  1. oo yes, for that i cant help you. Maybe if you check out cartalks's website you can find one near you. nipper
  2. you need the switches, any relays involved, the motor that actually works the throttle, the computer, depending upon year the vacumue pump, and depending upon year the speed sensor. nipper
  3. the impact sensor is a one off deal. They need to be replaced. nipper
  4. Actually that started in the 80's and all car makers do that now. Its cheaper to make one wiring harness for all cars then individual harnesses for equipment levels. you may need some sub harnesses but all the major stuff is there. nipper
  5. hrmmmmm if you do the steel frame at the same point of the steel beam in the door you will be fine. Personally im a big fan of being in out of the rain (unless on two wheels) nipper
  6. see i do have an interesting side thats why im going so nuts sitting here cant do a thing. One year annivesary coming up nipper
  7. #1 reason ac does not work, low or no rerigerant. There is a pressure switch that will not allow the ac to come on unless the proper pressure is there. Welcome to the faimily nipper
  8. well er um, er, when i lived in utah it was legal to have a gun in your car, and to carry one but it couldnt be conceled. you get a really odd look from people in full racing leathers and a magnum on your hip i am such a bad bad evil person hehehehehehe nippper
  9. nice site but they say nothing of tranny failures, they speak of other problems. Like the detail right down to the cost of repair. nipper
  10. Can anyone with a 1998 leagcay or ouback with a manual pup thier hood and see if they have this part too? The haynes book says nothing about it. i go to subaruparts.com and its listed on the 1998 clutch system. i have never seen it come up here. nipper
  11. a pigtail is basically any connector with about 6-12" of wire on it It can be for a switch, a lightbulb, a relay, motor or a sensor. nipper
  12. i checked subaruparts.com and they actually show it existing on the 98 obw (or at least available) nipper
  13. [quote name=dhoch14 1) How many miles are too many? Since I've never owned an Soobie' date=' I really don't know if they have the reliability like a Honda or Toyota have. Based on my research I see that lot of the early 90's legacys (2.2L) run for -eva-. What kinda maintenance needs to be performed on a 100k vehicle? Cars101.com seems to have the regular stuff, I am more worried about failures (ie water pump, o2 sensor, etc). Should I just assume I will need to replace these items soon after purchase? [/quote] I dont think any of us have hit the too many mileage part yet. 100k you need timing belts water pump cam seals main seal reseal the oil pump tensioner fan belt Then you are good for another 100K. Last time i had it done i paid 650.00 Also check the car to nmake sure all the tires match, and do a tranny flush. nipper
  14. this is an easy one, search around a bit or someone will chime in. The remote entry or alarm has to be reset. nipper
  15. leak additives BAD! first off once the rubber oring go bad they go bad. No way of using an additive to swell them up. The additive can clog up the internal parts nicely of an AC system (receiver/drier and the expnasion valve). I have yet to see one that workd for more then a season. nipper
  16. Now this is just for science that i found this information .. remeber science (MUHAHAHAHAHA) http://www.stroudsafety.com/DragChutes.html nipper
  17. sorry thought i posted that, its a 98 Legacy wagon. Haynes makes no mention of the silly thing. nipper
  18. Its inside the car, in the handle. its a simple cam and the cam may have overtravled and rotated (common when in need of adjustment). The second applictaion reset it. You do know your ebrake should only go up 5 notches, more then that its out of adjustment. nipper
  19. there is no such thing as fool proof, if there was there would be no need for americas funniets home videos. Original question. Refreigernat does not go old. Rubber o rings do. 90% of the time a leaky o ring is the cause. Also new refridgerant is not as good as freon, so it takes longer to cool a car down, and feels really poor at idle. nipper
  20. not that i WOULD ever do this myslef, not not me im an angel (with horns).. Its been told that when riding a motorcycle, if one carried a few balls from the internals of a cv joint, that an offending motorist would get the hint to respect motorcycles and thier space really quickly when they need a new headlight or radiator. They would'nt bounce high enoug to hit the windsheild, but just at nose height. not that i would ever know about these things first hand:rolleyes: nipper
  21. There is a liftime warrenty on seatbelts, though i dont know if that is the mecanisim or the web itself. On the stuck belt the little counterwight is jamed. On the other belt it sounds like the return spring is broken. You can get units form a junkward and have your mechainc out them in for maybe 1/2 the cost or less. nipper
