MAF and Knock Sensor - Legacy RSK

Featured Replies

Hi guys (and girls)

 

My mechanic told me yesterday that the MAF sensor and the Knock Sensor for my Legacy RSK (twin turbo) are faulty (I've been getting intermittant CELs and the car started to stall this weekend).

 

Problem is that the local dealership where I am never brought the twin-turbo models, only single turbo Forresters and the newer 2005 Legacy 2L single-turbo. Can anyone tell me if these two sensors I require are interchangeable with the single-turbo models, or any other useful info (e.g. by-pass tips etc.) THANKS!

The only tidbit I have for you, is that, at one time, some of the MAFs had a replaceable sensor - saved buying an entire MAF unit. maybe jamie at www.subarugenuineparts.com could advise you.

What year legacy do you have? I would assume that the MAF sensors would be similar/same between the same range of model year cars.

 

I have a year 2000 B4 RSK. Any idea if the STi or other MAF or Knock Sensors would work?
