Dont forget to check the universals on the driveshaft. nipper

YOu are getting the cam seals replaced, the main seal, and the oil pump resealed? Ah yes, the subaru automatic antirust system. nipper

Your kidding. No coal or biscuit for you. Two Words - Seperator Plate. nipper

Thats a mistake (just to dump it cause it leaks), get another estimate. You are due for a timing belt every 60,000 miles. Every other timing belt the water pump, cam seals, main seal, and (reseal) the oil pump should be done too to avoid the leaks. The reason to pull the engine is that there is a plastic seperator plate that is leaking. This has to be replaced with a metal one to fix this once and ofr all. Any shop can do this work, so no need to go to a dealer. nipper

Give your daughter a pat on the back for knowing enough to watch the temp sensor and not letting the engine cook. This is a very fixable engine. Yes you have a blown HG. Usually when people notice the car has over heated, the temp gauge has been pegged for who knows how long and ruin the bottom end. Replace the HG with one from subaru, get a valve job, get the heds milled and continue on untill the doors fall off (about year 2020). Do not one just one HG. Do not use any sealers, as they only operate at 14-16 psi, not the 10-15,000 psi in the combustion chamber. nipper

I would pull it and properly inspect the engine. nipper

If its already broken, you can't make it any worse. Try to clean the contacts. If not a used one will work. nipper

Of course they do. You cant use any old hammer, you use a "calibrated" hammer nipper

Thats a bad strut. Thats the worst case of cupping I have ever seen. Drive down the raod at 30 mph and up to your normla highwya speed. Have a freind follow you. Lets see if that tire is bouncing. That vibration your feeling is both the cupping of the tire, and the tire bouncing on and off the road. nipper

Dumb Question, you did unplug the green diagnostic connectors didnt you? nipper

Thats normal on a cold engine in winter. The oil is really thick. My 1987 used to peg the gauge till the oil warmed up. nipper

Thats what i am thinking. nipper

It's always there to some degree, its something all AWD's do to some degree normally. Blu has 40K on his AWD unit, and it shows up when I back out of a parking space, but not when going forward. At full lock, once it overcomes the initial bind, it should release. nipper

There really isnt anything to the switch, which can easily be checked out with a meter. I think its the control/delay module. nipper

U haul? Another thing to loo at is the terminal them selves. What happens when you turn on the 4 ways? There are not many places where these circuits cross to have a short. nipper

SO if the fuel pump is not running, look at the fuel pump relay, and its connector. Clean the connectors and replace the relay. nipper

We love closure. Even better when its cheap closure. nipper

According to 1st subaru 95-97 legacies all use the same pump. Thank You.

Blu is a 1997 with a 2.5L so if you could i would like it. It's funny. My best freind and I were in the car yesterday, and he kept saying "do you hear music" (radio was off). We checked the ipod, cell phones etc, and couldnt find it. This morning Blu was singing his little heart out, figured out its the fuel pump getting noisey. nipper

I see no reason why not (except you guys get up a god awful hour). Blu has a noisey fuel pump thats making me nervous that I would like to replace first. 220,000 miles, damn, they just dont make things last anymore on a more serious note i'm getting used to being in chronic pain, so I should be able to. nipper

HAHAHA Funny hes an eagle scout in central NJ, but terrifed of driving. i tell ya the kid aint normal. Don't they have a badge for driving? nipper

Lots of information on using 2.2 and 2.5 on yahoo lists, so personally i would stick them unless you can get a new H6 nipper

Its done all the time nipper

Lets review. Installing the fuse sends a signal to the ECU to hold the Duty C solenoid wide open. This dumps all the hydraulic pressure to the clutch pack, and bypasses the internal pressure valve. If The Internal pressure valve (which is a spool valve) has an erosion issue (causing leaks), this action will disable the AWD. If the clutch pack has internal seal leakes, again, the DUTY being held wide open will dump all the pressure and not allow the clutchpack to engage. Everyone seems to forget that there is far more to the AWD system then just a solenoid and a valve. http://legacycentral.org/library/torquebind.htm Just food for thought.

HAHAHAHA what no cotten rope? nipper
