Isnt this the third attempt?
There are times to walk away, and assuming the frame is straight, the struts are good, there is no good reason they cant figure it out, unless they are a bad shop.
No this will be the second time at the same shop.
But do you think the specs looks okay on the second picture?
Have start to see sign of tirewear on the outside of the right wheel.
One guy told me there should be more minus on the right camber than the left.
Now it says -0°33 on Left camber
And -0°14 on right camber.
Should be -0°14 on left and -0°33 on right.?
And what makes right sai (kpi) go high?

Go to another shop, as this one cant seem to find the issue and they should be able too.
What can cause a pull?
A bad tire (rotate the tires see if it moves)
A stuck brake caliper (front or rear)
A frozen brake caliper
Lets star there.
Cost me about 130 dollars so i will make them do it again.

disregarding the steering wheel position for a moment - when you are driving straight and let go of the wheel, does the car continue straight or does it pull to one side?
If it continues straight, then the alignment itself is fine.
Steering wheel centering "should" be an integral part of the alignment process, but many places do not do it/don't care. Go back to the alignment shop and ask them to fix it.
If i let go the steering wheel the car pulls to right.

Hello i have a Legacy 3.0 2007 saloon wich pulling to right.
Before the first wheel alinment the steeringwheel was as it should be but when i let it go the steeringwheel pointed about 5° to the right and the car goes at the same direction.
Had a wheel alignment but there was not much to do because the rear link adjuster was rusted.
Well i changed it with new bushings and bolts and new strutst and shocks back.
At the front i replaced all the bushings at the transverse link, new front stabilizer and new bushing stabilizer.
Had a new wheel alignment but still no good.
Now the steeringwheel points 5° to the left when i drive straigh. And if i centerd the steeringwheeel the car goes to right.
this is the wheel alignment specs in Swedish.
Vanster=Left
Hoger=Right

But i also having this misfire sometimes only in the starting procedure.

Today when driving i hear this woshing running water sound from the heater core.
Open the hood and noticed the coolant level on the expansion was about 1-2 cm higher than usual.
Open up the radiatorcap and expected an explotion of coolant but nothing.
-
Two times i have changed the headgaskets and i see this again.
There was nothing in the begining but now its increasing and i have to ad about 1dl cooland once a week.
Its just the same as the last time i changed headgaskets.

Is there a way to test them?
-

At the morning when going to job it crank onte time and start.
One hour later when start it crank crank crank crank crank and then start but runs bad for two seconds.

Im running the tourque app and noticed the O2 volts bank2 sensor 2 is pending.
The graph is not smooth as the Bank 1 sensor 2 so there is something wrong there.

And this happen only one time when driving the car.
Do not leak or dissapear water from the coolant overflow.
It did before and i cahnge the radiator cap and it stop.

Do not overheat, never have.
Me myselfe believe its a cracked head or headgasket.

Have changed the mufflers and noticed alot of water in them.
There is no coolant smell in the exhaust.
-
I had one in the shop with similar symptoms- turned out to be a cracked head.
What symptom did the car have?
Was this a 3.0?
-
Yes i have done this, marked on the dissy where the dots is.
Btw there is impossible to install the flywheel in the wrong position.
Its only goes in one way, have tryed that when installed the flywheel.
-
Update.
Headgaskets was installed and heads resurfaced ,engine runs but have this timing adjusting problem.
Today i noticed water on the oilcap.
Wth i think not again, second time i replaced the headgaskets and the problem is coming back again.
Heads look good with no visible cracks.
Is there somwhere else water can leak in to oil?
-
Finaly i have a pending code.
P0174 powertrain

Found another thread about this code and that guy changed a faulty AF sensor.
-
My engine is leaking oil from this thing (both sides)
What kind of a sensor is this?
-
Today i drove the car and noticed another thing.
When driving up a hill with the cooling fan selection on 4 the fan goes up in rpm when the engine goes up in rpm.???
And it also change by itself from blowing in the face to blow at the windshield.
The windshield button is not pressed in.
My brother belive there is some grounding problem.
Btw code 33 = speed sensor and 51 = Neutral switch is this something important or can i drive along and live happy and ignore this codes?
Has anyone ever put a block heater into an EA82?

Best and easiest option is to install a hose heater.
But why a battery heater? I have never heard of that before.
