery and burning it out. I didn’t know if it was the NOCO 10 or a problem with my battery at first but I tried it on a mobility scooter 12 volt battery and it did the same thing. This is in...

I got mine from Walmart.com for $38. It’s a Vevor brand.

Yep! Funny story: My Dad found this 03 Subaru in 2010 with only 10k miles at a Honda Dealer. We went to this Subaru dealer to buy some accessory and the service manager saw the Honda dealer license bracket and asked my Dad if that was the Legacy Wagon with 10k miles on it? (They must have seen...

I wound up doing the oil change myself with Pennzoil Platinum High Milage and so far no leaks Yeah, between me and my Dad, we’ve owned over Yeah, between me and my Dad, we’ve owned over 10 Subarus is the last 30 years, most of them used, and never had one ever leak.

I cleared the codes and took the car out for a couple of hour long drives the last 2 days and the check engine light went out and it had no codes. In the next few weeks I will bring the car in to be checked. I don’t trust driving it and stopping somewhere and becoming stranded if it won’t start...

I just scanned the car again after about a 10 mile drive and I’ve got 5 codes: P112B, P0503, P1774, P1775, P173B

So there are 43 stored codes!: 2ff6 2f22 cf30 cf31 cf2d 5e06 5e07 d36a d36b d36c 5e5c 5e31 5df0 5e30 5e32 93fb 9408 93d0 a3ac a3a9 931d a567 a0b5 a0b2 a0b0 a86e a12b c914 9cb5 a88d 610f 9e2d 9e31 a06c 9c4a 9c6c e738 e717 9c75 e728 e72c a9ac I called an indy Mini/BMW shop I have used for...

It started right now. So, I waited until the outside temps warmed up. (We had cold and snow last night), hit the start button and it started right up. Really strong smell of gas upon starting. Engine sounds smooth, no rough idle or rough acceleration. I tried this yesterday when it was even...

Yes. 08 Clubman S.

So the n14 engine is a lemon? What are its likely problems? How do I tell if I have an n14 engine? My Dad bought this car new in 2008. He drove it only for pleasure so it only has 35k miles on it. It never has had any issues but it didn’t get driven for a couple of years because of his illness...
