thanks that gives my things to ponder.

yep it runs nice except for the noisy belts,but i think that is an adjustment because belts stretch.

in my 2006 impreza my check engine light came on the other day and the tester i have didn't work. it was for obd2 and can what kind of tester should work. i took it into autozone and there tester couldn't figure it out either it just said something about routine mainenance needed,does that mean tune up and oil change or is it something more sinister?

went to the subaru dealer for some recalls and one of those is a new ecm,problem solved. now if i could only get ride of the tailgaters going to work and back.

now it squeals when i first start it. the belt seems tight and it goes away when i turn the wheel a couple of times. it turns ok it just makes a god awful noise when i first start it up and it gets funny looks from people. later this afternoon i will take the belt off and check the pump by hand,then check the belt for rips. do modern belts stretch,i know the old ones do.

in my 2006 impreza,my head gasket leaks,big suprise. i have been told many different things about the o.e.m. gaskets. i have also been told to replace them with gaskets for a turbo engine. right now it is just a wiff of oil burning smoke every now and then and the car runs fine so i am just planning on the future since it is still under warranty. i like to fix things before they break it, it is cheaper that way.

when i go to work at 6.00 am it is kinda cold out and my car turns over a little slow,not sure if it is the battery or the starter. it is a 2006 impreza with a 2.5l engine. once it warms up it does just fine. and now that my ecu has been replaced my cruise control slows me down like it is suppose to. also the aftermarket radio(jensen) is messed up every time i turn on the car i have to turn the volume back up does that have something to do with the battery or could it be the alternator? it is under warranty so i am not sure if i can check it without voiding it.

we are talking about the dipstick on the car right not the dipstick checking the oil? i once drained 4 quarts to much oil out of a ladies car because her husband/boyfriend didn't know how to check the oil and killed a lot of mosquitoes and then refused to pay me because he was embarassed in front of his woman.

good to know thanks

on my 2006 impreza my windows up and down switchs are not lite up is that normal or are there suppose to be lights there? also no light behind the tempurature gauge. the car did not come with an owners manual and i plan on getting one payday as soon as i get caugt up on my bills.

a lot of my connections are corroded. that's been my problem.

it is under warrenty so the dealer changed them out.

changed the ign switch and ran a new wire to the solinoid and it fires right up,the old wire was corroded.

thanks that helps a lot

i just noticed the tempurature gauge is not lit up on my 2006 impreza is there suppose to be a light behind the gauge? i can see the fuel gauge next to it but not the tempurature gauge. how do you change the bulb if it can be replaced?

the dealer reflashed the ecm now the cruise holds about 4 or 5 miles per hour like it is suppose to

i have a flat tire, rear driver side, the spare is a doughnut spare. are they safe to drive on for fifty miles? my car has awd,it is a 06 impreza.

still nothing?

fixed that problem it was a bad connection,i changed the ign switch also now everything lights up,still no blower fan yet,still tinkering.

i checked under the hood and i'll be darned if i forgot to feed the squirrels they were just laying there with a disgusted look on there face now my car won't start until i go get new ones. should i use wild ones for more power or domesticated ones for longevity?

had a few clipped wires to figure out. the woman i got the car from,her son got mad and clipped a few wires,got most of them fixed now just need gasoline and tags,and a few other odds and ends.

off to pull and save to buy some used axles for 15 bucks each

still can't open the door.

i will change the o-ring next week and then flush it out. the dealer changed the front pully and changed the belts. the pully had seperated and tore up the belts,thank God for warrentys.

my 2006 impreza has a rough ride,i feel every bump in the road. is there ant way to soften the ride? i used to have a 91 legacy that had lots of power and a smooth ride, until a woman t-boned me talking on her cell phone,i had just rebuilt the top end and changed all the struts and brakes.
