Subaru Scott Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 This really disturbs me. That these, and who knows how many other thousands of old parts there are, sitting in Subaru warehouses. With no way for anyone to even begin to find them, unless they have an old parts book. I got these numbers from a guy on facebook, who had such a book, as incredibly ironic as that is... When I bought my 83 ragtop 4 years ago, In February in Indiana, at night, in sub-zero temperatures, the thermostat was stuck wide open. I went to the dealership I had actually worked at in the early 90s for a tstat. The kid at the parts counter was, like, "Uh...like, our system only goes back to like 85." I just glared at him, turned around, and went to Napa. I was too steamed to even discuss why: 1. He had no clue that they were the same as the 85-94s. 2. That Subaru had not bothered to put anything older in their system. I realize they are only required to sell parts for 15 years after manufacture, but why keep these parts in stock then?!? I really see this as a failure of Subaru to support the survivors of their brand. They should be featuring some of our old relics... with the old relics (us) that keep them alive, in their sales propaganda, instead of all the 20-somethings and their dogs camping in brand-new Crosstreks... Forgive my rant. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Come to Australia ...our parts supply is only required for five years ! My allegiance to Subaru IS the great ability to supply parts even up to 30 years after manufacture!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfoyl Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Jono, the ACL requires spare parts to be available for a "reasonable amount of time". Typical automotive spare parts worldwide is 10 years from end of production in my experience, which I think would be seen as reasonable in most cases (certainly for this part of the market, you might have a case if you couldn't get parts for a Ferrari after 11 years). The average amount of time from buying a new car to selling it is around 6 years, and the average car age is a little over 10 years. Subaru doesn't appear to be any better or worse than other auto-makers (hence the decision to stop supplying your EA82 oil pump). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is now one less set available in tan....... Thank you for the heads up. I had given up even looking for them anymore. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86BRATMAN Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Tried to order online and says they're not available. If my local dealer wasn't worthless I'd call them with the part numbers and try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subaru Scott Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 Looks like they're still available at subaruparts.com. You have to just enter the part numbers in the search field once you get on the site. It does no good looking them up by application.

86BRATMAN Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I used Subaru Online Parts, they're typically my go to. I've gotten several ea81 parts from them in the past. I never go by application for these parts lol, I've got scans of the old parts books. I'll try that site tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru Scott Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 It's showing up for me at Subaru online parts. Sure you looked in repair parts and not accessories? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carfreak85 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 My local dealer says the LH side, the -200 P/N is NLA, both in person and via their online portal. They still show as available online, so I tried placing a web order, only to have my order cancelled. I just placed an order from the link above, so we'll see if they cancel this one too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have left over RH parts, if someone is willing to trade for some NOS LH parts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
