  1. Hello all. The car is a 1999 L Anniversary Edition wagon. The car came with a factory alarm/keyless combo, but I have no original remotes. I purchased a replacement off of ebay (GOH-M24). I have spent 12+ hours total trying to locate the damn program button. It's not mounted near the hood release and there's no round switch with 2 brown wires attached to any wiring under the dash. As a matter of fact, there's only 1 brown wire coming from the keyless module. I was told on SL-I that I have the Code Alarm system. I'm starting to think that's incorrect. According the cars101.com, 1999 Legacy's could have had the Alpine or the Code Alarm system. The Alpine system doesn't require a program button to activate additional remote controls which would explain why I can't find any buttons under there. This car will chirp the horn once when I lock all the doors (open driver's door, power lock the doors, exit vehicle, slam door, then it honks). Is this a characteristic of the Code Alarm system or the Alpine? Also, the alarm LED flashes twice rapidly while the car is off. I never disconnected the battery My wife and I have a small child, we also have another one on the way. Having a functional keyless remote would be of great help to the both of us, especially when we have to carry my son over to the car or when loading up groceries. I couldn't care less about the alarm, we just need the keyless to work. Thank you
  2. Hi everybody! Last month I purchased my first Subaru, a 1996 Impreza LX AWD Brighton. It has the 1.8L SOHC, 5spd manual transmission, and 151,000 miles. Paid $1500.00 for it. In the past month I replaced the plugs and wires and changed the oil + filter. When my mechanic had the car up on the lift he pointed out to me oil that was dripping from the motor. He said it was the cam seal and that they were known for going bad on the 1.8 + 2.2 motors and that I should have it replaced within the next few months as well as do a timing belt. Is there anything else I should have done while the this work is being performed? oil pump? water pump? This car runs mint and I'd like to keep it for a while. I'm open to any suggestions and recommendations. Also, this car seems a bit sluggish. I am not complaining but I'd like to have a little more oomph for getting on the highways. What do you guys suggest I do? I'm not looking for anything drastic, just a little added pep Thank you Jason
