Code says 'Throttle sensor' on 97 Outback Sport Impreza. Please what effects might be observed?

I lost some smoke from my 96 Legacy somewhere along Sheridan Drive last week. If you find it get me on the blower and I will give you a reward if you are a rich sixteen year old widow.

Coincidence - I want to do that with my 96 and 99 Legacies. I saw a pair of KC Daylight 100 watts in Autozone in Olean - the circuit on the box was direct wiring with no relays. Are your KCs 100 watt each and can you use them on-road? Where did you get the light bar please and could I just fix them in front of the grille without a light bar with say a strengthening flat bar do you think? I don't do off-road (intentionally) since I am 73 years young. Great pics thanks. Gil

No problem with 96 and 99 Legacies with over 200000 miles on each. Gil

Sorry lots of naive questions from me I am only 73 years old and a Brit. 1. Can you fit a pair of Hella 500FF driving lights to a 99 Legacy and by-pass their connection to headlights, and can you use them on-road in NY state please? 2. Same question for a pair of KC 100 watt Hilites (I saw in Autozone) please? The KCs don't have a relay - yesterday I found the circuit on the back of the box in Autozone! 3. Would the 'plate' just in front of the Legacy grill be strong enough to mount them? Gil ( 2 Legacies 96 and 99, and 97 Impreza for daughter).

Thanks I've done it Gil

I have added a 97 Impreza Outback Sport to my 99 and 96 Legacies. A garage has replaced two of the leaking power steering tubes but another tube was found to be leaking yesterday and is to be replaced (the metal tube with nuts on its ends). While we had the car on the lift we noticed one of the bolts holding the steering rack to the chassis had sheared off (corroded or not torqued?). The garage proposes drilling out the remains of the bolt and re-tapping - is this OK please? Gil Buffalo NY

Does anybody have experiences which say whether VDC works in practice or not please? Are there circumstances where it could be dangerous? Can it be over-ridden in a 2002 H6 VDC? Gil

The AT oil can't be high temp and light flashes form cold now

Third window I got was scratch-free and I fixed lock - linkage was detached. See any of you around Buffalo Gil

I have tried everything - flushing, replacing sensor, but the intermittent flashing on my 99 Legacy Wagon has now become permanent and I am now reconciled to live with it.

The lock wouldn't work before or after the window replacement

I will register on the other list you described

No, only 45 degrees each way. Hey we are not far apart I am in Allegany but work in Buffalo West Side Tues Wed Thurs and Sat. I am all Subaru - I was 96, 99 and 98 but 98 sedan was totaled when daughter driving nearly went into river here last year saved by a tree 1 inch diameter trunk - I had bought it from the roadside near Springville on way home with her one day. Have seen a nice 03 Outback at basil Resale Sheridan Drive. Normally use red 99 Wagon 170000 miles. My grey 96 has 140000 and was rolled over down a bank near Jamestown and rolled back upright and drove away. Couldn't get in it myself the roof was dented in and collected rainwater, so I put in a 3 X 4 wood prop with a bottle jack on top and popped the roof out. I am 72 years young! Last week brick was thrown through driver side window of red one in Delaware Av motel parking lot and PDA stolen - they left GPS receiver. They could have just opened the unlocked door. Garage replaced window with one which was scratched, but agreed to replace and so they should look at lock bar at same time. I have located a good window at breakers in Hertel Av. Thanks for advice may need you again! Gil

No the key won't work either to lock or unlock on the driver side door. The key works OK either to lock or unlock on the passenger door.

99 Legacy Wagon - my remote works but the key doesn't. The key turns in the lock but the door doesn't lock. Help please?

Bigger wheels - higher Center of Gravity Smaller windows - less visibility

Subaru was going downhill before this. Bigger wheels on Legacy Wagon - looks cool but less stable, smaller windows - looks cool but less visibility, pander to the sheep of America by pushing it towards looking like an SUV. Mix up all the model names so customers are confused. I can't find a vehicle to replace one of my 3 Legacy Wagons so I am considering a Jag X-type now. Gil

I just had the tranny flushed and replaced the AT Oil Temp Sensor and the warning light no longer flashes

And what about Goodrich T/A anybody please?

What about Green Diamond? Has anybody any experience with these? Gil

Come to think of it I did have to replace the speedo head at 122000 and very occasionally it is slow to move up into drive. I replaced starter and 2 wheel bearings - on same wheel! It is my favorite car of all time I give it awful punishment and it takes it like a man. It has to stay outside in Buffalo and elsewhere and always starts first go. The engine light comes on occasionally but I disconnect the battery to put it off since I cannot detect anything wrong. The AT oil temp light blinks occasionally in hot weather. I run it on middle grade not regular now. It has done 180000. Believe me I view cars as work-horses and treat them real hard but I have come to love this one. In England we rarely change the engine oil sometimes not for 10 years - it is a myth to sell the oil I think - and I am the same with this in America though I do change the transmission oil. I keep a spare alternator in the trunk, that I got on this list, I don't know why. Gil

I have one it has done 177000 not any unusual problems Gil

Probably an old question but yesterday I saw an Outback with real deep- and coarse-treaded Winterforce tires and the owner told me they were quiet-running. In England we used to call them 'Town and Country' tires! I can't find them pictured in Bridgestone catalogue what were they do you think? And again what do you recommend for my Legacy Wagons 96 and 99 for Winter New York I hate skidding on-road on ice and snow but don't want studs? Gil

Is Vehicle Dynamic Control only available on the H6 - 3.0 ? If so why? Could subscribers give their experiences of it, and does the Insurance come cheaper with it please?
