bdecriscio Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I've searched and searched and can't find out for sure wheather my 1999 legacy outback wagon is sohc or dohc. apparently mid year of 1999 is the changeover date for that model. I can't find a manufacture date on my car. Can one tell by the vin # or another way? Also, engine type says 2.5dcd 0n emissioms sticker on hood. Thanks, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickensheets Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Examine the timing belt dust cover. You should be able to see a circular impression for each cam. At least on my 97 I can. If that doesn't work, pop the corner of the dust cover and have a looksee with a small flashlight. Then try giving your VIN # to a dealer and pretend you are ordering a T-belt - they'll tell you. rd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e4620 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Well, if it helps I've got a 99 OBW and its DOHC, the circular impressions on the over are clearly visible, so you shouldent have to pull the cover off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
