Part 1 of the electric bicycle project. nipper

Sure now its 11 AM, now that im not going. i have to pick up the new toy that day. nipper

What he said. It can also make for some very odd (read non-safe) handling in the rain. Have it fixed. nipper

Any time you post anything, we need to know model, year, engine, transmission, and mileage. Without this we can't really give you specifics. Flashing lights arent to be ignored, but they can also mean alot fo things, from an engine miss, to a worn timing belt, to indigestion (the car not you). And welcome. nipper

In a word, nothing. You have an entirely different animal, with no way out once it starts (aside from checking your tires). This is one of the advantages of the auto. There are things you can try, and they are cheaper to repair an AWD failure. nipper

The tranny issue has nothing to deal with blown HG. They misdaignosed the radiator maybe, but it may be clogged from the HG. Here in the USA the HG is 1500 ish to have replaced. I dont know the rate structure in canada. I would still pull the car out and find another shop. nipper

i replace them at 100K weather they need it or not, or if it starts missing, before then. nipper

so rooster what did you do, the magical elixer? nipper

in 1999 and part of 2000 there were bad batch of seals it seems. This is a common issue for these, years. Thats actually the best and first honest price i have heard for this repair. Usually they just quote a tranny rebuild. If you see enough of these things, you dont need to run a diagnositc teste, as its just a waste of time and your money. They were doing you a favor. If the tires are falling off, you dont need to do a diagnostics test for it, same for this. Take a page from the Head Gasket book. Nicely contact subaru. Tell them your the original owner, that a subaru tranny should last the life of the car, how you want your next car to be a another subaru, but now your doubtful. I actually wil tell you you have an honest dealer there. Be nice to him. nipper

And thats easy, just unplug it over night and see what happens. nipper

Do not lug the engine, you can destroy your connecting rod bearings this way. The engine isnt built for it. As a car ages, it may like better ranges of fuels. This is not unusual, but if you sit down and do the math you will usually find it doesnt pay. Blu hates the cheap wierd brand gas, as his mileage takes a huge dump with them. Fuel does need to meat a specific standard, but some fuels are much better then others. nipper

Re do the drain test. you really should be showing up something even if you have a facotry radio, as it has a memory and is a drain on the circuit. The TCU and ECU have memories too. Your drain test isnt valid. nipper

And pawn shops are in season now i have a hand held cobra unit which works very well, and never had an antenna tuned in. nipper

start with the grounds. There is also a wiper relay, dont knwo where on the imprezza, on a legacy its buried in the left rear quarter panel. nipper

In The HP wars, they dont care if its 1 hp more, its still 1 hp more then the previous year. nipper

Well americans want cheap cars with lots of power, and thats the tradeoff. Tming chains are noisey, heavy and expensive, belts are cheap and light and quiet. Every year we want more HP that most of us will never use, just for bragging rights. So there has to be more vlaves and more compression in a tight little space. Then throw in emissions and bingo. Only so much you can do in a little space, and it all has to be timed properly. BTW this is not a new thing, interfernce engines have been around since the 60's. There is a return coming back around to chains, but thats more because of emissions then anythng else (since they are going to tighten up again). nipper

Use the search....... and welcome. nipper

When a master cylinder first goes, it doesnt have any rhyme or reason to it either. nipper

so its all HIS fault nipper

well size = volume = surface area. nipper

I got all new parts for mine, took an entire 30 minutes to install. Prbbly spent more time then that total trying to open or close the latch. nipper

Well its not planned that way. In order to get higher compression, more valves per cylinder, and cleaner emissions, you have no choice but to have an interfernce engine. There are fewer and fewer interfernce engines, and i think all 4 cylinders are now, and maybe all v-6's. nipper

so then they changed them for all the 2.5L;s. i may look into an external oil cooler or a remote loation kit then. I have it on, i just dont like small filters. My ninja had a larger filter. nipper

Torque condition fault, i am not sure what that is. It may be the speed sensors or the torque converter. I am not sure if this has one. Good news is that its not a duty c solenoid issue. I have problems beleiving its a bad harness. Is there another dealer you can go to to get a second opinion. Or if its a damaged harness, you should be able to see it. The price sounds excessive, but usually subaru is pretty good with diagnosing tranny issues. Maybe try unpluging and then re plugging in the connectors at the tranny. If you search here there is a method for pulling the tranny codes so you dont have to keep going back to them. nipper

Rust has gotten to the rear handle assembly. 25.00 in parts fomr one of the online suppliers will fis that. A new handle, new license playe light assy and bolts. Second one sounds like a bad master or slave cylinder, or both. nipper
