Fairtax4me Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I believe it would have the 2.2 if it has a manual, 2.5 if an automatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcupine73 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 looking at a 2000 legacy L wagon , what motor should it have in it, 2.5 or 2.2 , i have not seen it yet , thanks http://www.cars101.com/legacy2000.html ALL NEW 3rd generation Legacy Brighton, L, and GT "All Legacys have the more powerful Phase II 2.5L SOHC 4 cylinder Boxer engine first used in 1999 Forester and Impreza RS. There is no 2.2L engine in the Legacy anymore" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtsmiths Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 At 108K a new T-belt is a MUST! And if you don't have a history do A/T transmission service as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86subaru Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 got a 2.5 motor from a 97 outback , would the motors be the same in a 2000 2.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OB99W Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 got a 2.5 motor from a 97 outback , would the motors be the same in a 2000 2.5 No, '97 would be a phase-1 (DOHC), '00 is phase-2 (SOHC). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logic23 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 No the 2.5 out of a pre 2000 outback will be the dual overhead cam 2.5. Though this engine will bolt up the intake and all computer controls are totally different. The 2000 legacy has what is called a phase 2 engine. Its a single overhead cam 2.5. Does the one you are looking at have a bad engine? Rod knock. I know a couple junkyard here in columbus that are reliable that have the phase 2 2.5 engines.

torxxx Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 weird.. my moms 2002 lego has a 2.2 in it not the 2.5.. I wonder if its an option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86subaru Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 no rod knock , runs great , needs brake work, no hg problem, the other motor from another subaru [ 97] had the rod knock, could you look around the yards for a drivers side rear tail light, for a 2000 legacy, + whole rear white hatch, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86subaru Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 when ahead and bought it, dead battery, anyway put a different battery in it, had a alittle idle problem, was looking and a mouse had made a home in the air box and ate away at the air filter, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastevo Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 weird.. my moms 2002 lego has a 2.2 in it not the 2.5..I wonder if its an option? I know the wagons, with 5 speeds, in the L trim level, could be had with the 2.2, at least into 2001...... Not sure about after that???? All the sedans that I have seen of this vintage were 2.5's.
