SubaRube Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I stumbled upon this while searching for TSB's. The recall was just released in Oct. 2005. Fuel-injected only. Something about the 90 degree inlet leaking. http://199.79.180.163/prepos/files/Artemis/Public/Recalls/2005/E/RCAK-05E065-9626.PDF http://www.automotive.com/1987/49/subaru/gl/recalls/14972.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

85Sub4WD Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 OK - I got a replacement for mine today - Carquest apparently pulled all the faulty filters in september, and replaced them with the new design - they do look very different - the older ones seem to be longer, and the welds are of different types. - Hard to describe, and I don't have pics. When you do change the filter - be prepared for it to take a LONG time for the car to prime/restart, and be sure to relieve the fuel pressure before removing the filter by unplugging the fuel pump and running the car until it dies I would suggest you call the WIX hotline - it is listed in one of the above links Best of Luck, and I hope the faulty filter does not cause any damage!!!

subiemech85 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 to prime the system the easy way, connect the green connectors to make the fuel pump cycle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
