It works better than round-up that's for sure! haha... And some shops take it in because you can take it and measure the PH level in it and put additives beck into it so it can be reused
-
Do a voltage drop test across both the grounds and the positive sides... If you have a volt meter though
-
Anyone ever done a timing chain on a front wheel drive Cadillac? talk about a pain in the rump roast, you have to drop the whole front sub frame off with the tranny and engine still attached then when you have to time it back back that's a whole chore by itself.... give me a Subaru any day to work on, when ever a Subaru comes into the shop where I work I always hop on it
-
my 98' Impreza with the 2.2 has an EGR
-
My 98' Impreza had some torque bind going on, so I changed the tranny fluid today and it was differently due, but I guess that's what 95,xxx miles does to it with the original fluid in her....It sure did fix that torque bind though!!!
-
Someone is on the wrong forum to be bashing Subaru's.... Nothing like walking right into the lions den.. I've had 2 lego's and an impreza and loved all three of them
-
Putting in a cabin filter would eliminate the problem in the future though
-
I would hit up the yards, but New York State just loves to use salt so much, so chances are they are all rotted well, and thanks
-
It just burned the honeycomb out of it so the downstream oxygen sensor sensed that it wasn't doing it's job, so I just made a dummy o2 sensor to get the light to go out...it ran fine just the cat was burnt up and could not do it's job
-
Make sure you get the timing belt kit with all of the idler pulleys, tensioner, belt, and waterpump. Since you have it apart I would do the crank and cam shaft seals, along with a new thermostat since you'll have the water pump out, it's much easier, I always get the gates timing belt kit and the stant X-stat thermostat....oh yeah and don't forget to pull the oil pump off and tighten down the backing screws and use red locktite on them, and obviously get a complete oil pump gasket set
-
Does anyone know where I could get the pressure hose for the power steering for my 1998 Impreza?
-
Loved my 2001 legacy with the 2.5 and 5 speed, bought it with 66,xxx miles I swapped the interior out of an Outback into her, then less than a year later smacked a deer and totaled her with only 125,xxx and not a spot of rust, pretty good for NY (washed her at least once a week)
-
What did you use for a coil, wires and plugs? Subaru's are very finicky, always use OEM coils and wires, I found that Beck Arnley makes a good coil and wires for Subies and only use NGK plugs....I've made the mistake before and put on a non OEM coil and wires before and it burned my cat up
-
If you're going to use an additive use Lubegard, best stuff out there
-
Yeah seriously... I pulled the engine in my 01' legacy, put a clutch kit in, and full timing belt kit and put the motor back in and was driving her in 6.5 hours
-
Only problem with that kit is that it does not come with a water pump, but other than that it's a god deal
-
Sorry my bad, I forgot only up to 1996 SOHC engines where non interference all after which are interference, good catch!
-
It sounds like "chuckle" to me, usually it happens in the 25-18 MPH range, It is caused by a worn side gear shoulder, usually the the case and gears must be replaced
-
What she is doing is vibrating like a bitch when you hit around 30 MPH, I have diagnosed a couple of re-ends before and that what it seems to be, not sure though..The reason I'm asking is because I found a 2002 outback sedan with the 3.0 and every option with 176,xxx miles on it and it's only $1,500, I know this guy, and I was just tying to figure some stuff out in case I buy this car.. and the car does have VDC
-
And an easy way of braking that bolt free on the harmonic balance is to use a 1/2 beaker bar, and put the socket on then put it so the beaker bar is against the top of the drive side frame rail and just bump the engine over once and it should break it free.. and make sure you remove the radiator it makes it so much easier (more room), plus you have to drain the coolant system anyways
-
The 2.5 SOHC are cake to replace.. That 2.5 is a non-interference engine too by the way. But If it was me I would return that water pump and buy a Gates complete timing belt, tensioner, pulley and water pump kit through Rock auto, I think they run about $137 plus shipping
-
I have a 1998 Impreza that I'm thinking about buying, it only has 86,xxx miles on it with the 2.2L, The question I have is If I get it I was going to do the timing belt, water pump and tennioners on it since it's close to that 90,000 mark and with it being an interference engine I rather be safe then sorry.. Anyhow I was wondering since I have it apart should I do the head gaskets, or just leave them alone and run her
-
I would like to confirm that the ratios are the same before I get them swapped around and burn that viscus clutch out, lol
-
Quick question, I have a 2002 Subaru Outback sedan Automatic with the 3.0L but has a back read diff. and I was wondering if I could take a read diff out of a 2001 Legacy L which is also an automatic with the 2.5L and put it in the Outback. I know the bolts will match up I was just wondering about the gear ratios. I know that there's a difference between the Autos ans standards but wondering the same thing base models and Outbacks
