You could check the pressure out of the pump by tapping into the pressure line with a gauge. Or you can pull the return line and see if fluid is being pumped back to the PS unit. If you find out you need a pump, I have a good one from a 96 Legacy wagon 2.2 motor. I believe they are the same. $30+shipping. I also have a good rack, but I don't know about the interchange.

With new rotors and pads, there should be very little if any noise! I'd drive is some and see if you can identify specifically where its coming from and when it happens. How do the brakes work? If they are working fine, they may have just bent a part a little and it is hitting sometime. Have them check it again after a few more miles.

It's and easy job, two mount bolts and the wires to the starter. I'd check to make sure your cable were clean and tight. 60K is low miles for the starter to go. A used starter will be the cheapest, but any good rebuild will get you going. You could also pull the starter and have it checked by a starter rebuild place. Later, Larry

Pull the bottom trim, if you haven't already. Look for a black two wire plug. These wires go to the coil to release the key. Check for a complet path. Then try putting 12V and a ground to the plug. This should release the Key. If that fails, look at the lock assy. You will see a small rod which you can push back. If that works, leave the black plug disconnected and you are done. Just make sure you put it in park, as you will now be able to remove the key in any gear.

Fill and bleed the system and get it back to the shop that did the work. It shouldn't be doing that. Check to see if an easy fix, but still let the shop know so it doesn't happen to the next person. -

I just picked up a 96 Legacy Wagon. I went to swap out the Cats as I had a CEL light. When I started to drop the y=pipe I saw it was a single port exhaust. From what I can tell, the engine is original to this car, but I thought the single exhaust went to the dual in the early 90's. I have another 96 2.2 and it has the dual port exhaust. Any thoughts?

I don't know what car you have, but there may be a sending unit on both sides of the drive shaft. You can pull them with ease. I don't know that cleaning will do much as it is in fuel all the time. Pull them and check them for resistance as you move the float. You may be able to find the bad contact section.

Regular mx is the key to long life IMHO. As far as the HG issue, look at the coolant overflow tank for any signs of oil. Make sure the coolant is being sucked back into the radiator when the engine cools. Many of the 2.5 engine go for 150-200K without a problem. Others have seen the HG go early. I like the manual trans over the auto, but that's me. Again regular maintenance clean fluid and you should be good to go. For the price you are paying, it should be in GREAT shape! Later,

Best thing to do is have the codes read. It could be many things. Here in the US, Autozone will read them out for Free. Check around, you might find a similiar deal near you. Let us know what you find. The spouse filled up the 98 Outback Legacy the other day and later the CEL came on as the gas cap was not tight.

Its a bit of a pain. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Center counsel has two screws at the rear. Pull the cup holder, a screw on each side Pull the AC controls Pull the ash tray, two screws on top, one at the rear The cover can now be removed 4 or six screws hold the unit in. stuff some rags or something along the sides otherwise the screws will drop into the carpet. Remove the radio and pull the connectors and antena. You should be able to find a used unit for $25 or so. I have one, I can send up from Colorado for $45 shipped. Its from a 96 I'm parting next week. Larry.
