I've done it two ways now. Option 1. I used two 3/8" socket extentions, which fit neatly in two of the four holes in the pulley, which allowed me to put a...
On the 2.2 (EJ22) I've used option 2 a couple of times now, and it seems to work fast and easy, altho, I do fear the flying tool fiasco, but so far it's been...
Yea, definitely the easiest to do, just make sure the wrench is already snug against the inner fender (air box and/or battery removed) before hitting the ...
Bought a 91 legacy with overheating problems. Seems like it would idle fine and the temp guage would stay halfway up the guage. When I ran higher rpm's on...
How to fill ANY cooling system: Open any bleed valves, remove cap and start car. SLOWLY start to fill cooling system. Do not put anything in before starting ...
Could be the head gasket job wasn't done right ? I've always wondered if I'm really doing them right, or just getting lucky. Even if the coolant is low, it...
Yeah, I wondered about that too... when you said the heads were "perfectly flat"... was that determined by a machine shop, or how did you measure the ...
I'm surprised you didn't burst into flames getting into an EJ series Subaru. -- Ryan R. LaMothe Sent from my iPhone 3G On Mar 6, 2009, at 8:02 PM, "Roberts"...
Actually, I've had a couple of EJ-22's previously, and they we're okay... this is my first 2.5, and I'm hoping it doesn't burst into flames... I've heard lots...
I replaced the HG in my wife's 1998 Subaru Legacy Outback Limited at 120k. White over sandstone, leather, winter package. Worth it, very nice car. Glen ... ...
Yeah, this one seems nice in the comfy arena... and looks nice... it's black over sandstone, leather, double sun roofs, and other such creature comforts (not...
Nope, that was her 99 Legacy 2.5GT. Same motor and transmission, but a sedan, and sportier suspension. No leather on that one, but it has most everything...
Hmmm... I have heated seats, but haven't seen the heated mirrors or windshield (or would I even know), and of course I've a rear defroster... so maybe it's a...
Hmm, I wonder if this "winter package" or what ever Subaru calls it, includes a limited slip rear differential. That option was scattered around on a few...
Yep, Roberts, thats the DOHC interference 2.5 liter that my son had in his LTD and I have in my Forester. His HGs went here in Charlotte and was not fixable...
That's been my fear, that I hope it won't be realized... previously all my soobs have been of the non-interference variety (i.e. 1.8l's and 2.2l's)... I guess...
I had my timing belt changed at 80k when they fixed the head gaskets I'm now at 160k and wondering if it's time to change it again along with the water pump?...
Good morning I had an experience last Sunday getting out of a friends yard. Michigan and very wet clay = sinking very deep. My perception was that the VDC was...
... I've got an 86 Subaru XT with 300000 on it. The Subaru manual says every 60,000 miles and I would recommend doing it at that interval, rather then just...
Yes. Also it really comes down to the tires on the car, as the factory tires are not that great. nipper On Thu, Mar 12, 2009 at 8:17 AM, Sandra Stewart < ... ...
Rule i tell everyone is every 60 change the belts, every 120 change everything. The waterpump etc can last over 120, but wont always make it to 180 and wont...
Thanks Nipper These are not the original tires and I do not have a real feel as to how good these are because of the VDC. OK how about the how to disable? ... ...
I did mine at 100,000 as they were required to last that long in California. I have had only one failure and that was when a tensioner failed, and I have never...
i never could find out if the CA belts were differnt or not, and if they were why were they not sold nationwide. Though i can see a model for making repair...
Look in the owners manual. I thought there was a disable switch, i may be wrong. Also this is a much heavier car then your outback imprezza, so what you are ...
You don't say what year (if you did I missed it) but the first year VDC Outback did not have an off switch but all subsequent years did. We never had an issue...
It is an 01 and yes that was the problem, I smoked the brakes a bit getting out. I know there is a fuse for the VDC in the engine compartment and it is easy to...
One thing I will comment on with the VDC. We had an 02 wagon and it seemed the VDC was a lot more "intrusive" if you will than it is on our current B9. I...
What car are we talking about here? I got from the original post (talk of early head gasket replacement) that he had a 2.5l Legacy/ Outback. Timing belt...
