fuel leak above tank
nipper replied to Dangerdave's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXif its not on the filler neck side, it can be either a hose or sadly tank rot. There are two access covers in the trunk where the fuel pump and sender are. nipper

2006 OBW Oil Filter Fiasco
nipper replied to shimonmor's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXDoesnt necassarily mean less filter media, but it DOES mean less oil in the engine. Looks can be deceiving in oil filters. I think subaru changed across the board to the smaller filters, but not sure. nipper

Driving in the snow question?
nipper replied to nedro's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe bonous of putting it in low with the automatic is that you lock in the AWD at a 50/50 split. Low range is nice to have, but the torque converter makes up for it, considering subaurs low range isnt all that low. nipper

Driving in the snow question?
nipper replied to nedro's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe landrover is also higher. Find some snow (not a drift) that is over the Rovers cront bumber (and 1/2 way up the grill to be a fair test) and we will talk. nipper

02 sensor kick in
nipper replied to BIGBLUE1212's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXHas anyone come up with a fix for this? its annoying when you have a almost high end aftermarket stero, and have to spend the next hour resetting it. nipper

brake issue
nipper replied to drquasievil's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXDear gbhrps, I know its hydrostatic, but its so rare that something must be wrong some place else. I'm 45, done more break jobs then i would like to admit too, and have seen it only once, when the "operator" lost the cap to the master cylinder. nipper

nipper replied to danbennett2u's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThat would be my normal suggestion, but at over 200,000 miles its due. nipper

92 Loyale issue....?
COUld be how it got to 400,000 on a turbo motor, the CEL is burned out Check for vaccum hoses, and check the ignitor and distrubotor. At that mileage, either one can be way over due for replacement. the ignitor can drive you batty. nipper

AWD is very slow to transfer power
nipper replied to danbennett2u's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIts time for a rebuild, especially at that mileage. What is happening is that the clutches are glazed in the clutch pack. They do grab once they get hot from slipping and the duty C (tcu) doing its best to make them work. nipper

GATES timing belts -yay or nay?!
nipper replied to backwoodsboy's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXGates is a yay. Gates is an OE supplier for many mfg, and i have used them many times, from fan belts to HUGE industrial drives. They are probably the only other name i would trust besides subaru. nipper

nipper replied to obskermit's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIn all honesty it really is premature for a bearing to fail at this low a mileage (or have you been hard on the clutch. Does the noise go away with your foot off the clutch? nipper
