I think a good wash with TSP and then prime and paint. If it fails in 2-3 years, you can try a different technique but... nothing is forever.

OK Nipper, this has gone on long enough. Would you please go over to Sean's and beat the truth out of him. He finally admits the passenger side! What else is he holding back? Now if you would only crawl up under there with a match (JUST KIDDING:eek:) and look see where the gas is leaking, Sean's problem would be solved. If it is the filler tube, online venders have it for about $90 but be very specific including Vin# as they vary even within the same year. I have heard it is a pain to loosen the old screws up top.

The condition I am referencing leaks in an area that would be comparable to a J-trap in a sink, therefore it will leak out until the trap is empty whether you fill up or just a few gallons. The end result will be the seepage of that gas that is left in the "trap". Then again, it may be a different leak altogether.

Sounds like the filler tube, although your first post did say the gas was leaking from high on top of tank?? Notorious on early 90s Subaru is the rusting of the filler tube... which seeps especially when the tank is first filled up. There is a "protective" shroud covering the lower portion of the filler tube next to the right rear wheel. This protective sheath actually traps road salt and dirt and moisture which ultimately results in a corroded piece of metal. When you fix one pinhole, another opens up. Best to find a replacement and do the job once and right

I love happy endings.

Agreed. Keep us posted. Call them and speak to a person... email is easy to ignore. If they don't accomodate you, flame them here. It's sites like our message board that build their business.

Congratulations for NOT lap dancing with Bambi. Take off interior triangle, remove tweeter if there is one present, the same nuts that hold the speaker on will be holding the mirror. I recently got a toyota replacement from http://www.partstrain.com and saved BIG bucks (not male deer). Compare with the online discount Subaru parts dealers.

Who did you order from? Let them ship the others without charging you for the additional shipping.

:clap:Congratulations and continue to become familiar with this site. While you are busy spiffying up your new car, check out the gas filler tube next to the right rear tire. There is a "protective" shroud at the lowest point that actually traps road dirt which ultimately stays damp and is notorious for causing rust through. Rinse it out vigorously with a hose and you should be good to go.

Sorry, I didn't see that you weren't from "around here". The US bumper to bumper warranty is for 3 years/36,000 miles so if the warranties are comparable, your warranty would extend for about 58,000 kilometers. Does that help you?? As far as changing the fuse, can't hurt but likely not the culprit. I think your initial suspision of relay is closer to a cause.

Check the clutch on the 95 with 100K. Drive down the road, put it in fourth gear early and step on the gas to see if it is slips under load. It's a $7-800 repair at some point but again this is a good car if'n you like manuals (better gas mileage and the auto tranny is no longer a potential question mark). Shop hard.

Just kidding... as I tell my wife, "I heard you twice the first time".

But do you have an opinion?

3 year/36K warranty bumper to bumper (clock and radio fall somewhere between both bumpers).

True, the Lowoil "seeps" more than leaks but when that stuff sprays back on the exhaust, it's pretty stanky and a real nuisance.

Keep those posts coming in. Two more posts required for a complimentary smile from moderator of your choice:). Seriously though, I recently spoke directly with NGK for a question regarding using cooler than spec plug and they couldn't have been more gracious. Give them a shout if your local auto supply dealer can't tell you.

Buy the white one... white cars last longer;)

If the Loyale lives up to its reputation, there should be enough oil leaks to rent your services to reseal asphalt driveways. The engine is powerful enough but the seals leak and this one is old enough to be time worn.The Legacy wagon seems a better bet for room and vintage.

May be so, just checked and Auto Barn shows no replacement for rear wiper! That's a Subaru gotcha... At least try and get it from one of the on-line discount Subaru parts dealers when ordering other parts.

I guess you alrady checked auto supply stores? I know they have a book that cross references with Anco, Bosch wiper blades/arms etc.

...or a girl? Try to get one with low mileage and a warranty...

For my 2000 Legacy GT, I've had two sets of Dunlop Sport A2 with disappointing wear, also a bit noisy. I'm looking at Kumho Grand Touring All-Season for Northeast US driving. Tirerack has them for $65. Fair price for a fair tire?

Hate to be a pain but looks can be deceiving. Did you mean to say that you pulled the fuses and checked for continuity? If you didn't, do so now. Common things occur commonly.

Remove contents of wallet?

Timing belt is supposed to be good for 105K. Their advice seems suspect You can clean the throttle body yourself with spray cleaner. Engine "knock"? I have "pinging" with 87 octane in my 2000 Legacy GT in warmer weather under light load acceleration. OK in winter.
