hello all , this model was never officialy imported to new zealand so no subaru dealers have any info on this car , it has adjustable valve clearences , i need to know the clearences to adjust my inlet and exhuast valves ...any info that some one has or point me to a website that has this would be most helpful ... many thanks for any replies cheers blair

i bet you a doller its the rear rotors ....... cheers blair

use an etch primer (hi temp ) and any old hi temp paint in a can will work well , any particular reason you want to paint a part that will never be seen ? cheers mate blair

i just did this the other day and i used a penetrating oil all around the pulley and kinda wiggled it side to side and it came off .... they all dont always come that easy , be carful levering against other parts of the engine , i also have used a crankshaft puller looks like a tripod that has three arms that go on the back of the pulley and you screw a bolt down onto the crankshaft and it pulls the pulley off .... just keep workin at it . cheers blair

hello all , while checking the diagnostic connectors under my dash (black and green ones ) why do the green ones when connected run the radiator fan in short bursts ? the black connectors told me the crank sensor was buggered so i replaced that at nz $ 160.00 , no more start issues now , can anyone explain the function of the green ones please , cheers blair

well surprise surprise i joined the two black plugs under the dash togeather and up flashed code 11 ... crank sensor ..... will replace with anew one today , strange that the snap on modis diagnostic tool never picked up any fault . many thanks to all who helped . cheers blair

thanks guys , if the car sits for awhile after i drive it ,it will start again , no engine codes no check light at all has ever come up. i will replace a couple of sensors and see what happens , many thanks
