1986 Subaru Gl (Mechanics Service Manual)

Featured Replies

So I recently bought a 1986 Subaru gl hatchback lifted 4" and I'm having to go through it fixing the previous owns hacked up jobs.

A complete set of a mechanics service manual would be really help full. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get one or if anyone had one I could buy? My current problem I'm dealing with is getting the bright lights to work. The car came with a h.i.d. xentec advanced automotive lighting system on it. And has no brights when I turn the brights on the outer lights on both sides go out and the middle two stay off to. If anyone also has a picture of there correct head light set up that would help to. It's a wiring mess so I could use the head light wiring harness diagram. 

 

Thanks for any help. 

Some members refers as "Hatchback" to the Wagons, and during 1986, the Hatchback (EA81 engined) and the Wagon (EA82 Engined) were built and offered, so in the above link you'll find information mainly regarding to the EA82 Engined models.

 

Please give more Details about your Subaru, such as Year / Model \ Engine, etc.

The car Is currently getting re-jetted. I will be glad to upload many photos as soon as I get it home. As far as I know at this point in time, the car is a 1986 subaru gl  hatchback not the wagon with a ea81 engine that has be turbo charged. The engine information came from the previous owner. I'm new to subaru cars and learning as I go along.
