  1. Changed the oil,checked the rest of the fluid levels, and added some air to the tires in Bonnie, the 02 Outback. Sisters are taking their dogs to a show out of town so I wanted to make sure Bonnie would make it there and home again safely.
  2. Caboobaroo, I'm curious as to why you are running 5W-30 instead of 10W-30 or 10W-40?
  3. I replaced the bearing in one of those pulleys when I was tracing a bearing noise. I still have it, it has about 5000 miles on it. I just recently pulled it because I am doing an EJ swap in that wagon.
  4. That may also be one of the relays for the headlights. Do any of those wires go to the engine harness? You should have two relays: The main relay (square like that one) and the fuel pump relay (round). They also should be next to one another on a separate bracket. That, I think, is the door dinger box. Although mine was black. Do you remember where it was located? Was it under the dash near the radio or near the driver's side foot well? If it's next to the radio, it's the door dinger box. If it's by the foot well, it might also be the fuel pump controller box. But I do not think they used those on the EFI models. That should be the connector that merges the engine harness to the under dash harness. Things like the CEL, oil pressure, coolant temp, VSS, starter signal, and a few other circuits go though that connector. Trace the wires back into the harness. You should have at least two that go directly to the ECU: The CEL and VSS. I cannot think of the wire colors off hand. These answers are based on an SPFI swap I did with an 88 GL parts car. I do not know if Subaru changed anything else besides adding the clutch switch on the Loyale series.
  5. Went digging into the XT6's cooling system thinking I had a bad t-stat or H20 Pump - turned out it was just very low on coolant. Appears the radiator cap had gone bad and was letting all the coolant out to atmosphere instead of the reservoir.
  6. Had some some snow this week: With the wagon lowered and the summer tires, crawling up the mountain to actually be in the snow probably would not be a good idea.
  7. Sorry, EA82s are highly jealous cars. Ned will have fits till the XT6 gone. Trust me.
  8. Ouch. I hit an owl with my antennas I had on the roof of my old wagon - bent every single one of them.
  9. Thanks, curious how she will ride and perform. The PandaWagon needs some springs and struts in the back and I'm not sure what spring rates I want to go with.
  10. Nice! That'll surprise a few WRXs!
