The power steering system uses ATF so don't rule that out. Good luck

My 90 legacy did the same thing more than once as I kept getting bogus ALT's from the part store. I finally got one that works thought. You should have gone with your gut feeling and instaled it yourself. All you realy need is a 10 and 12mm socket. It is cake!! Good luck.

I don't know about the 95's but the 91-94 legacys use the check engine light to read out the trouble codes. If I am wrong I am sure I will be corrected by someone on here. Somebody? Anybody?

everyone out in Subaru land will be happy to know that my 90 Legacy wagon survived Hurrican Frances (cat 2, 105mph winds). She was parked safely in the garage and my 99 altima and my 88 Cherokee sat in the driveway. I lost my fence, some roof, screened porch enclosure and a few other odd things...but for the most part I am doing good. If only Ivan would stay away. I am writing this from my computer that is running on myh generator. We lost power Saturday evening and FP&L believes it will be another 10 days before power is restored. I have pictures if anybody is interested. Hope everyone else had a better week. Hurricanes BLOW!!

If you can't find the treads...TAP DAT ARSE! I mean gear. Sounds pretty eashy, and you can also decide what size bolt you want to use. We wish you luck brother.

don't feel bad, when I was living in CO and vacationing in FL I left my 90 Legacy with my cousin. He calls me up and says "your car was dead, I had to jump start it so I could move it in the dirveway." Needless to say I flipped out because it was a brand new battery. Come to find out (when I returned) the drivers side door does not shut all the way so somebody glued a nickel where the PIN switch strikes the door. The nickel fell off, therefore killing my battery. There is a quarter there now. Happens to the best of us....

This up coming holiday...it's going to be a real Labor Dabor. I am going to sit on the cooler by the stick and have a hamburger and then make fun of people as they walk by. I am most certainly not checking e-mail though.

I decided it was time to investigate further when I noticed the back window wiper wouldn't wipe the rain off because it was covered in oil. It Just smeared it around. I did some research and found out it was the oil seal leaking. I took the timing cover off , degreased and pressure cleaned the front and then let it idle in my driveway untill the oil showed up. Hope this helps. If you need more info on pulling it all apart then check out my postings. I just did the oilseal and I couldn't have done it without everyone on here.

I just did the oil pump deal on my 90 legacy and I had the same problem with the crank gear. There are 2 threads in my gear so I found a piece of flat 1/4in steel, 2 bolts (same size) and a bunch of washers and used them to get the gear off. I took the steel and drilled it for the bolts so they lined up with the gear holes. I then took the bolts with washers and screwed them into the threads in the gear. I would tighten easch side slowly untill it would back off a little. Then I would add more washers and repeat the same process. Once I got the gear to the edge of the crankshaft, I stuck a scoket in the hole and removed alot of the washers and just kept on working it out slowly. It took some patience but I got it off and I did not have to remove the radiator. When I got the oil pump back on I lubed the shaft and tapped it back on with the side of my hammer. Like a glove!!! Hope this helps. If you are like me you have enough stuff kicking around in your garage to make this work. If not get the puller or make a trip to the home depot. Transformers transform and roll out....

I heard this morning that the eye of the storm is going to hit St. Lucie county. I am taking no chances. We are boarding up tonight and leaving thursday. My wife and I like Macon, GA (cause we are rednecks) so we are going to hightail it there or Atlanta. Hope everyone gets through this unharmed.

I said it like that because I was overly excited to see that someone else is a strogbad fan. Not many people know of his existance. I know it sounds stupid but if you saw it you would understand. Sorry for the caps and large letters. Sometimes you just have to.

Use spray-in bedliner (can also be rolled on). It is tough, available in many colors and nobody else in your neighborhood will have it. There are a few companies that make it. Rhino lining is one of the best. Line-X is another good one as well. It can be applied as thick or as thin as you want it.

I miss my Lakewood home. STUPID FLORIDA!! IT'S NOT THE HEAT IT'S THE HUMIDITY! GO NUGGETS! GO BRONCOS! GO AVS!!!!!!!!

Pretty good for a manlike ape that lives in the hills of WA. You know I only said this so I can have my name across the entire first page. I got plugged into the matrix this morning and downloaded all the Subaru shop manuals. I know Ju Jitsu.....

Simple fix. Go to your nearest parts store and get a 12 volt heavy duty relay. Go online and get the wiring diagram of a relay and study it. Once you feel confident that you k now what goes where, wire up the relay so that the second fan comes on when the first fan comes on. Problem solved. 1. Relay has 5 terminals 1. Const power 2. switched power (from POS side of working fan) 3. Ground (duh) 4. Directly across from #1 is power to your POS side of non-working fan 5. This terminal is not used. (the one in the middle if the two that run parallel to each other.) You will see what I mean. Use a good sized wire (nothing too heavy) and the proper connectors. Wouldn't hurt to cover the terminals in silicone once you are sure the set-up is working. (Mount relay to safe place away from heat or moisture, wouldn't hurt to cover entire relay in silicone) Hope this helps

I would hire you in a heartbeat but what you don't know about FL is.....there are not that many Subarus here. There is no snow, no ice. Just rain. Four wheel drive can't even help some of these people when it rains. It's as if they forget how to drive. I get paid $21.00 an hour to sit on my keester and type on the keyboard like I am doing now. If I had my own shop that would require more throwing the wrench and sweating. I do enough of that on my own car.....and that costs me money. I am going to single handedly bring back the Budwiser penguin. Dooby dooby doo...

Here is what I know. I have a 90 Legacy wagon. When the car is fisrt turned on, no fans are on. When the vehicle reaches normal operating temp the first fan kicks on. (the pass side) When the car is being driven hard, idling too long or the A/C is in use the 2nd fan kicks on. (drivers side) When moving from CO to FL I wired up a relay so that both fans ran at all times when the car was turned on. Lets just say the engine stayed nice and cool even with the A/C on Climbing hills. Hope this helps

My 90 Legacy does the same thing. IF you find out what it is please shoot me an e-mail or just post it up on here. Thanks

IS THAT STRONGBAD AS YOUR AVATAR?

I know this is going to sound foolinsh and you will never hear me say this again, but....go to the dealer. They really can't be all that much. If that doesn't work call your local "salvage" yards and ask if they have any of your vehicle in stock and ask for a price. You could do what I do and just go down there, pull the part and then show it to them and ask "how much?" They will have no clue what it is and say "it yours" or $0.50. Hope this helps. I also hope you are selling your Subaru to buy a newer one.

That was pretty funny. Did you compare a Subaru to a VW? I had to go wipe the tears from my Legacys headlights. She was crushed. You apologize for that.

I have the brochure for the impreza line in my hand. It says the base models come with the 5 spoke 16in , the outback special ED comes with 7 spoke 16in, and the STi comes with the 17in BBS. I hope this helps.

The commercials I speak of are for the legacy. I am going to set my TIVO to record all Subaru commercials from now on and then use my "wayback" machine to go back in time (Huey Lewis song starts to play) and see exactly wich commercial said that about wich vehicle. Mr. Peabody do we have to do it again?

So lets get this straight. You were changing the brake fluid and you shorted out your entire electrical system. That is odd because the other day I was washing my rear window and all the tires fell off. I am going to assume you had some sort of metal tool in the engine compartment around the passengers side headlight area. Maybe the tool hit both battery terminals when you were jacking up said vehicle or driving it onto a ramp or ramps. Did you have to use a die grinder to free this tool from the terminals seeing as how it welded itself to the terminals. Step 1: Get a new battery step 2: Install battery terminal covers step 3: LEarn how to use an OHM meter or 12Volt test light and just start checking for juice. Chances are there is a fusable link somewhere before the harness. Also check all the fuses under the hood and under the dash. Just remember that just because they look ok does not mean they are. A hariline crack can cause it not to work. This is when the meter comes into play. Test them all for continuity. Step 4: Fix the problem and just use an ounce of prevention next time. We all make mimstakes.

The commercial also says that if you buy a new 05 Subaru, you can also date Sheryl Crow and win the Tour De France. Sorry...I was dreaming again. I wonder if Lance gets free cars. Things that make you go Hmmmmm.. The comercial actualy say, "We are rocket scientists," and "We have created a monster. A 250hp turbo charged, symetrial all-wheel drive...." They also "re-invented the wheel." HEY LANCE! IF YOU ARE READING THIS CAN I GET YOU TO SIGN MY CAR???
