I love you Garry! That was the wrong wording. I simply wanted to warn others. BTW I do not shop in Walmart....

92 Loyale with 187K. 2WD. Is there a way to guess if this is just a blown Head Gasket or a cracked head? The car has been losing coolant for a couple of years. Now the temperature started rising. I introduced compressed air in all the cylinders at TDC. At the cylinder #2 the coolant started leaking from the radiator. I am a fairly conservative driver, drive around the town and do not rev the engine. What do you guys think? Regard, Sam

I know that trick but it has never worked for me. The copper gasket for the steering pump leaked badly no matter how many times I heated it. I replaced it with a gasket made from the gasket material and it still holds. I, most likely, do not heat it enough because I do not want it to melt, but being color blind I cannot really tell what is the right color. So back to the washers. What size are they and who carries them? Sam

somick replied to somick's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXFor a seven year old and 82K I guess the system needs some fresh fluid. I probably will do it. Thank, Sam

somick replied to somick's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThanks, so the fluid level should be at a "Cold Low"?

2010 Forester with 82K miles When I turn the steering wheel all the way to the right or to the left I hear a nasty squeal or squeaking. I checked the level of fluid when the engine cooled down and it was right on the line of "Cold Low" Could somebody look at yours? What level do you have? No previous work. No leaks. If I need to add fluid I guess the Dexron IV is good? Thanks, Sam

somick replied to 211's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXLike Texan noted in post # 2: make sure you mark the top hat and remember how it sits. Lubricate compressor's bolt. Use two sets of spring compressors. It is hard to tighten bolts on the new struts because they sometimes spin. Tighten those bolts when you put them back in the car. Good luck, Sam

On my 1992 there is thermistor that is located in the sending unit. The thermistor is most likely dead. We had few threads on them here on the forum but I do not remember if anybody has ever fixed them. Mine died many years ago. Sam

Actually this thread is about a different topic but, yes, I have had quite a bad experience with them. They sent me a wrong part once, they sent me a wrong part the second time. The distributor, they sent me with my third order, was for a wrong car as well. I had to pay for return shipping just to get my money back. I realize that I might have talked to a bad representative but the fact is that it cost me 10 bucks. They probably did not realize that they lost more money by loosing me as a customer. Regards, Sam

somick replied to stackman1's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXAbout four-five months ago I added a Red Toyota antifreeze to my 2010 Forester. So far so good. There is no gelling. The coolant level stays between the lines in the expansion tank. Sam

somick replied to milty60's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXLubricate compressor's nut well. Mark everything, like Garry said. Be careful! YouTuber Eric The Car Guy has few helpful videos. Good luck, Sam

somick replied to 1 Lucky Texan's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI was driving to work this morning and realized that I did have one problem: rear windows. At about 70K they started sticking and going down with some kind of increments (not smoothly like you would expect). Removed the panels and lubricated the cables. The cables were pretty dry. That was it! Sam
