    2001 BH5 Legacy HID Headlight Issue

    in Electrical

    Posted

    So one of my headlights aren't working, yep .. '01 Legacy BH5 GT-B (facelift) with HID bulbs factory.

    So I first noticed the light pulsed when turned on then eventually stopped pulsing until it's not on at all. For this reason I'm confident it isn't just the bulb needing to be replaced (please correct me if I'm wrong)!

    I would have a play myself but being HID which I have no experience with I'd rather not.

    Possible causes? Anyone had a similar issue before? The Monday to Friday wagon needs a WoF!

    Thank you muchly gents! ;)

    I'll go right back to when I first viewed the car. The car was showing a CEL. He claimed it to be the same sensor. I asked him to go get it fixed and if it comes back with no codes then I'll buy the car, which it did.

    With regards to the tune, the old owner claimed to have run it on 95. Right from the word go, I have always religiously run on BP 98. I did a few tanks on BP 98, then had the ECU reset.

    Anyway, problem is fixed. New fuel/air ratio sensor has been installed (genuine Subaru part). Comparing the two, I don't think the one that broke was an original part like I was assured ..

    My reasons are, the new genuine one I bought had chassis clips to clip the wire to the chassis up to the plug, where the broken one didn't, it was just cable tied with no factory mounting clips. Also, the numbers were different on both sensors. I expected them to be exactly the same. The part numbers were correct, but on the broken one there were different markings and numbers ..

    Feeling a bit let down as I'm rather confident the old owner purposely did not pay big bucks for a genuine part, instead tell me otherwise.

    Alright gents, answers ..

    Spent a few hours this arvo at Ray Hartly's in town. Air/Fuel Ratio sensor has gone bye byes .. Not sure how I managed to get code P0128 (thermostat malfunction), but never mind. I'll trust the laptop.

    $560 for a genuine replacement. Has to be unfortunately ..

    Now the question is, that part was replaced 10 months ago before I bought the car by the previous owner (yes it was a genuine Subaru item) .. The sensor is still shiny, it's that new. Why would it already pack a sad and will the replacement sensor pack up after 10 months also?

    Yeah most likely the Rocker Gasket leaking. Could also be a split Secondary Oil Pipe or a torn CV Boot spraying Grease.

    Is it a burnt Oil smell?

    Edit: Your Secondary & Down Pipe must be coated.

    Thanks for that. Honestly, to me it smells almost like rubber burning. There was also what felt like an excessive amount of heat coming from there also.

    Going to check I don\'t have a seized piston in the caliper also.

    Alright gents without starting a new thread. I\'ve noticed a horrible smell and little smoke coming from my drivers side wheel well. Always after a good drive or if I decide to blow the cobwebs from the second turbo charger out on the way home. :P

    I\'m also presuming it\'s my rocker cover gaskets onto my exhaust as I know they need replacing. Could it possibly be anything else?
