2nd generation, EA81, what size heater hose?
mkoch replied to mkoch's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I the ones which connect to the heater core. Connect on the driver's side firewall. -
I have an 85 BRAT, I replace the alternator six months ago with one from my parts car, '84 GL. The replacement seems to be bad, with low voltage shown, and light coming on. Is there any component which could be making these alternators go bad? I thought the voltage regulator is in the alternator. mkoch

EA81 had low oil, now a new sound, video

Thank you for the response, and thank you for all the posts on ultimatesubaru.org! -
My front main seal leaked, and I saw that I was losing oil pressure just as I was on a highway on ramp. I had definitely driven with low oil for a few miles, but good oil pressure. So glad I noticed the dipping oil pressure gauge! I replaced the crankshaft seal, and topped up the oil. In startup, it sounded like the hydraulic valves ticked until they were filled with oil. I have a new sound above 2000 rpm, well represented on the video. Any guesses?

The ignition control module, in the distributor, has a condenser. The 1984 GL does not have points. Could the condenser go bad and cause the problem mentioned?
