Give me a few days, hit me up next week, i may found something for you, just i'm busy this weekend. nipper

If this is a used starter inspect the contacts before you put it in. nipper

The major stuff would be the same. The body stuff and some heating stuff will be different. If you can buy one used someplace cheap It would work. I should see if i can find FSM for Imps. nipper

Contacts are only 15.00 or less. nipper

hrmmm blinking all the time is not good. Rule of thumb is never ignore a blinking trouble light, that is its way of screaming at you. Do a search here on 4eat codes and you should find a procedure to pull them. For tranny stuff i usually suggest a dealer beacuse they do NOT want to sell you a tranny. They will just fiz what is wrong with it, as opposed to a regular shop that will just take a look at the mileage and say you need a tranny. Subaru knows these trannies can last the life of the car. nipper

Get yourself a haynes manual, its in there, and it is a good refernce to have. I bet you just have a bad VSS sensor, They go sometimes, not a big deal. nipper

How are you resetting it. It is not part of the OBDII system. SO it is flashing 16 times on startup. That is alerting you that there was an electrical malfunction in the tranny on the previous startup. How many miles are on this car. How is it driving on tight turns and in general?

is it on or flashing at startup? nipper

So this is an auto? You have two VSS. One in front of the tranny one in the rear. They are used as data for the spedo, tranny shift, and AWD. The car will operate with just one, but you wont have AWD. The sensors are simple magnetic pickups that can be checked with a meter. Have you checked the sensors themselves to make sure they are ok? nipper

Where did you source the waterpump from? nipper

Whay are you chaing the starter, they rarely go bad, ist usually the solenoid contacts that go bad. The air box can be a PITA sometimes. Sometimes there are more then two clips (I had a legacy with three.... go figure). Then wiggle it off at an angle ( a right angle to the direction of the sealing lip) Depending upon the brand of air filter that is in there, it can be putting up a bit of a fight. Some fit tighter then others. nipper

It's not a PS issue. You are feeling the entire car shudder on full lock turns? Manual or auto? how many miles? Do your tires all match, are properly infalted (don't assume they are) and are equally worn? nipper

Now how will Wil E Coyote ever catch the Roadrunner that way? I dont think you can use nitro in a diesel. nipper

So someone save me some work. A car was stolen on my block, and the cops are working hard to keep the crime down, but the economy is inverse to crime. Easiest way to tap into the fuel pump circuit to install a kill switch. nipper

heheh did this with a spray bottle of water, the amount of smoke it made was ENORMUS. And part of me thought it was really really cool nipper

Diesels are coming. Older diesels are sooty machines and for some reason untill recently the rest of the world didnt mind breathing in the soot. We seemed to have a problem with it as it blocked our smog. Europe did not have a partciculate standard on diesel exhaust untill recently. But also the gasoline engine isnt down and out yet either. nipper

Personally i feel every car made should have a temp gauge, as it allows you to try to stop things before they go terribly wrong. Get a gauge, dont worry about how it looks, and there are lots of options out there so you can find one that fits you. nipper

Describe the knock. Check the oil level. nipper

Replace them with the timing belt. nipper

There is, but, it costs more then your car. nipper

HOLY CRAP! I just looked on ebay, and hes right! No coolant temp gauge. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cars-Trucks___08-SPORT-AWD-4X4-HATCHBACK_W0QQitemZ200315342801QQddnZCarsQ20Q26Q20TrucksQQddiZ2282QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Cars_Trucks?hash=item200315342801&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=65%3A-2%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 Thats unacceptable on any car and a deal killer for me personally. Go out and get a temp gauge, especially on a subaru. nipper

An 08 WITHOUT a temp gauge? They all have coolant temp gauges. Now thats a Bogus answer. Show us a pic of this dashbaord

:-p

Lets see, professionally speaking, how can I sum it up? JUNK! They dont have a good reputation for anything really. India they will drive a car as long as the drive wheels will propel it, and that same engineering is carrying over. They will make Yugo look like a top notch product (I researched it, as i liked the looks of the truck). nipper

Timing belt is under the plastic covers and runs the water pump. The ac/alt/ps are run off an accessory drive belt. That one you can see easily. nipper
