What is the current consensus on using aerosol Throttle Body Cleaner on Soobs? I know I asked this question on ultimatesubaru.org like two years ago and the over whelming answer was NO!! That Subaru had some sort of special coating on the throat of the TB. And you would remove it if you used TB cleaner on it? My ’98 Legacy L wagon with EJ22, AT and 140k on the clock is idling rough now. I have replaced everything I can think of. New fuel filter, PCV valve, NGK plugs (gapped correctly), Brand new 640 CCA battery, in tank high end fuel injection cleaner, plug wires are in good shape. The only thing I can think of is a dirty TB. And now when it is cold it does that slightly surging thing, which the usually shake in gear at a stop sign??

I would love to see the Kenedy Engineering kit for that rig!! A easy to come by and cheap Mitsu rig with Toyota bullet proof and easy to find driveline!!

Cool, thanks that battery is $59.99 at my local Sears.

So, how much was teh 620 CCA battery from Sears out the door? Is there a model # or name on it?

The cranking is a little weaker on my '98 Legacy L wagon on cold mornings now. I am going to have the charging system and battery checked. Has anyone had good luck with a particular brand or model battery in a Legacy with an EJ22 and AT in it?

Well I got a used heater core that looks to be in great shape (Thanks Shane!) for my ’98 Legacy L wagon EJ22, AT, with 139k on the clock. I used the SOA coolant additive and it helped a little with the strong coolant smell in the cabin when the heat is on but I can still smell it. I am looking at the replacement core and it seems to have the remains of foam padding on two sides of the core. How can I replace this so it does not rattle when I replace the stock leaking core with this one?

You can strighten some of the fins witha fin comb that HVAC guys use. I also reverse flush my rad. every spring with a mild soap spray and then a hose blast from the engine side!

How do I get to the sensors and there pick-ups take the rotors off?

Would the fact that it resets everytime I shut the car off and turn it back on then only come on if I go over 65 MPH for more than 5 min. point to a speed sensor? Anyone else come across this? I know it did this one other time a LONG time ago when we had like foot of snow and I was driving through it!

Do you know much about older Suzuki's and Honda Motorcycles?

Thanks the file works great. I tried the link in the earlier post and it did nothing on my browser??? This technique will work for a '98 Legacy also right??

That link did not work for me can you send it to me via e-mail?

I have a '98 Legacy L Wagon with EJ22 and AT. For the last month or so when I get on the highway and go above 65 MPH. The ABS on the dash comes on a stays on for the rest of the ride. Then when I shut it off and re-start it it goes off and stays off untill a couple weeks later where it will do it again. It does not do it every time I go over 65 but maybe once ever four times I do?? The rear pads were replaced about two days agao but it was doing it previous to this. I have bleed and replaced teh brake fluid the way End Wrench mag. stated about 8,000 miles ago and there were no problems right after that?

NO One on the mess. baord can give me any info on this Forester?? Is there a more Forester geared area, or board??

I have used a peice of semi-ridge surgical tubing that fits over the end of the plug and threaded it WITH ANTI-SEIZE ON IT. Good feed back from treads!!

I am looking at this Forester again tonight, so I need some insite! What is the driveline in this '00 Forester Limited? I guess it has a viscous center diff. like all the manual tranny Roos. Does it have a limited slip rear diff. anything cool like diff. covers in the Limited trim??

Well at high elevations the turbo will be less effected by the low oxy situations up there! I would go for a turbo in the high mountains, the N/A six will get wheezy up there!

Hi, group my family has had MANY Roos. I still have my Grandfathers '98 Legacy L Wagon EJ22, AT with 137,750 miles on it. My girlfriends '97 Saturn SC1 is about to give up with 122k on the clock. We went to Subaru of Nashua, NH and took a look at a '00 Forester LIMITED in five-speed with 116k on the clock. It drove nice. Belts had been done, no wrecks, only a drone from the rear that the stealership said they would look into. They want $8,900 for it I offered $6,500. It books for $11,500 on Kelly? It is a strange car, it has the elec. compass, barameter, temp on the dash, ALL FOUR (FRONT AND BACK) DUEL STAGE HEATED LEATHER SEATS. Bumper gaurd, running boards, fog lamps with grilles, alluminum rims. Should she go for it? Any members have this vintage Forester with the Phase II EJ25 with more miles than this? Does this year Forester suffer from the wheel bearing problems of it's Impreza platform kin?? PS. Did this year Forester have afactory moonroof option, this one does not have one? What kind of MPG should we exspect from this Forester?

Quick ? group, will the STOCK REAR brake pads squeal when they are worn down?? Do the Suabru rear brake pads have wear indicators on them? I don't see them on the aftermarket pair??

Thanks everyone for your great advice. Since my Mom's car is so new I will try to get her to get the stone guard for the paint also. But, deffinately for the fogs if nothing else. Joel

What do you mean DISCONTINUED?? I checked on lens for the fogs on my Mom's '03 and they are $270 a piece!!! I have to do something to protect the lenses that price is crazy!! The guy at the parts dept. at the stealership said he thought the lens on the fogs were glass?? Thanks for the source lead on Rockblocker. Rockblockeris that clear, sticker type stuff, do you have it as paint protection also??? Joel

Thanks, is there a mounting bolt upper and lower to attach the screening to?? How is your GT in the snow??

My Mom just bought a '03 GT sedan it has the factory front fog lights. Is there any grilles I can by for these so rocks kicked up by cars in front of her don't bust the lenses?? These glass or plastic, how delicate are they?
