1995SubaruImpreza

I have just learned that the car has been painted which is not out of the ordinary I guess considering it is 11 years old, but it has also had the steering pump changed and the rack and pinion...is this out of the ordinary? I might just be worrying for nothing beacuse of how reliable my current one was...

Thanks, I think it is about 3000.00usd, the car is in excellent condition as far as I can tell from pictures The seller says there is no rust. I will definatly take your advise and start changing out the above mentioned right away. Thanks again for your help.

Well I finally got the death certificate for my 1995 Subaru impreza yesterday... Needs new water pump (and suggestion to change the timing belt), left head gasket is leaking (my mechanic is pretty sure but won't be certian unit the car is washed down), transmission needs a new gasket(not a big deal but the tranmission fluid hasn't been changed in probably 300,000kms,orignal owner did nothing to the car) back right brake caliper needs repalcing and back left wheel bearing needs to be replace... So at 407,000kms I think the time has come to let it rest. I am Looking into buying another one because I love my curernt one so much I can't imagine driving anyhthing else. I am looking at another 95 exact same as mine (except different colour) 1995 Impreza automatic 5 door 1.8L 154,000kms The guy wants 3,800 cdn for it, does that seem resonable? Also can anyone give me some tips on what I should do to keep the new one running and in good shape if I do buy it? Thanks so much for everyones help, you have all been great!

Changed the spark plug wires, car is runing great! Transmission fluid hasn't been changed in at least 300,000kms I am afraid to change it now, I have been advised it is best not to. I don't know about the front and rear difs. The timing belt I don't think has ever been changed but I do not know for sure.

And the list gets longer.... The work that was done in and around the same time that the rough idling started was; a ball joint was replaced on the passenger side I had an oil change done, and had oil stabilizer put in for the first time, and I had the spark plugs changed. As for ignition parts being changed nothing has ever been changed. I have had the fuel filter changed and the air filter about 2 weeks ago. I inherited the car from my Dad, he has had it since new and not done anything with it, except oil changes. As per my mechanics request I have gone through most of the gas (I have about 1/4 of a tank) I am unable to tell if the gas tank is still leaking because it is rainy out so everything is wet. starting last night I have been getting a loss of power in the car. Last night wil going up a fairly large him (to incredibly steep) I could not get the car to do more than 40kms, I then too it to a really steep hill just to test it out and it climbed it fine. On my way to work this morning after being stopped at a red light on flat ground it just did not want to pick up speed for but a few seconds later it was okay again. Having the spark plug wires changed today (fingers crossed that will help) Another seperate issue I am having is my ABS light keeps coming on, it will be ok for an undetermined amount of time and then for no apparent reason it will come on and stay on until the car is turned off and then it will be ok for a while again. Is there a way to reset it or something?

Thanks so much!!! that will come in very handy!!!!!! and the first number is close by!!

My check engine light has never come on. It always starts fine, I have had the vaccumm lines checked they all seem secure. My car is an automatic it seems to switch gears fine no problems once I get going. The way the gas tank is leaking my mechanic seems to think that it is at the seam, or it is the fuel pressure sender. The reason I asked if the pump and sender were the same was because the guy at subaru said it is part of the pump. The car has not been fully inspected yet it is going in on tuesday to have the gas tank dropped out of it. If I am not getting the check engine light but should I still have it hooked up to see if it is getting any error codes? Also if there is a problem with the sender could this be causing the low idling and jerking problem? or is that a totally sperate issue?

Hi, I have a 1995 Subaru Impreza 1.8L AWD with 400300kms and it is dying a slow a painful death... I was hoping someone could give me some insight into my poor little car's problems seeing I know nothing about cars. 1st thing is that when I am stopped the RPM's drop to nearly 0 and the car shakes and jolts like it is going to stall although it never does. My mechanic cleaned out the throttle body thinking that might be the problem and it resolved the issues for a couple of hours. I also had the fuel filter and air filter changed 2nd I have two tempatures in my car Hot and Hotter when I put the vent on it is pure hot air that comes out and when I turn my heat on as you would expect it gets even hotter. When I have the fan and everythign turned off oyu can still feel hot air comming into the car through the vents although it appears the fan is not running. My Tempature gauge is always normal so I dont think that the car is overheating. And 3rd the best one yet I just learned today that I have a leak coming from my gas tank, my mechanic thinks that is could be a leak in the seam of the gas tank or a problem with the sending unit but won't know till he looks at it further. Anyone have any ideas? Also I called Subaru about the cost of a gas tank and sending unit Gas tank: 728.29cdn Sending unit 179.17cdn Is the sending unit the same thing as the gas pump? The guy at Subaru lead me to believe that is was...??? Also I have been trying to find an After market gas tank, does anyone know if they exsist Thanks in advance for any help!!! Desparate to keep my car alive
