ok thanks for the info. If anyone is interested email me at SparkSVT@comcast.net I dont get on here alot

Im looking to sell off my 1993 Loyale 4x4 Auto Trans Wagon. It has 38,000 original miles on it. Would I be best off selling on Ebay or just listing it in the paper? I dont see a classified section on this board so I figure Ebay may be the way to go. Im near Philadelphia PA. SparkSVT@comcast.net

I have a 93 loyale with the auto trans,31,000 original miles , and 4x4. Mine boggs out only when its cold. after it warms up, it runs ok. Someone told me its becase it has a "one wire" o2 sensor. this occurs even after i replaced the o2 sensor,fuel filter,cap rotor plugs and wires.

I just bought a used 2004 WRX with 10k on it. It still has the stock wheels and tires and I find that the tires suck rump roast. Anyway, I also notice that the tires look really skinny for a car like this. Any ideas what would look a little better, or wider without loosing performance, traction, or rubbing?

my 93 loyale 3at 4x4 has 33k original miles on it.

I want to put some seriously bright lights on my 4x4 Loyale wagon. I been looking at Hella's and similar lights. Does anyone have anything like this on their car that I could see a pic of? Im not sure where or how I would mount them. Someone suggested a roofrack type mount? I dont have a roof rack on my wagon though. Can anyone give me some ideas? Maybe show me your set up? In other news me and the wife just bought a 2004 WR Blue WRX 5 speed sedan...woo hoo!

How hard of a job is it to replace the ball joint on my 93 loyale 4x4 wagon?

?

ok I fixed (replaced)the crank seal and the seal surface was fine. The old seal was installed incorrectly and torn up. now a new problem ...the drivers side cam shaft we lined up the dots and it rotated smoothly by hand to line them up. We went to do the passenger side and its real jerky you cant turn the cam wheel by hand. It seems to get tight as we turn it. I pulled the valve cover off and all seems to look ok. The compression is 170 on all cylinders so the valves seem to be opening and closing properly. Any idea why it would be tight on one side and not the other? I would rather checkout the problem before just putting the timing belt back on and having more problems. can ANYONE HELP?

not a crate motor, its a 93 loyale owned by a local woman who traded it in on a new forrester. it has 33k original on it.

what shaft are you talking about? We noticed the oil pump shaft is somewhat worn looking and has some minor grooves in it. The new pump has a replacement shaft. This all seems somewhat odd as the car only has 33,000 miles on it.

Im in the middle of trying to figure out this ongoing oil leak problem I have had. I had the car in a local shop 3 times for massive oil leak and they never got it right. They reportedly replaced the cam seals and crank seal but it still leaks. So a friend of mine who is an ASE certified mechanic agreed to tear the front of the motor aprt to have a look at this leak. We bought a new oil pump and got to tearing the car down.. I notice the crank seal is all banged up looking. On one of the three times i brought the car back to the shop after it leaked when they had replaced the crank and cam seals, they told me they again replaced the crank seal because the one they put in must have been "defective" . Anyway I get the car back and it still leaks. It really only gets leaking good when the car runs at any kind of rpms for a few minutes such asd highway driving. (3 speed auto trans) Can anyone tell me any tips on this job? Can someone host the photos of the seal I took today on here so i can post them up? I would like your opinions. We stopped today at the point where we will next be removing the crank seal. the car is all apart. We have been using a repair program he subscribes to on his laptop called "alldata" to do this job.

peel out...yeah right:lol: ..this thing is a 3AT. 90hp with about 40 making to the ground probably. This thing isnt peeling out anywhere.

I have a 93 Loyale 4x4. How can i tell the 4x4 is working. I hit the button and the indicator light comes on but its dry out and I cant tell if its engaged. any ideas short of driving it through the woods or something?

how can i tell if my loyale goes into 4x4 when i hit the button. the indicator light goes on but i cant tell by driving it.

Can someone reccomend a shop in the philadelphia area that is subaru oriented? Im in Montgomery County just outside Philly.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME I just picked this car up for the third time for this oil leak. They stated that the crank seal they put in was defective or something and leaking again. they again replaced it. No charge. I pick it up and its STILL leaking. Not as bad, but still bad. It soaks the underside of the car and the windshield of cars behind me on the highway. The oil leaks from the front timing belt cover. How much would it cost to just replace this whole goddamn engine?? I have replaced the crank seal, the cam seals, the oil pump seal, and they tightened my oil pan bolts and it still leaks. Im seriously considering replacing the engine or bailing out of this car entirely.

but im LEAKING oil not burning it, and im leaking it badly...

Can you explain what you mean? What do you think is going on with the PCV valve?>?

I dont believe they revved it up. It sounds like they let it idle on the shop's lot.

I also had replaced my PCV valve with a purolator brand one and it did rattle and seem normal. When I first bought the car it was overfilled with oil and I had driven it that way for a little while before realizing it. I only realized it was overfilled when I drove it on the highway and it belched massive amounts of smoke out the TAILPIPE. The smoke now is coming from under the hood off of the hot exaust components like the cat. The raw oil is actually leaking so bad on the highway it sprays it on the windsheilds of cars behind me.

When I bought my Loyale it was overfilled. It caused a massive cloud of smoke from the tailpipe on the highway. Get the oil out ASAP, i believe overfilling like that can damage your engine..

Its engine oil thats leaking, and its leaking out the front of the engine and all over the exaust. My transmisssion seems fine.

As stated in another thread I bought a 93 Loyale 4x4 with 33,000 original miles on it. I devolped a severe leak from the front of the motor. I put the car in the shop and had the cam seals replaced. The shop thought thats were the leak was from. I go the car back and as soon as I hit the highway and the rpms went up (auto trans 3 speed, which means high rpms on highway) it began leaking again. when it leaks it dumps oil onto the exaust causing a large cloud of smoke behind me on the highway. So I bring the car back and they replace the front crank seal and oil pump seal? the shop tells me they leave the car run on the lot after the job is done and no leak. i pick the car up and get on the same highway as before to go home and again it POURS oil out. Can anyone at all give me advice? i called the shop and they are somewhat stumped but are more than willing to look at it again. Could it be building pressure some how and blowing the gaskets out? The mechanic said he is going to do a compression test this time and again look over the car. HELP ME PLEASE SOMEONE, Im close to dumping out of this car, but dont want to, I love this thing. I bought the car for 1400 with the 33k on it and have spent 600 dollars so far chasing this leak.
