Well, got this far with a used motor/transmission. Now it's back to stopping, again. If you let it sit, it start's back up, but eventually stops again. Even...
Hey August, You should first check your wiper motor to see that it works ok. I suspect that the wiper motor is find. I am supposing therefore that the problem...
HELP!!! everone is telling me that's what i should do w/my 91 xt6 4wd however i've got seriously conflicting info...there is a shop that works only on subbies...
Hey Lonewolfone777, Get a set of mechanical struts (complete assemblies) from a 2 wheel drive XT6; they will mount directly. Should cost $100.00-$150.00 ...
hey mark--- thanks for the 'wicked' quick response as my "backup" car didn't survive the head-on w/the deer! i've left the xt6 sit for the winter thinkin that...
Hi Lonewolfone777, I'm saying, do all four and upgrade as needed. Usually, the junkyard struts wearout quickly. And btw deer do not make good hood ornaments!...
Original owner; purchased new in 1990 in Chicago. Colors: black & rust.... Car is now in Tampa area . Has about 130,000 miles(?) I was reading the fix-it...
Hi Catolyn; Can you give me the information on that junkyard in WI.? Phone number or website? I'm always looking for XT parts. Thanks John H. "k_katie77"...
Hi. I still have an 88 XT, 4 cyl., for sale. I live in Alberta, Canada, just about one north of Montana. Offers to anyone close? David ... From: Joe...
I live in Medicine Hat. I have taken a few trips to Kelowna with it. It does run, but the oil pressure is low. Good rubber all around, new windshield, and a...
Sounds not too bad... is it 4x4 (or AWD) or 2WD? (shouldn't be a turbo if it is an '88 :) Did you have a dollar figure in mind? My dad and I might be...
Its a 2WD, automatic, with next to no rust. I'd like to get about $800.00, but am open to offers. Really, it is in better shape than many I have heard about in...
If the valves are clicking, that usually means the oil pump is going and is mixing ail into the oil. That's a common problem. Actually needing to replace the...
Might be the oil pump, but it could be normal, also. When the engine is cold, the oil pressure gauge will read pretty high ... maybe 3/4 of the way up the...
I don't have any pictures right now. But I am getting a camera, scanner hopefully this week, and could then e-mail it to you. It is a 2WD, and while it is not...

Mark, Went out to disassemble the pod tonight and first tried the wiper. It tries to move, about a quarter inch each throb of the motor, so I guess the power's...
Hey bsa1215, Your description seems to rule out linkage as an issue. In most cases, the linkage will work until it can nolonger clutch to the ball. You need to...
I will be installing a new water pump on my 1988 XT6 this week, and I wanted to know if anyone has had any "difficulty" in replacing their water pump (i.e. odd...

Hey bsa1215, Most auto electric places can rebuild the wiper motor. Sometimes the issue for them may be stock parts. The dealerships are not a realistic...
Hey Guy, The only trick Subaru has in store is the timimg belt tensioner. It is spring loaded so there is a special tool to hold it in place until you're ready...
Hey bsa1215, I am back now from looking at my wiper motor. Just one other note. There should be a grounding wire on one of the mounting bolts. Be sure the...
Mark, Did you know the transmission, an eccentric gear and two transfer gears, costs over $400! Must be made out of platinum. I guess I can have one extra...
