Dubaru666 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Need help finding a replacement, don't know the name of this line or where to find it. It is in the very front/bottom, it has a rubber fitting on each side, and two tabs holding it onto the timing chain cover. It comes from the thermostat area and goes to the oil filter area.

desertsubaru Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I just looked at that pipe on my 2.5. looks to be about 1/2 inch in diameter. I would just get a 1/2 inch copper water pipe then cut it to the length you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY_Dave Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Its fairly cheap from the dealer. I would use just hose before using copper. Anticipate similar rust on the one that goes under the drivers side head (but above the frame). Check your oil pan for rust-through leaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 any concern introducing copper could cause electrolysis ? I'd probably buy the correct part too. Check online dealers like subarupartsforyou, Fred Beans, subarugenuineparts ,etc. maybe ask local dealer to match price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertsubaru Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I have used copper on cooling systems in the past with no ill affects. Old heater cores were copper and even my 94 jeep has copper lines going to the heater core. But as said if the part is cheap enough just buy it.

CNY_Dave Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Copper can work-harden if it can vibrate, can get brittle and break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
