Yes, the ziplock bag thing is real

Daemon Can says:

…because damper door cables never worked properly, right?

Illiterate Hulk says:

Is there a recommend interval or mileage for replacing the PCV valve?

Wyatt Herbivore says:

Holy crap… what a nightmare!

Torsee says:

Maybe Ziplock owns Subaru!

Waiting 3 plus months for a new one.

Wyatt Herbivore says:

The pcv valve shown DOES NOT fit 2011 Subaru Outback’s. Correct part# 11810AA090

Barry Thomas says:

It amazes me that all this stuff had to originally be designed and manufactured to fit around all of the other stuff under the dash.

Kentucky Ranger says:

Lord what a mess…

Rick Rucker says:

This is always a horrible job to do, except for some old pickup trucks.

Mike Hobert says:

Did you change the cabin air filter while you were in there?

Alan Malantic says:

Just did this on my 2010 legacy gt. Wasn't fun but now I don't hear a robot behind my dash that I've been listening to for the past 3 years. what a RELIEF!

Also not sure if this technique works on radio bezels that haven't been off before. But the super easy way I take it off is open that pocket above the HVAC controls, shove my hand in in the pocket, make a fist and pull. Comes out every time no problem

r. owen says:

That was an un-be-leeeeevable amount of work just to replace that piece. Well done! You are a very patient and talented man.

hello mr subaru, So recently i got a flat tire, and replaced it with a tire size of 235/40 R18. All my other tires are 245/40 R18, i had to drive the car around for about 80 miles. (from and to the shop). Have I caused damaged to my car? I have driven only straight streets no curves or anything crazy. may have driven fast a bit as well…. barely thought of this because i haven't had my car for a while and recently got it back from a collision place. I heard its a big no no but how would you know what damage has been done? i know you probably wont see but hopefully someone in the comments can help.

Monkey PunchZ says:

I understand now why there were no previous YouTube videos showing the 2010-14 Legacy Mode Door Actuator Replacement.

ejmagras says:

hats off to you.

Johnny Williams says:

Thoughts on an oil catch can on the new 2.4 turbo. I have searched the u tubes cannot find much on them Subaru specific. Thanks.

Tim Brown says:

This will probably cost you like 600 bucks with the Subaru dealer I’m just guessing.

Mike N says:

Nice job! About how many hours to do the whole thing?

Tim Brown says:

This owner has the same windshield I got too, wonder if she has USAA?

Tim Brown says:

Now is the time to do the passenger airbag recall Robert

Tim Brown says:

Lol how funny I have the same blue barf bag in my glove box!

Jon Schade says:

INSANE….all because of a plastic gear in a plastic actuator…had they made it from metal…last 100 years…such BS, thank you Xi …shame on Japan! (And how many new rattles and squeaks do we hear now?!?!??!)

Tim Brown says:

Thanks Robert this is a great video for our fifth GEN Subaru legacy page on Facebook we usually get a ton of questions how to pull the dash apart the right way and there really isn’t anything on YouTube!

wim0104 says:

also: which of the Vessel Rechargeable Screwdrivers do you prefer: high torque (250rpm), or high speed (1200? rpm)
