August 27, 201411 yr Author one of my work collegues heard itin the vine apparently if you dont it could cease up
August 27, 201411 yr only time I could see that being needed was if you were driving in sand all the time but your bearings would need replacing before hand. I would be interested to see any internet sites with that statement if your mate has them
August 27, 201411 yr Author Hmmm you sure it wasnt Oil change as thats recommended at 5k nah hes defo said diff need a rebuild as for servicing tom wood subaru recommends Intervals and Recommended Services Oil Change Service (every 3,750 miles) Minor Service (every 7,500 miles) Intermediate Service I (every 15,000 miles) Major Service I (30,000 and 90,000 miles) Major Service II (60,000 and 120,000 miles) Timing Belt Service (105,000 miles)
August 27, 201411 yr is this a **** take? diff rebuild every 5,000 miles????? don't think anyone would buy a subaru if you needed to pay for a diff rebuilding twice a year

August 27, 201411 yr Don't worry mate we all got to start somewere ...I've heard all sorts of stories about subarus ,mostly from Honda guys, wishing for boost
August 27, 201411 yr Author No this isn't a wind up I'm asking to see if anyone has heard of this, I'm not a !Removed! mechanic
August 27, 201411 yr Make sure you change the ( INERTIAL DAMPERS ) every 10ooo miles though ..........
August 27, 201411 yr Author When I do get my own I'll get her serviced cambelt done and everything checked
August 27, 201411 yr gampla, an average car does 10k a year, do you think anyone would buy a subaru if you had to pay £100's every 6 months for a diff rebuild? (honest question) i haven't seen oil change recommendations as low as 3,750 miles before, usually 6k miles or 6 months on the classics and 10k miles or 12 months on the new age good idea to have a full service done (by a garage that you trust), when you have the cam belt done make sure they change the pulley's too
August 27, 201411 yr Good,idea ,I think there is a buyers guide on here ,might be worth having a look through to help out abit mate..
August 27, 201411 yr Interesting that the service schedule for the rear diff oil only says that it should be inspected every 30,000 miles. Not changed. I can't help thinking that if you're going to go to all the trouble of inspecting it than you might as well change it. Remember when you inspect your diff oil (or gearbox oil) you are not looking for colour change as transmission oil doesn't change colour when it goes off... You need to smell it! The stronger the smell, the older it is.
