Problems with '91 legacy AC
jjou812 replied to saw's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXthe haynes book says its a thermistor, therefore to bypass it would require a resistor of a certain resistence to simulate whatever temp is needed to keep it running. do you know what resistence that is? or can i just jump it like another poster said?

Any special precautions I need to take before/while recharging A/C?
jjou812 replied to eseiler's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXif you open a system (to change compressor for instance) air will get in. since air does not condense in the condenser you will get high head pressure. don't guess at this, have someone show you how it's done. also- if the comp cycles too frequently it's probably low on refrigerant and cycling the low pressure control.

Spotted: Red ea82 wagon (lifted) Tucson, AZ
not many subarus in tucson, i think most people perceive them as snow cars. i got my ford f150 2wd stuck in slightly wet mud in the pantano wash near houghton last july, man that was embarrassing!!! but your lifted wagon probably slogs right thru.

1991 Legacy Outback CV Joint/Axle Replacement
jjou812 replied to joeo's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThanks for the pictures. I might need to refer to them because my 90 legacy has a cv axle installed by pep boys 6 months ago. Ever since then I hear a clunk every time I let off the gas. I dont know if it's a defective cv joint but I suspect it is. There have been numerous warnings on this site about cheap axles. The people in the know say to only use genuine subaru axles, or if you must save money use Napa. Now I need some advice- should I chance this axle breaking or replace it first?

since I conveniently live in mechanicsburg I'll have no trouble getting there and really look forward to it. :clap: but I dont think my worn out 90 legacy is worth showing. someday I hope to get a xt6 or brat........

leaking water pump
my sister has a 93 impreza 1.8L with 120,000 miles. 2 weeks ago it ran dry and overheated. since then she's been seeing a puddle of coolant under the car after it's been parked a while, but it's been driving ok now that she fills it up every day and drives short distances. her mechanic said the water pump is leaking. since she's ready for a new car she might give this one to me and i'll fix it. my question is should i be worried that the water pump might seize and break the t-belt driving from her house in long island to mine in central PA?
