09 Impreza A/C recirc button
somick replied to brighton98's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXMake sure you are NOT in the defogger mode. The genius Subaru "engineers" disabled it on my 2010 Forester. Good luck, Sam

Power steering pump kits
Roach Auto's database it very inaccurate. They will sell you a wrong stuff and you will pay return shipment. It is possible to rebuild steering pump. The only problem is the copper gasket. I bought a set of gasket material from Kragen and cut a gasket myself. Three thousand miles and still no leaks. Good luck, Sam

CV boot
I would let some air in. Try to use a tiny screw driver of something to let some air in. If it does not work you will have to loosen the band. Good luck, Sam

Experienced mechanics, help me with timing belt change
somick replied to 1 Lucky Texan's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXA question for the information I found in the FSM in the link I provided earlier. 43.7 teeth. Do you really need to count that precisely if all the marks are lined up? Another question is about the tightening torque: 135 ft/lb and then turn a number of degrees. What do they mean? Regards, Sam

coolant burping question ea82
New thermostat is a new thermostat. When cold squeeze top and bottom hoses until no bubles come out. Park it on a hill nose up with the radiator cap off and wait for the thermostat to open. Some coolant will leave the radiator when the coolant start expanding. I usually use turkey baster to suck it out. Close the radiator cap and bring the expansion tank level to medium: between low and full marks. Good luck, Sam

somick replied to MilesFox's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXOn my 2010 Forester they used iridium plugs with 30,000 miles change interval. I have also had one ECU "update" from the dealer. They do not tell you what they do there but that what I had. Sam
