A/C Problem
nipper replied to fixitguy50's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXSounds like the AC compressor is failing. What was the warrenty on this item? Subaru AC compressors dont go bad usually, so I would recomend a used one. ALso you may need a new reciever drier. These have a filter in them that catch all the tiny parts if the compressor ever implodes. I personally would not take a chance on using the same one on a 3rd compressor. nipper

CV joint bad after changing struts
nipper replied to wtdash's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXSometimes this happens. It's not often but it does. As long as you are there inspect the wheel bearing too. nipper

2005 Outback 2.5i, heated seat not working
nipper replied to cheetah8799's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXStart with the easiest thing first. Use a meter and make sure you have continuity in the heater coils. If you dont, then we are done here. Odds are thats the problem, the easiest to diagnose and hardest to fix. nipper

Can you drink in the back of a brat?
Some states just require that all passengers wear seatbelts. The jump seats have seat belts. nipper

A/C Problem
nipper replied to fixitguy50's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXSounds like the AC compressor is siezed or in the process of seizing up. What happens when you remove the AC belt and drive the car with the AC on. nipper

what could it be? vibrations at ~60mph
nipper replied to greenleg88's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThats a little early for inner tie rods, but check ball joints, inner and outer tie rods, as well as the universal joints in the driveshaft. If it makes you feel better Blu has the same thing right now. Some roads make it worse then others, and sometimes its not there at all, so i am going to replace the tie rod ends and go from there. He got new balljoints 2 weeks ago. He needed them. nipper

nipper replied to greenleg88's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXOP needs to post how many miles are on this car. Inspect your inner tie rod ends, outer tie rod ends. nipper

99 outback engine question
nipper replied to mdjdc's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYour going to have to check things, especially the tensioner. Replace the belt as it may have gotten damaged, but belts just dont jump for no reason. Something isnt right. Also inspect the sprockets for any wear. If there were any non-subaru parts, get OE parts. nipper

99 outback engine question
nipper replied to mdjdc's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXEr um , you know i hate to tell ya this They dont do that unless the timing belt is stretched or the tension and idlers are tired or bad. If you have over 106,000 miles or 106 months on this car you need a timing belt. Heck it jumped, you need a timing belt.

1994 automatic legacy wagon dies randomly
nipper replied to seth3030's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXDoes this have a ignition module by the firewall (i think it does)? the next time it dies check for spark. If you have no spark it can be that module. Things like the crank sensor can be tested with a analog multimeter while the engine turns. Ignition module/amplifier can drive you nuts trying to diagnose it. If you can get a used one throw it in and see what happens. nipper

alternator help
nipper replied to erik litchy's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXhave you priced a new regulator or diode trio vs the cost of a rebuilt alt? There is a saying penny wise and dollar foolish. Sometimes the replacement part (just 1) is many times more then the cost of a replacement alt. nipper

99 outback engine question
nipper replied to mdjdc's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXRunning like crap after shutting the car off is 99% of the time a timing belt/chain jump. The sudden unloading of the belt causes the jump. How many miles are on this car. Its not a coil pack, as it would be 1/2 or 3/4 and it wouldnt be suddenly. nipper

nipper replied to Fabric8r's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXDOnt just look at the bulkbs. Take them out and inspect them. i bet you have a bulb shorted out. nipper- Affirmative Posts where are they?
nipper replied to subaruplatt's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXDONT DO IT! Most country air comes from higher altitude. It is there fore thinner and you need twice as much as sea level air. Also city air is fortified with minerals and vitamins thats are essential for the lubrictain of the valve stem. nipper - 2000 OB turn signal lever problem
