  1. 3 year/36K warranty bumper to bumper (clock and radio fall somewhere between both bumpers).
  2. True, the Lowoil "seeps" more than leaks but when that stuff sprays back on the exhaust, it's pretty stanky and a real nuisance.
  3. Keep those posts coming in. Two more posts required for a complimentary smile from moderator of your choice:). Seriously though, I recently spoke directly with NGK for a question regarding using cooler than spec plug and they couldn't have been more gracious. Give them a shout if your local auto supply dealer can't tell you.
  4. If the Loyale lives up to its reputation, there should be enough oil leaks to rent your services to reseal asphalt driveways. The engine is powerful enough but the seals leak and this one is old enough to be time worn.The Legacy wagon seems a better bet for room and vintage.
  5. May be so, just checked and Auto Barn shows no replacement for rear wiper! That's a Subaru gotcha... At least try and get it from one of the on-line discount Subaru parts dealers when ordering other parts.
  6. I guess you alrady checked auto supply stores? I know they have a book that cross references with Anco, Bosch wiper blades/arms etc.
  7. For my 2000 Legacy GT, I've had two sets of Dunlop Sport A2 with disappointing wear, also a bit noisy. I'm looking at Kumho Grand Touring All-Season for Northeast US driving. Tirerack has them for $65. Fair price for a fair tire?
  8. Hate to be a pain but looks can be deceiving. Did you mean to say that you pulled the fuses and checked for continuity? If you didn't, do so now. Common things occur commonly.
  9. Timing belt is supposed to be good for 105K. Their advice seems suspect You can clean the throttle body yourself with spray cleaner. Engine "knock"? I have "pinging" with 87 octane in my 2000 Legacy GT in warmer weather under light load acceleration. OK in winter.
  10. Did you remove the air filter components and/or windshield washer bottle (depending on side and model/year) for better access? If you are talking about the plug wires and they are regular plug wires, just grab the boot as close to the plug as possible, squeeze the boot, twist it, wiggle it left and right, up and down, cuss three or four times and give it a pull. If it separates from the plug connector, well you'll need to replace it but I don't know of any other magic.
  11. Open window, open door, pinch the top of the plastic triangle slightly, drive around and pinch more if needed.
  12. http://www.scoobymods.com/forums/showthread.php?t=182 The above is step by step and sequence for bleeding Subie brakes. Check the manual but I think there is fluid that is compatable with either.
  13. If you invision the trangular shaped piece that the mirror is attached to, like a sail, pinch the top portion of the trangle. Remember the forces that initially distort this piece are from the window being man handled. Your objective is to reverse this action... sorry no picture yet.
  14. Are you using Suabru or aftermarket parts? This may explain some of the wirigging.
  15. The Subaru parts department parts blow up will show all the scews, connectors and widgets. I doubt the manuals would be that specific.
  16. I've used the following technique for various applications. Go to your local Subie dealer parts department and ask them to copy the parts page for your sunroof;). That should show you the innards and you'll probably be able to figure out what's what from there.
  17. I didn't mean to trash Autolite plugs. What Nipper accurately pointed out to me is that though the cooler NGK plug was accurately cross-referenced to an Autolite plug, the issue of temperature range was better addressed by staying within a manufacturer since it is in fact a "range". The pinging issue was much resolved when I went back to the NGK series and experimented within their ranges. With some trial and error, likely there is an Autolite plug that would suit my needs but for the moment, I was able to eliminate one possible variable by staying within one manufacturer.
