Occasional ABS light(broken CV boot,grease?)
ericem replied to ericem's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXyou see my thread about gettings screwed by my local mechanic who i though was cheaper? Subaru IMO is better i dont care, atleast when they make a wrong like order the wrong part, they give me a brand new car to drive, and usually let me drive it for a LONG time. And THEY never surprise me, they always contact me before ADDING anything to my bill, unlike the dam transmission shop. And subaru told me, that they could have dont the job they quoted for 1500 for the same price, except they replace the WHOLE unit where hte drive solenoid c is, to a newer designed unit, that doesn't get torque bind, or isn't as fragile. AND atleast my car would have had honest work done, not some guy who charges 3000 to swap the tranny with a used one.

high speed jumping
ericem replied to BIGBLUE1212's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXHmm, did you try reseting the TCU? i called subaru and they told me it needs to be unplugged for 25hrs, to be 100 percent restored to factory settings. Doesn't sound like it would be that, but when you put it in third(shift to third so it doesnt pass 3rd gear) does it have the same effect?

Occasional ABS light(broken CV boot,grease?)
ericem replied to ericem's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXdefinitly aware of that, but my first OEM battery lasted 9 years, and the alternator lasted about 11 years. I think thats good, but we did top it up once, the battery got replaced, because my dad thought it was a good option to get it replaced, because we had a motomaster battery in there, and subaru tested it and said it was weak.

ericem replied to photo2001's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXMake sure no accessories are running when the car is off. Doesn't really matter how new the battery is, sometimes there is going to be a bad batch off batteries. Good luck.

Occasional ABS light(broken CV boot,grease?)
ericem replied to ericem's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXok, i went out, and as soon as i turned it on, the battery was a tad bit weak, and the abs light came on upon start up and didnt even move yet, so it must be low voltage, and when i put the vent speed to the highest setting the vents slow down, and the dash lights, and exterrior lights dim. Is this a alternator problem or battery? the battery was just replaced by subaru with a subaru battery, and the alternator was just replaced as well. Tommorow ill check the voltage at the battery, but the abs light was on, and the led on the abs unit didn't flash i waited a pretty long time but no light, but it said according to abs diagnois instructions, if no LED flashes, then there is improper voltage. But i think this might be a alternator issue, because once the car is started i dont think it matters much if the battery is weak or not, it should still be able to run the car above 12v. What do you think?

ericem replied to ericem's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXActually this is a good point, but i just changed the alternator, and i get about 14v, driving, but when it idles at 400rpm's you can KIND of see the dash and wipers, and vents slow down, but when i take off, everything gets more powerful. Im not crazy about the grounding mod though.

ericem replied to ericem's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXok, thanks. But i think the bearings and the sensor is separate on the subaru's.

Occasional ABS light(broken CV boot,grease?)
ericem replied to ericem's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXthanks, now, i read how to check the abs codes, and i need to look at the light on the ABS unit, now the problem is it only flashes when the abs light is on, but it comes on very rarely. If im near my dealer ill get it checked out, but is the abs sensor sealed? or can they get dirty?

ericem replied to jmickelct's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI wouldn't think it would matter, just in the winter, when defrost is on, you need ac air.

ericem replied to ericem's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXlol, believe it or not, I HATE loud exhausts sounds like a guy farting driving by:lol: well a ricer will be a ricer, i think ill get a muffler from a parted out legacy, my old one had a nice big hole in the bottom off it, thats what happens in Canada right? Thanks, never checked out that site, 100US is pretty good, but thats if i cant find a muffler from another legacy. I wonder how much of a difference there is between the turbo and non turbo muffler ?

Occasional ABS light(broken CV boot,grease?)
Dang abs light comes on every so often, and now its winter, and i need it to work ALL the time. So, i im guessing the oil from the front left CV with a broken boot is spewing all over the abs sensor, and occasionally causes the light to come on, and usually when it comes on i cant look at the ABS unit to count the light flashes because im in a rush, just hoping its just the grease spewing, the boot has about a 1inch rip.

ericem replied to nipper's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThey have one? i thought it was a string going from the front diff to the rear and dont forget the paper thin CV's.

I got this crappy muffler,but it sounds SO awful, surprised that i can barely hear it in the car, but if someone is standing outside WOW!! its SO loud, i can hear it from a mile away! But it makes the car sound like a ************ box, so i want to get the OEM, and i liked having a silver muffler instead of black Its for a 93 legacy wagon, i looked on OEM part websites, but they are NOT actual OEM pipes, says a different brand, its pretty much my moms car so no performance guys, lol. Thanks, just hate the way it sounds from the outside, probably loosing some performance too:-\

ericem replied to ericem's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXcool, so why do i need to put them in my oven? Is it so the glue separates from the outer casing so i can remove the tint from inside the lences? Thanks. And manarius i did search but it wasn't tint dont to this car it was a newer outback, looking specifically for my legacy wagon.
