I'm having trouble determining whether I have the proper automatic transaxle fluid level. I've read the instructions on how to check it (car on level surface, engine warmed up, momentarily select each gear ending in park, engine idling), but I can't seem to get a consistent reading.

I thought it looked low initially (barely above the cold mark when warmed up), so I added a...

I recently upgraded the stereo in my 2003 Outlander to one of JVC's double DIN DVD units. I originally had the premium stereo in the Outlander with the tweeters, amp, all that stuff - and it sounded pretty good. I decided to upgrade so that I could have a satellite radio deck, and play DVDs. After upgrading, the sound is just awful. It sounds like everything is high-mid range - NO bass at all....

Hi, I'm from NZ and have a 2003 Airtrek Turbo. Does anyone out there know how to get more bhp and torque out of these engines? I'm aiming for about 300bhp and 300 lbft of torque. Probably need to change the turbo (change compressor wheel or bolt on evo 7 turbo) but the complicated bit is getting the ECU re-mapped. Has anyone done this? Appreciate any feed back?

The center diff for turbo should be the viscous. It is all time 50/50 in normal conditions. But how much does it change the front/rear ratio and in what conditions?

I have hear something like 30/70 in some occasions. Is it true?

I have an O4 Outlander with 55,000 miles on it and the AC has quite working. The compressor does not engage and after a few moments the AC light on the switch starts blinking. I am thinking maybe it just needs a recharge, but it seems a bit odd since the car is only 2 years old. Anybody else had this problem?

Hi all, just bought an 03 airtrek turbo, but the ex-owner lost his owner manual. anyone knows where i can find the owner's manual on the net? Thanks a lot!

hey all! i was wondering if anybody knew where to get a service manual or even one on cd(more convenient)? or does anyone have one because i have a few questions about rear suspension specs.

another thing i'm trying to find out that's not in the manual is the rear strut rod diameter.

i'd appreciate anything you guys can dig up. thanks!

Hello.

I got my outlander turbo this spring. My problems began in August. When i start the engine and it´s cold i hear a clatter / noise from the engine.

They have also replaced the wires from the gearshifter...

Hi room,

I've just got my AIRTREK 2.0 Turbo. However, while I was trying the top speed on a highway, the speed cuts at about 190-195KM/H (the speedo meter dial max at 180 km/h).

Is there anyone here tried to lift the speed cut / block before. I think I have read it somewhere where you could add some electronics to the ECU to lift it.

Please advise.

Hello ... just wondering if anyone knows where I can find a rear bumper cover for

Thanks for any/all suggestions.

Does anyone knows, if there is any similarity with EVO-s rear diff? Probably not with new ones, but 5 or 6 perhaps?

Or maeby have some other information for the offers of rear LSD? Does the Airtrek turbo has one?

Hi all,

Althought my Airtrek is sold, but still want too share it with you guys.

poping noise was came off from the front springs,
put another layer of insulators to the front springs, the noise will be gone.

I've tried Tein coilovers on my Airtrek too, it was a little bumpier than
Kyb+stock springs, but no noise at all.

Cheers.

I have a newspaper route that I throw using my Outlander and there are many stops that I need to get out of my vehicle on my route.

Does anyone have an AWD outlander with a manual trans? I'm not sure if that was an option, but would be interested to know. Is the transmission geared any better than the Auto for highway cruising? I don't like being at 2800rpm's at 70 mph, but I know the car doesn't supply enough power realistically to have an overdrive, so that's out. Any feedback?

Hi all,

I've have been having problem with my OEM CD player in my 03 Outlander. Specifically, any thing about mid-level volume I get this scratching sound that is driving all of us nuts.
Thinking it was a tweeter I spoke to this guy that replaces them and he pointed me out that the since that noise was coming from the all the speakers, it was probably the stereo.

Hello all. A fellow Outlander owner from another forum wanted to know if I could get a stiffer rear sway bar made from RRM.

Remember though, I have a US Outlander and am not aware of any differences in the Euro or...
