I have a 99 Subaru Legacy. My problem is this. With Headlights off, left turn signal flashes fast, Right flashes normal speed. With headlights on both flash normal speed possibly slower. When you turn the hazards on, the lights on car light up but do not flash. There is no lights on dash. any idea's? Thanks in advance.

Everything else about this car is fine. No tranny problems or anything. It is actually a really clean car. Only reason I bought it was for use as a back up. I love my other 99 Legacy L and have had no problems with it except for the CATS. I really don't want to stick a whole lot of money in this thing. If it was going to be a daily driver then yes.

I am just wondering if it is worth putting the money into. I have $1400 in the car as is. I figure another $200 for HG Kit, $200 for TB Kit, $200 for machine shop, $100 for front TB Cover, $100 in incidentals. Mitchell calls for 10.2 hrs to replace both HG's. I can do the labor myself so that will save me. Car KBB's for $3800 in poor condition. I would rate this car better than average. Or I can turn around and run it thru auction and hope to get $2000 out of it. I have cleaned it up drastically since I bought it. Any input?

I used a NAPA purchased Stant brand thermostat. I didn't know about only using a OEM one. I will go out and get one today and try it. Yes there not being one in the first place did make me wonder. Maybe they did the same thing, tried a non OEM and had same problems? I am getting a little "smoke" out of the radiator cap whole within 2 min of starting the car. It progressively gets worse the longer it runs. And if I cover the whole I start getting bubbles in the over flow. I am almost certain it is HG. Has anyone ever replaced these themselves? If so how hard is it? Has anyone ever tried that dura-seal stuff? http://www.seal-a-head.com/page47.html

Hello, I am new to this board and would like to ask for some help or ideas. I just purchased a 99 Legacy Outback with 2.5l and 196,000 miles. Car ran great except the temp gauge never moved unless in town. I decided to replace the thermostat. Upon removing the housing I found NO thermostat in place. I replaced it and now this is what happens; Temp gauge sets at normal operating temp unless driven or runs for 20 plus minutes. Then pegs out. The antifreeze and radiator are cool to the touch except the end by the upper hose. I have burped the system even using a rolaid to hold the new thermostat open till it warmed up. I have hot air from heater until the gauge starts to climb past normal, then it goes cool. There is movement in the overflow tank. No fluid leaking into the oil. I have read alot about these having head gasket problems. Could this be? Or could it be a bad temp sending unit? I have a 99 Subaru Legacy with 198,000 miles on it with a 2.2l and have had no problems with the head gasket. Any ideas what else to try?
