  1. Well what you do is disconnect the door arms and move them manually to full stop. One of your damper door motors are not fully moving.
  2. I love bars leak. I dont love two of any stop leak/conditioner in a cooling system. And i dont beleive this is the cause of the problem either, as it would cause redced heating of the air all across the board. The OP said he was getting no air flow out the right side, which is not something that bars can cause. nipper
  3. Sounds more like you have a pinhole leak in a hose someplace. This would not help. nipper
  4. The subaru goo is a stop leake. You now have used two containers of stop leak. Bad. nipper
  5. replace the bulb, and sometimes doubt your friend. Soobys are known for getting loose connections on the low beam terminal which can cause this (with age). Eventually the plug will melt. I have seen this a few times. the easy repair is getting one from a junkward and soldering in the pigtail. nipper
  6. The sensor is in the disty, in the bottom of it. It is in the same place that a set of points would be located. Any slop in the bearings in the disty would have the same effect as bad bushings on a set of points. You may have either a bad disty, a bad sensor, or a bad ignitor. The first two can be directly tested, the last one is usually just done by a process of elimination. However in your car, since there is no spark, it should be easy enough to check. A bad ignitor is usually one of those things that give people fits because it is a random failure initally. nipper nipper
  7. Except he said he does not have dual climate control. Also they use one heater core and one ac evap for dual climate control. they just add in additional doors and motors to make it work.
  8. YES it would, because that in itself would answer all your questions. But we would need to hear that from the original poster, which is what i meant as that would be an acceptable answer. If its in litigation, then all he can say is that, that is closure. If it is rectified then we will here that too. nipper
  9. I dont see anything about an ignitor getting replaced (I think this has one). First start with basics. For spark you need voltage, a signal to indicate when to fir the coil, and amplifier for said signal (the ignitor) and of course the coil and the the rest of the ignition system. nipper
  10. For a part that is not meant to be replaced often it seems fine to me. there are only so many ways to install things, but i will admit Jags do confound me. Anything you do on them starts with "step one remove engine", especially whenall you wanted to dowas repalce the glove box bulb. nipper
  11. Expense Compliaction Weight Common sense Space It's just not done that way. nipper
  12. If you have heat and AC there is no reason to try to get to the heater core. What happens if block the outlets that have air flowing in them? Drop the blower motor and clean out the squirrel cage and the HVAC box. nipper
  13. Clear the codes. Soak the coils with a bootle of spray water while the car is running and look for sparks. Clean the terminals for the coils and the ignitor. Check the engine grounds. What brand sparkplug wires were used? What brand plugs? nipper
  14. Dave, exaclty how long do you need these for. I can loan you my stripes, but i need the rear quarter stripes rather quickly returned, the rest can be held for a color match. nipper
  15. Step one clean the engine. Step two replace the PCV valve. But i suspect it is the seperator plate at the rear of the engine. nipper
  16. The cylinder heads will need to be machined when you remove them. Not machinging them is the #1 cause for a repeat failure. The bolts do not need to be replaced as per subaru (www.endwrench.com is your freind). They are steel bolts in an aluminum block. Do a compression test before you go further, both wet and dry. This will let us know what shape the rings are in. SUbaru rings wear equally so we can make a safe assumption from the numbers you get. The ticking is normal subaru valve slap. First thing you need to do is to flush the radiator once you start. Oil and antifeeeze and air make a glue that clogs the radiator. After that you can proceed. nipper
  17. the FWD fuse sends a signal to the TCU to disable the AWD. The dealer doesnt know what he is talking about. What is "low miles" A clutch pack can burn out in a little as 100 miles if something is truly screwed up. Its not only mileage but age that has an effect on parts. Low miles = poor maint usually. Also mismatched tires will wipe out a clutch pack, as well as driving on a flat. nipper
