  1. 115K on the Impreza. It runs great. I drove it down from Denver today. Heat and A/C work great. I'll get it cleaned up and start a new thread in For Sale.
  2. Manual Controls, two cables one going to each side of the airbox. Good News, there are two connectors and a short 12" wire harness. The connectors are right above the airbag control ECU. Hard to see but there. Subaru parts told me 03 - 08 used the same heater control unit. I pulled one out of an 06 today. We'lll see!
  3. What does Subaru immobilizer do? An engine immobiliser is an electronic device which is fitted to the engine, preventing it from starting without using the correct key. When the key is inserted into the cylinder, a vehicle ID code is transmitted to the body integrated unit, which compares it to the code it has been registered with. Bunch of links on a Google search. Too new for me!
  4. I've pulled may dashes out of older Subaru's but not an 04 Forester. I may pull it out at the yard and if it's not too bad just get the complete harness. Anyone ever pull the dash out of a 2004 Forester?
  5. I picked up the 04 Forester. Theft, someone stripped out the center dash panel with all the Controls, radio, .... www.car-part.com and the Subaru Dealer list both an automatic and manual temp control version. Anyway, to verify?
  6. I picked up a clean Colorado Rust Free Impreza 2 door today. A couple of minor dings. Interior is clean, tan. Crank up windows. Great running 2.2 and auto trans. I'd be happy to drive it anywhere. If the swappers did not want the engine and trans, I'd keep them. Did you ever sell yours Subaru3? In Colorado Springs 80919. I'd deliver for the costs of the trip. GD you have a customer out in Portland looking for one? Larry
  7. Soak all the studs with PB Blaster or something. They break easy. In Rust Free Colorado, I'd just hit the yard and pull Subaru parts. Aftermarket Pumps are junk.
  8. Fuel Pump Relay under the dash is also a possibility. Check for voltage at the pump connector under load. You can jump the pump there with a battery as well. If you get a pump, get a Subaru Pump, after markets are pretty much junk.
  9. copper core NGK plugs are all that's needed. Subaru or NGK wires and standard NGK copper core plugs.
  10. All the ones I have worked with have been a little hose clamp with philips screws. I have seen some locking fuel lines on newer cars they require a cheap tool to release them. Like the ones pictured below.
  11. Better half's Forester has water in the headlights. I've picked up a replacement set, but I was looking to see if anyone had luck repairing the composite headlights. Thanks,
  12. I have a complete gauge cluster in COS. I don't remember if the clock was working or not. PM your email and I'll send you some pics when I get home. Larry
  13. Heuberger Subaru in Colorado Springs - I've bought many parts from them. Good discount off the counter price. Buy Subaru Parts near Me | Auto Parts near Castle Rock, CO (bestbuysubaru.com) They use to have their own parts website but things have changed. Same discounts but now its only on parts that are shipped. I can't order online and then walk into the counter.
  14. I always found it easier to to change out the complete hub, but that's in Rust Free Colorado.
  15. Yes, pull the engine it will make the jobs much easier. Reseal the rear breather plate behind the flywheel when you have it off. Don't mess with the rear main crank seal. The Subaru seals last forever. It's the breather plate that starts leaking.
  16. My 2000 Impreza will not handle a heavy load when it's hot. Towing or mountain driving. Otherwise the temp is steady as can be. I've replaced the radiator with a full aluminum radiator. Thermostat replaced. Water Pump is good. I'm going to flush the coolant system this spring. Run cleaner in the engine a time or two.
  17. 2005 SUBARU OUTBACK WAGON AWD VERY CLEAN LOWER MILEAGE!!! - cars &... (craigslist.org) HG done, looks very clean.
