    BE5 2002 Legacy CEL comes up when turning A/C

    in General Vehicle Discussion

    Posted · Edited by avichal.k

    Hi fam,

     

    I've bought a BE5 legacy. 157 k's. pretty tidy condition therefore couldn't resist buying it. forgot to check if A/c works fine. but after driving it for 2 days, i turn on a/c or headlight on at night, the CEL comes on and goes away, idle drops, is the alternator on its way out ? i put voltage meter on the alternator and it does read 14.4 volts when running. oh also i had bought a new battery since the car was parked more than 4 months by previous owner. any suggestions or known common issues on this ? thanks in advance :)

    Yes, by "needs modification" it means "you could use the 3 flanges and a little bit of the bottom half"

    thanks boon for that :)

    Yeah since USdm is "left hand drive" the brake booster doesn't get in the way of the rotated setup (won't let turbo sit in booster will hit)

    I found out today unless if someone is deleting brake booster then it'll be direct fit. Yeah i forgot to clarify about "JDM fitment" at the time of purchase, the reason i wanted perrin rotated up pipe was the turbo sits low and flanges were already on them and will speed up my setup process, oh well made an error learnt the hard way haha

    anyone deleted their brake booster or went different setup for the brake/pedal etc?

    ummm... i think i broke my car... :-(

    Same boat here, V7 Sti. Engine had run a bearing & rebuild done by previous owner,engine done 2000k's in my ownership and then went for a tune by Pappu. everything was fine and then a week after went for runs with pappu again to check for knocks or any other issues if present nothing found, pulled fine till the road ended and then had to slow down, when put car in neutral engine would die out, then engage it in gear runs but no acceleration, few moments later hear knocks. have yet to pull engine out and send it to Marc :)
