How to Brakes 2001 Legacy Wagon L
No. The abs is a flow through design. What can happen somtimes is when bleeding the system, on an older master cylinder, pressing the pedal down too far and damaging the internal cups by rubbing against the ridge that has formed after millions of stops. nipper

Center Diff Lock Q
nipper replied to Jibs's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXdoes it with all the 4eat's Low Reverse and full throttle. And dont use the word lock-up. Its not a lock up, its a full 50/50 split that still allows for differntial action at the clutch pack. nipper

nipper replied to jerryjetman's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXRemove the cross bars on the roof rack. I found a big help (or eye opener) was a scangauge. Sometimes there is no rhym or reason that i can figure out. Sometimes Blu will get 24 on the highway, sometimes 32. Around town is 16-21 (low end if its really short trips). nipper

Center Diff Lock Q
nipper replied to Jibs's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXFor a split second i did entertain doing this, a very split second while four wheeling yesterday. But just putting the car in 1st gear was exactly the same thing, i could feel the AWD shift to a nice 50/50 split as soon as i shifted. So i really dont see a need for it. Also in reverse its a forced 50/50 split. When you have a frt engine, frt biased AWD vehical, its sometimes much easier to back up something very steep then drive forwards up it (much better traction). nipper

The attack of the KILLER SUBARUS!
nipper replied to mtsmiths's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXAnd thats why you need to have baseball cards in your spokes. This is just so much over kill. Whats next, cars in bright glow in the dark colors for everyone because people have ipods glued to thier heads? But then we have do only colors the colorblind can see, and since seeing eye dogs see in linited color, we even narrow that down more. What do we do fore deaf people that drive hybrids (and yes i have a partial hearing loss). It can just get sillier and sillier. It just goes to show, you can't win no matter what you do. For the most part you cant even hear a new car running on some brands because they are so quiet, so do we make those louder too? Odd how no one has complained about them.

For some reason the NJT Gas station keeps trying to sell me tires (north of 7a). Also twice now this has happened, coming back home north, Blu's gas mileage goes from 24 southbound to 32 northbound. Glad Neo is OK, sorry about your Roo, looks great with those tires. nipper

Possibly a bad starter? Check all the fuseable links with a meter. They can look ok but still be bad to the untrained eye. Can you jump the starter with a (battery) Jumper cable, will it crank? nipper

what are rear O2 sensors for?
nipper replied to idosubaru's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIf you have over 100,000 miles on a car, and your in that frame of mind to replace the O2 sensor (front) go ahead, it can't hurt. Below 100,000 is a waste of money, unless you have poor gas mileage. The second O2 sensor just cheks on cat performance. let that one go till you get a CEL. nipper
