Do i need one of the kits that have all the extra stuff included or could i just get a water pump / gasket and a new timing belt? Im trying to find one that is rated well and has the parts i need. My old camaro i could of did this no problem or my old chevy truck lol, but these subarus have me not knowing whether to scratch my watch or wind my butt. (Or whatever my wife says when shits confusing lol)

Holy cow thank you very much. Ill order the parts i need then

Thank you both. I have replaced the thermostat already but the hoses and the actual pump have not been as of yet. This pic is what has me spooked, it seems to say alot without really saying anything at all

Thank you for the tips. In order to do the timing belt do i need a timing light or whatever? And some said i need a special tool to hold the cam shaft in place and such as well

So the gasket around the water pump seems to of gone out. At first it was a slight leak. Then last night it gave up the ghost and is now leaking even when the car is cooled, i poured some coolant in and it started dripping out. The pump is working fine but the gasket seems to be gone in it. So time to replace both. My usdm impreza booklet as well as the chilton seem to be giving me different info. Its a cheap car so i cant afford paying a shop to do it for me. Prior to this i tried adding Gasp... K seal to it, the next day it started over heating quicker then without the k seal. So i flushed the system and it was good another few days. Until like i said last night when it pissed all over my driveway. What is the easiest way to get to this damn pump? Most places say i gotta remove the fans , radiator, timing belt, then some say the tensioner, cam shaft angle sensor left side camshaft pully and left side rear timing belt..... holy hell is there not an easier way? Is there a better way to use the stop leak without it gunking up the system? At my wits end with this car. And at most i only drive it 4 miles or 10 at the most if its grocery day. Can i just dump water in it before driving to hold me over a bit longer? Any and all help is appreciated. As most of my friends dont know anything about subarus. Thank you

I fixed the windshield wipers using the part listed above. I followed instructions in a service manual for my car, but not the air bag light is on, and remains on... how do i fix this? Does it mean my airbag will not work in a crash? Or is it a ticking time bomb and poses a safety risk? ... thank you all so much for the adcive so far, yall have saved me tons of money and always point me in the right direction

The leak is on the back side between the hose and the bolt you can see a bit that pools on the bracket then drips on the manifold. Probably the o ring i hope. Im searching how to remove the reservoir so i can change it. Ive done lucas stop leak but its not workin. But to be fair ive only been able to put a minimal amount in there. I have a big syringe that ill suck some of the old fluid out with, and ill check the link for the o ring i may need. Unless it seems like there is another direction i need to start at

Thanks man, im trying to find a competent guide. This chilton is bullshit. Lol glad i didnt buy it. Ill take a picture of my old knock sensor and maybe yall can tell what was wrong with it. I didnt see any cracks. A bit of corrosion. And ill take a pic of the installed knock sensor tomorrow to double check i installed it correctly. I just did what the prior one was. But maybe that one was installed wrong...?

So i replaced it , cleared the code and .... the code came back. Wtf? Same exact code. So i take it there is another problem?

I think i found a prior post abot where the sensor is, my chilton sucks and doesnt give good descriptions on the location i am hoping this will fix it. I will wrench on it this weekend. According to my manual i have 2 sensors possibly?

Holy crow. Thanks dude it will be here the 16th. Went ahead and ordered that bad boy. Thank you so much for lookin out

https://www.autozone.com/engine-management/knock-sensor/duralast-knock-sensor/268129_0_0 Stupid question but is this the part i need?

Thanks bud. Its only a 40 dollar part so ill order it this friday. Im not even sure what a knock sensor does to be honest. But hopefully it will make the car work better? Lol

Uploaded is a picture. Is it an easy fix? I saw a youtube video that said they just cleaned theirs real good and it worked fine, i bought a cheap obd 2 sensor and i have a list of other things it tested for

My power steering res. Is leaking on the bottom so it drips on my manifold and smokes when the engine heats up. I thought of running a toggle switch to my wiper motor but the part is only like 80 bucks. And i found shocks and springs for like 200

Thank you for this. , alternator is fixed. And lights are not pulsing anymore. Check engine light is off. Now just shocks, power steering pump, and the windshield wiper lever. And i should have a great car.

Its a 96 impreza lx 2.2 L

Ok alternator output is bad. I dont have the code yet, but ill try and get a new alternator this payday. My next step will be how much of a bitch will it be to change? My mechanic is out of state so ill have to do it hans solo. I do have the chilton manual and ill try to rally some friends to help, but most likely ill be alone doing it

Are you local? Do i have to take the alternator off to test it? Thats the only reason i havent yet. I will be getting the codes checked soon so i know a bit better of a direction to go.

Dude i bought it from says its the knock sensor. Would that cause the light problem? It still may be a faulty alternator. But ill replace the knock sensor this coming payday

Here is video of the problem. I am hoping one of you can steer me in the right direction. My mechanic is less then helpful so far. And now is out of state. I have checked the battery with a volt meter, it reads 12.4 . When the car is on it goes up to 13.8, when i turn ac and lights on it fluctuates between 13.6 and 13.8. I have replaced the plugs and wires so far. But not sure where to head next. Ill get a video of it in the day time. But hopefully you can hear the issue. There is a sliht whine and the weirs pulsing sound. The idle doesnt go up or down, like most peoples issues on the web that ive found. It mainly does it when starting until it warms up , but it does it slightly when turning on the blinker i notice the check engine light dim in rhythm . Help? Thanks to the advice i found it was a faulty alternator, and i found how to fix it myself

But i cant seem to find any info on them. Ive searched all over google and on other forums. Other then in passing on posts where people say its an aftermarket replacement lol

Drivers side fine... passenger side , no clue wtf is goin on there.

(The dude before me installed new headlight assemblies on my 96 subaru impreza lx. I have searched all over but cant find anything about them . On the lenses they say sae hr06 dot 13v h4 vor FeBerg srip95.0 on the cover. I am trying to adjust the passenger side headlight as its too high up. But i cant find info so im not sure excatly what to do. There is a bolt on the back (upper inside) and one on the lower back (towards outside) i have turned both but neither seem to move my beam. Ill go take a picture of the front and inside in hopes someone can tell me what im doing wrong. I feel stupid asking but am at my wits end. Maybe its broke? Pictures to come
