89Ru Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Ru's check engine light is on and the trouble code light under the dash is flashing the code for egr valve. Where is a good place to buy a replacement valve? - the local shops don't carry it and the dealer wants $200. thx Annapolis gambrillmd at aol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 The EGR code on EA82 cars doesn't actually refer to a malfunctioning EGR valve. It refers to the EGR solenoid, which is a bit cheaper to replace.. last time mine crapped out, I picked up 4 or 5 from a wrecking yard for about $1.50 each.. 2 of them ended up being good.

subyrally Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 autozone sells it for $196 and its a speial order http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBroker/?UseCase=C001&UserAction=answerRequiredQuestion&Parameters=%7C%7EWITH+MANUAL+TRANSMISSION&PageSync=5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89Ru Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 whoa, I am corrected. I do need the egr solenoid. Last time it failed on my EA82 it was $100 from the dealer. Its just a little thing on top of the engine with a two wire connector and a couple of ports if I remember right. If I could find 4 or 5 at the junkyard that would be good. thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carfreak85 Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 As long as you have a factory part number, subaruparts.com has never let me down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89Ru Posted June 18, 2004 Author Share Posted June 18, 2004 Thanks to carfreak85 for the post regarding my bad egr solenoid. I bought a part for $85 from subaruparts.com in Tacoma and its working great, the check engine light went out and the Maryland emissions testing folks are happy with Ru's exhaust for another 2 years. The subaruparts website has a form you can fill out if you don't have the part number and Trish emailed me right back. Mike 89Ru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaRube Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 I lucked out the other day at the JY. Found an EGR solenoid that looked to be almost new. And my mechanic told me I'd never find a good one at the JY. Ha!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. RX Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 This is where I buy Subaru parts online, http://1stsubaruparts.com/ , it is Auburn Subaru and they seem to have the best prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mentis Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 I have to say that www.subaruparts.com may be a good source, but their prices are HUGE. They charge about $450 for a 6 disc changer for a WRX, and I got mine (almost brand new) from my mechanic for $45 with two speakers and the factory sub/amp included. The website also wants about $75 for the wiring harness for that stereo setup, and I got one at the JY for $5. I can't say I'd be willing to purchase my parts from that site. Just my two cents.

Warp3 Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 mentis: You have to remember that this is a *dealer* (Tacoma Nissan-Subaru, to be precise) selling *new* Subaru parts. Of course, a junkyard, parts store, etc. will likely be cheaper...but as far as dealers go, they are one of the cheapest out there by far. Not to mention being able to purchase and/or get a quote straight from their website using a part number is a huge help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archemitis Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 for expensive little things like this the USMB is the best online parts source. place an ad in the calssifieds, and im sure somebody will send you 3 for 20 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theDirtyRue Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Check out importedcarparts.com I bought my oil pump through them for about $70, a boot for the cv, and a couple of other misc. parts. So far, everything has been working great. Their prices are cheap, and the parts are good. Give em a shot for whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
