  3. 2001 Outback 3.0 wagon,130,000 miles. Went on a 700 mile trip to Chicago last week and noticed at stops a small amount of smoke coming out from under car. Checked things out and saw nothing wrong. When I got back to WV my local Subaru dealer was offering an free October car check out. I went for it to see if they could see what maby I missed since they have a rack to get a better look. I wasent ready for an oil change yet but they said the oil filter may be leaking.They wanted to change the oil filter and put back in the old oil. I said no way just give me the whole oil change. They had 2 tecks look under car for about 20 mins and came back and said I may need valve cover gaskets. I say how much we looking at ( thinking about $200 in my head ) , He looks at some paper and says about $800 with parts. I said what,do you have to pull the engine out to do the job. He says no it calls for 7 hours labor,and while we are doing that we may as well change the oil cooler and seals. I asked then why the oil cooler if its not bad cant you just change the seals. He says thats what Subaru calls for. I payed for my oil change and got far from there fast. Now come on guys 7 hours. Is this true ??? Have any of you guys changed these valve cover gaskets on the 3.0, how hard is it and how long did it take you ??? And why would you need another oid cooler ??? Maby they dont know what may be leaking cause you cant see much with the belly cover on any way. thanks
  4. My son has a 95 Impreza that we just put a new 2.2 engine in. Car runs and drives like brand new, in fact I think it runs better than my 2001 3.0 Outback. Now he wants to be like the rest of the young guys and have a muffler with some sound to it. Problem is here in small town Beckley WV the cops dont like loud mufflers and give these kids tickets for it. So what can my crazy boy put on there that would still be legal and give the 2.2 a good sound ???? Me myself I like it quiet so I can hear the engine if anything goes wrong. You cant hear a thing if the radio is blasting and the muffler is loud. lol thanks
  5. 95 Impreza l wagon with 15'' steel wheels. What other 15'' Subaru wheels fit the my 95 Impreza l wagon ??? thanks
  6. I got it !!! It runs just fine. No check engine light came on. Cut EGR tube in half,smashed cut end with ballpene hammer so no air escapes, and bolted other end back to EGR hole. I thank you guys for all your great info. Im happy,and my sons happy he can drive his Impreza again. You guys are great and this web site is the best. thanks:banana:
  7. What kind of socket do you use on the valve cover bolts on the 95 2.2 engine. thanks
  8. Thanks for the great advice guys. Was just worried about running without EGR. I typed in on the net ( can you run a car without an EGR ) and read some not so good news. Like burning valve seals, and too much heat in the piston chamebers and rough running. And than some people say they have no problem at all. One way or another its gonna run. Its too hot to pull it out again and my boy cant wait to drive it. lol WE put TOO much work in this for it not to run. We pulled this engine out by hand with a treated 4x4 post and a cable in 90 degree heat and put the other one in the same way. Im sure after this my boy will learn to check the oil so he dont blow another one, cause the next engine hes on his own. Im getting too old for this. thanks guys
  9. Pulled out a blown 2.2 out of my sons 95 Impreza and put another 2.2 engine in. Got everything hooked back up and last thing was the tube from EGR valve. I found there is no hole for the other end of the tube in the bottom left side head. Did they make some different kind of set up for the EGR valve on some 2.2 engines ???? Im stuck now big time. Need some help guys. I dont think I can plug EGR and run without it. HELP !!!

  17. I have a 96 legacy outback with the 2.5 engine and its automatic and i was wondering why it keeps overheating it seems like everytime i drive for about 3 to 4 hours it overheats when i check the oil it is full when i check the radiator all the antifreeze goes right into the recovery tank when i let it sit to cool all the antifreeze disappears. I put a new oil filter on and put new oil in, i changed out the temperature control swich and the cooling fans work, i put a new radiator cap on and changed the antifreeze, then we burped it twice. no oil leaks or water leaks no where, no smoke no blown head gaskets everythings good on it beside the antifreeze disappearing and overheating. if any1 can help me thanx

  20. Maby someone here did this before. Replacing right rear glass in a 96 Outback. How do you get the trim or gutter off that sits above the glass ? I pulled down some of the head liner and from what I can see in the small holes in the upper body it almost looks like rivets. Anybody know how ??? thanks

  22. Fixing up a 96 Leg Outback wrecked in rear end. Bumper cover was ripped off and steel bumper that was under cover was crushed in the center. Can not seem to see any bolts under car to remove this. Is the steel bumper thats under the cover welded on or is it part of the body frame it self ????
