overheating in very cold weather
nipper replied to subestyle18's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXVery first thing to do is get yourself a hydrgometer and test the coolant to see what you have protection down too. Cold weather can be just as hard on an engine as hot weather. The very first thing i would suspect is the thermostat. How ols is the t-stat and the radiator cap? nipper

running on 3 cylinders

running on 3 cylinders
nipper replied to mattejb's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXVery very bad idea if you want the bottom end of the engine to last. You will waste a lot of fuel, add alot of pollution, have an engine that is vibrating badly and working alot harder then it should to make the car go. You will also have a dramatic loss of power. Other then that it's your car and your money. nipper

Newer air bag/seat belt replacement
nipper replied to idosubaru's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXEach car model is different, but soobies will break the windshield when they go off most the time. Thye use the windshield to help wedge the bag in place so it does its job, and canbe mounted where it is in the dash. nipper

Newer air bag/seat belt replacement
nipper replied to idosubaru's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThere are many differnt systems out there. Some have motors, some use explosives, some use cables. pre-tensioners have been around since the 80's on luxury and saftey enhanced cars (volvo MB saab). As the technology proved itself, and as crash survivbilty became a selling point, they have become more common and cheaper to produce. MOst now use what was described or small explosive charges, as the cable and motor systems had to react as the accident was happening. I am not quite sure what year they started on, but yes very expensive to replace. nipper

Newer air bag/seat belt replacement
nipper replied to idosubaru's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXSo instead of a lump of coal you got an h-6, interesintg. OK the pin is the pretensioner, yes you need new seatbelts. Airbags are looking for very specific impact profiles, so yes they wouldnt have gone off if the impact wasnt proper. They are there more for SUV impact then other cars. The brunt of the impact was probably low enough not to trigger the side, but the shock got transmitted to the frame which the front sensors picked up on. nipper

rapid directional
nipper replied to mrfeh's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXNot strange, you have a burned out or shorted bulb someplace. The flasher uses the resistance of the bulbs to help time it. When one bulb goes out, it flahses faster. On older ones they are bi-metalic strips, so a burned out bulb wouldnt allow the strip to heat up enough and it would stay on. Remove bulbs and check them physiclly, especially the dual filament bulbs. nipper
