Hi Everyone!! I'm in need of some help. I live in California and I bought a 07 Impreza 2.5i (non turbo) about 2 years ago. After my first smog check the car's check engine and cruise control light came on. The cars performance has not changed or the gas mileage so I didn't pay attention to it. Now is time for another smog check and the car wont pass with the check engine light on (I tried reseting but the computer but OBDII picked up on it. too old of a trick). Well now I need to fix the problem but the emissions passed so I'm not sure whats going on. The computer is saying I need a new catalytic converter. Does anyone have any expirience with this problem? if so SHould I replace or clean the O2 sensors first and see what happens? should I use OEM or after market is fine for 02 sensors or catalytic converter? I want to be inform since I dont have any expirience with this problem. Thank you for your time

I'm looking to buy an Impreza 2.5i non turbo 2007. The car has a leakage is hardly leaking motor oil. the leakage I saw was down by the pan but i was not sure where. I notice when I went to test drive it. The guy took it to a mechanic and the mechanic said that there's a leak from a gasket in the solenoid. I was wondering if you guys could give me advice. Is this a Big problem? what is it exactly?? Is it expensive to fix?? should I buy this car with that leakage?? thanks

On craiglist's is where I saw the add for the 05 legacy. Grossgary: Thanks for the info i will def. check that head gasket before i buy. Thank you very much guys your opinions have been very helpful.

Cool!! That's good since I'm looking for durability. I want the car to last me through grad school and beyond. Thanks man

I'm looking at a Subaru Legacy 2005 non turbo. It has 50,000 miles and it looks like it's in very good conditions. I wanted to know if anyone knows about common issues with this car or mayor problems, stock defects, etc. I'm a college student looking for a liable car that is not going to break down on me too much and won't have mayor problems for a while. I had a 90' legacy wagon before and I know Subarus are good cars but i read about 05 legacy having major issues with the engine. If anyone has personal experience or works at a shop and would be kind to let me know about their experience. Thanks Guys

I'm Just replacing the Hub. Thanks for the tip, im going to check out the spray tomorrow. i'm really worried about buying the wrong one, because im buying it only and they are not very specific with the ABS deal.

I have a 90' Legacy FWD ABS Beauty. The bearing has been making a loud sound for four months now maybe more, so its time to replace it. I'm planning on buying the hub, so I want to make sure i buy the right part so if anyone can tell me which is the part #, since i have ABS i know i have to buy the specific one. Is the REAR Passenger, Is there a differences in ABS and NON ABS since is FWD??? I did find this part 512036. and if anyone could give me heads up with some tips on how to change it?? and tools that I'm going to need, because it's my first time changing a hub. Thanks

Now that you guys mention the coolant does goes down slowly, I've noticed. So head gasket I'll check it out. Thank You guys I really appreciate your help

Hi everyone! I have a 90' legacy with a ej22 engine. Lately i noticed that white smoke is coming out the exhaust. Is not noticeable when you run it but when stopped is a abnormal amount of smoke. is obvious at night. I change the motor oil to Amsoil to see if it helped, since white smoke usually means that is mixing oil and gas. Same problem so far no improvement. If anyone can help tell me the different options of what the problem could be and if possible how to fix it?? Thank you

That's not cool! I guess it will be easier to install that way. Thanks guys i appreciate your help

That might mean that iit's the same part for 4wheel and 2 wheel drive??

I have a 90' Subaru legacy front wheel drive. My rear bearing is ready to be change and I was looking for a bearing on eBay , but I'm not sure whats the part #. They have a couple for four wheel drive, but I don't know if it is the same fit. If anyone knows the part #??? it would help alot thanks

4eat 90' automatic Just got tranny fully rebuild, but reverse still making a little rough sound when it goes in to gear. I put in reverse half a second later a rough sound ( gear going in) I know it should not do that since i just rebuild. I thought maybe the Transmission mount??? If anyone can help I would appreciate it??? Thanks

Thanks man! I know a place that fixes tran. computers, if fixable and a source for a new one, but no source for a use tcm except for a couple of websites but no luck. I really hope that's the problem too. take it easy
