When I tore the engine apart today apart today i found out that the cylinders were scored. Does anyone know where I can get another 2,5 sohc in the Pittsburgh area. I would appreciate an help.

Yesterday I changed the 4 instrument bulbs on the Baja instrument cluster. I did remove the cover for the gear shift as well since I wanted to see if there was a wiring harness for adding heated seats. BTW there wasn't. I did make a tool from a piece of schedule 40 plastic pipe to pop the clips. It worked well. I bought the bulbs from Ace hardware for $.75 each. After I buttoned everything up I discovered that the mini bulb for the cruise control was out, I guess a trip to Radio Shack is in order. Two questions. Under the drivers's seat is a black pigtail. Does anyone have an idea what it is used for? How can I post pictures to the site?

Two weeks ago I bought an 03 Baja that had bad HG. I have collected all of the parts but what type of sealant should I use for the valve covers? I am changing all of the pulleys and the belt tensioner as well as the water pump. When I removed the lower hose I noticed that someone tried to use a stop leak and there was crud in the water pump. I have a code that show that the upstream O2 sensor has a problem. Could the leaking coolant have caused this?

2 weeks ago I bought an 03 Baja. I knew that it needed HG when I purchased it. I think that I got it for a good price. I will be reading in USMB how to make my repairs

How do I remove the turn signal switch on a '2000 OBW?

Where is the knock sensor located on a '00 OBW. I looked under the intake maniford but did not see any. Thanks

Does anyone know if the trim (bumper) paint color of the '00 OBW paint is similar to the Ford titanium color? I need to repair and repaint my front bumper and have the Ford paint. Ernie NewKens1

How do the swiches come apard on the dashboard of a '00 OBW? I read that the lower panel cover comes off then the switch should pop out. How does the switch come apart? Does it still use the Radio Shack mini bulb #7219? Ernie New Kens1

I just bought a '00 OBW. The front bumper has a crack in it. How are they removed to repair them?

Does anyone know where I can find a 2.2 to replace a 2.5 in Western PA? Ernie from New Ken, PA

I just had my '99 OBW done. The HG were replaced as well as the timing belt, Waterpump, Thermostat, cam seals as well as the oil seals. I am from W PA. The mechanic does at least 3 Subies a week here. Ernie

Where is the thermostat located on a '99 OBW with a 2.5 engine? Ernie

I'm soory that I did not mention that I have a '99 OBW. I am fairly mechanical and most of my own work. The left rear strut is leaking. The local autoparts store will loan me the spring compressor tool. Ernie

When I was rotating the tires I saw that one of the rear struts was leaking. Is this a job for a DIYer. Ernie

Here in Western PA we had a real nicemix of snow, ice, then more snow. My '97 OBW went through the unplowed street without any problem. After the city plowed the ice into my driveway I spun a little. I pulled foward, then got a little run and made it through. I could use better tires, mine are more than half gone. E
