Which filler neck?

Featured Replies

My '99 SUS needs a filler neck. Mines rotted out right below the cap/ above the theft flapper. No funding for OEM, as the recent head gasket purchase and $182 timing belt tensioner I had to buy ( only place around that had 1 ) ate up much of my reserve funding for the car... Spectra makes 2 that fit a '99, FN818 listed for 2.2's and FN672 listed for 2.5's. When I put it into rockauto, FN818 comes up for my 2.5L, and FN672 crosses to some older Legacy's and Impreza's. Amazon has Subaru part number 42066FA030 linked to FN672 which I crossed back to some older 2.2's and Legacy's.. I'm reasonably sure that I can order FN672 from Rockauto without any vehicle information and it's going to be right.. Anyone have an idea?

Could send you a good rust free OEM from Colorado!

Take a picture of yours so I can make sure it's the same.  There are some minor differences from year to year on how the hoses hook up.  The basic line is the same.

i'd get a picture like larry said, the 99 SUS is a one year model with some strange parts issues.  i had one and body parts, hitches, suspension were funny...a mix of outback, legacy, or neither - it's own thing.

 

as to the $182 tensioner, i'm sure you know but you can get complete timing belt kits for less than that with brand new tensioners and all the other pulleys as well.

can also buy from subaru and get the discounted online pricing.

or buy from places like advanced auto parts online you can order stuff online and pick it up at the store - and enter a discount code.  20% off is fairly standard and can be had nearly anyday - sometimes more.  P20 is the current code i've been using for like years now for %20 if there's no larger current promotions - used it yesterday.  that would have been $36 off a $182 price tag.  i suspect other retailers do similar things.

I'll see if I can get a pic a little later. It's pretty tight working right now as it's a tight bay now.  As for Advance Auto, I don't deal with them unless I really have to. I have had the counter kids tell me something was not available only to search their website, find it and then give them the part number, sometimes that part is even right in stock.. Actually with the tensioner, I had called Advance and asked them, they said yup they have one in stock for $92. Verified it was the hydraulic ram itself and not the cam so I Went right down and... It was the cam. That's when I went to the Napa not that far away ( not my 'regular' Napa ) and they had it, so I bought it. I normally use a small Carquest which is only a few miles from my house. They are owner/ operators, know my name, and my voice if I call them and their prices are usually competitive with Napa + they give me price breaks frequently
