Friends Legacy 2.2 has over heated a couple of times. When I fill the coolant, it runs fine for me. I know the HG leaks are sometimes hard to find. There was oily black stuff in the overflow bottle. A good indicatoe to me it's the HG. I've run it over 100 miles, short trips and the temp gauge is alway just under half and steady as can be. Small coolant leak that I have not found? HG that need to be run hard to leak? Would the Subaru Coolant conditioner be any good on a 1999 2.2? Thanks, Larry

I've had the little bumper on the pedal come off and the switch push rod goes right through the hole. Crazy.

If they can't buy it with savings/cash and have money for the insurance they should not get it!

Yes put the E brake on before shifting into park and turning off the car. It will keep the tension off the parking lock in the trans.

Put the E-brake on when you park.

Just try the mechanical release, push a 1/4" rod down the hole to release. If that works it's electrical.

have you given it a good inspection on a lift? pan dented?

www.car-part.com will give you a good idea of what's at the yards.

Yes the screws on the bottom an the top has plastic tabs that slip into metal clips in the dash.

It snaps into little plastic clips on the sides. You have to push them back for it to be removed. Junkyard is a good place to practice!

co-worker had something like this. He got the sensor from the yard and put it in. problem solved.

Work with care the hoses will be hard and the plastic barb in the valve is easy to snap off. Yard would be my 1st choice.

If you need one, I could dig through parts.

Under intake manifold on passenger side. If my memory is correct.

Valve and line are fine. Could still be the control valve or vaccum hoses.

vibration in the seat bottom is also an indication of rear wheel problems.

with the pump out you will have a good view inside. everyone I've opened has been very clean.

Many are 30 days. It workes or it fails. extended is a wast of $$

They can be very tight. I've used a tubing wrench. The flat 6 sides work well. In the yards a vise grip works. Before you go to the trouble of removing it, do the troubleshooting using a hand vacuume pump to open the egr with the engine at idle.

Some good info and troubleshooting. https://www.delphiautoparts.com/usa/en-US/resource-center/basics-egrs-what-they-do-how-they-work-how-troubleshoot

#3 It goes from the egr valve to the cylinder HEAD.
