  1. I looked for power stearing/alternator/water pump belt at many OEM part sites and found nothing. Other sites like Rockauto I found a brand called Bando. Where can I find an OEM version or is there a better belt. Mine is cracking at the rib end. 1995 Legacy 2.2L Thanks,
  2. I have the same model and year and I had to replace it too and it was hard to take out. Use a cloth so that if the bulb breaks in your fingers you don't get hurt. I don't remember of it's a push in and twist to get it out or just yank it out type. find out which type of bulb it is, go to a part store and purchase one and you'll see what needs to be done.
  3. Since everyone is ***************ing, I might as well do to. I use headlights a lot, They shut with the engine so I keep them on. They are not as I have found, daylight running lights. After a few years, I went for inspection and the mechanic told me I needed a bulb, So no choice but to say OK. Two weeks later, The bulb went again, so this time, I bought one only to find out the mechanic didn't change the bulb, it was the connector. Got screwed ( I guess he did since he lost a customer for $14.00). Anyway. both connectors were fried from the heat. I called Subaru and was informed that I needed to replaced the entire assembly at a cost of approximately $400.00. The coglione on the Subaru parts department to quote me that price. So I did what McGuyver would have done, strip the wire, attach it to the bulb, and wrap it.
  4. That ugly mofo needs more than a little nose job. This is what I would do with that body --------------->
  5. Poor gas mileage. Obviously the gas gage does not work well. (What a surprise), figure 220 miles before I fill it
  6. Should the O2 sensor be replaced if the check engine light does not come on? Mine is 95K Miles
  7. 95 Legacy 90K Miles I had Subaru replace the timing belt and water pump at 70K miles, about 4 years ago. I noticed antifreeze leaking from the timing belt cover. I can't believe that the water pump needs to be replaced again. Do you think it wasn't replaced and charged me for it? Is there a way to tell if it's the original? Also, I need to take it for repair, The drip starts almost immediately after I start the car, can it be driven about 5 miles?
  8. I have a 95 legacy LS. Looking to add a Block heater. I saw a Subaru part number A0910AS100. Any thoughts? does it work. Are there better out there? how is the installation. thanks,
  9. Today I saw a brownies pulling a fairly new Outback sedan. For those not from NYC, brownies are those who work for the city of NY, give tickets and tow anthyng on wheels parked illegally. She had the front of the Sub up and waiting at the light. I was going to let it go thinking maybe she placed the fuse in and disabled the AWD. But then again, I figure she is a brownie I better tell her that she was pulling an AWD and was going to damage it. So I did, she looked at me, said OK, and drove off. I guess I knew that she was going to ignore me. When she drove off only the back wheels were turning.
  10. 95 Legacy 80K Miles. Thanks for the info. Now for being yelled at:mad: Can't argue with your assessment.
  11. I am hearing a noise coming from one of the wheels. Sound goes away when breaking. Do you think it's the brake guide? If it is will it ruin the rotor? If it's the guide, how much longer can I go before metal meets metal? thanks
  12. When I put the car into drive while standing still I hear a rattle coming from the front. At first I thought it was something loose like the grill or license plate but when I got down under it, it seems as it comes from the lower part of the engine. Any ideas?. Car drives fine otherwise. Thanks as always.
  13. Two more questions. 1- Should I replace them both, the other is still good 2- Do I need a wheel alignment after replacement Thanks,
  14. All I confirmed that the boot is broken on the left side. Beside the rattle is is dangerous driving with it? Does it need to be replaced immediately? Thanks
  15. I think that if you change the oil every 3K miles, then Syntetic does not pay for itself. However, If you have multiple cars and tend to forget to change the oil on a regular basis, then Syntetic can save you.
  16. I have a 95 Legacy LS with 80+K miles. When making a left turn and accelerating, I hear a rattle noise. I did a few 360 turns both left and right and no rattle. I have 4 new tires. Help please.
  17. There are auto part stores that scan for free. Why do they do that? Because they hope to get the sale of the part. Go to the big stores.
  18. I used non original but good quality breaks. The car does not break the same. I vote for originals.
  19. It gives the computer time to check all sensors and tunes itself again. Then when you drive it, the computer starts to learn your driving pattern.
  20. I purchased a non original mast and had broblems with it so I returned it. I ordered an original online for about 35.00 and is working great. It's easy to install it too.
