Dash Removal Help
sea#3 replied to JT95's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
You have to pop the defroster grill (by windsheild ) and take out the two bolts that hold the dash to the firewall Hope this helps SEA#3 -
DTC P0440 — EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM MALFUNCTION DTC DETECTING CONDITION: Two consecutive driving cycles with fault TROUBLE SYMPTOM: Gasoline smell There is a hole of more than 1.0 mm (0.04 in) dia. in evaporation system or fuel tank. DTC P0446 — EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM VENT CONTROL LOW INPUT DTC DETECTING CONDITION: Two consecutive driving cycles with fau I would check the the vent valve connector first there maybe corrosion at the connector causing it not to operate and trip the P0440 code The vent valve is under the lower right rear quarter panel , just above the carbon canister (black box ) For the leak you will want to check the gas cap for proper seal on the fill tube ,also check the carbon canister for any damage . Sometimes if you back into a snow pile that is iced up and crack the canister which causes a leak Hope this helps SEA#3 (PS the car is a manual transmission , right? )

Click on the link http://www.type2.com/library/engineg/leaktst.htm The reason the engine doesn't overheat when you gut the thermosats is you don't give the air a chance to get trapped in the top cross over pipe ,which goes into the heater core which eventualy goes back to the pump and causes an air lock in pump/cooling system SEA#3

There is an updated bearing for your model that goes from a roller bearing style to a tapered roller style bearing There are a couple of thing you have to watch out for 1) Rust on the seal surface of the outer c/v, if it's got rust pits in the seal surface it will allow water to get into the bearing and cause it to fail 2) Roundness of the spindle bore, must be true/round so that it doesn't deform the outer part of the bearing 3) Replacing the bearing with a good wheel bearing grease (like hohieu said) is very necessary, the factory grease sucks SEA#3

The first thing you should look at is see if there are any stored codes in the TCM There is a possiblity that the Inhibitor swtich is defective .That it is going open when HOT The reverse lights go through the same switch Do the lights on the clusterever light up when the trany behaves normaly? The bulbs in the cluster should be LED's . So if they are burnt you will have to replace the Cluster assembly . SEA#3
