Where abouts did you buy the stuff? Looking to do a drain/refill this weekend

Cheers for the reply, I just gave Subaru Greenlane a ring, turns out that the only ATF they supply is Motul ATF 1A for 25 bucks for a 1L bottle, crazy. Fluid alternatives? Valvoline Maxlife ATF? I'd rather not pay $275 for 11L of this stuff unless its the only thing that'll work. I'll have a look at the suspension/brakes over the long weekend, pads/Bushes/Endlinks are cheap so i'll start there.

Alright after having the new Leggy for a few days there are a few things i need to address, car deets in signature. TRANSMISSION The transmission has a weird knock whilst somewhere between fourth and third gear, it knocks ONLY on downshifts and this is just while hooning around is normal drive mode, seems like its having issues with the converter lockup? Basically when i'm slowing down and the transmission changes down i get a good knock which will wake me up, this happens whilst fully warmed up too, its NOT a bushing. Fluid looks pretty gnarly, Should i be going to the dealer and buying the liquid gold subaru HP ATF that i hear this trans NEEDS to operate well? Should i go get the new transmission .PAK file reflashed at the dealer too? Should i slap on a new spin on AT filter? I lopped off the battery cables overnight and the issue went away but has returned today. BRAKES Ive got kinda bad steering wheel wobble under brakes, my front discs are probably poked, Anywhere in NZ i can get these for a decent price? What size/part numbers are they? Could it be the pads? Ill probably try new pads first as ill want to be changing them anyway if i get new discs. SUSPENSION The suspension is a bit knocky and unsettled when driving over some of Aucklands worser roadwork, Ive had the endlink knock on other subaru's and it does not sound very much like that. Could it be my bilsteins, are these easy to get rebuilt or is it more cost effect to whack in a new set? Also when it comes to suspension upgrades, are the endlinks even worth replacing if they worn out or loose? I'll probably be throwing in a better swaybar in the rear so stop the body roll, are endlinks worth doing as an upgrade alongside sway bars? Ill probably throw more questions in here once ive remembered them. Cheers guys, feel free to roast me for asking too many questions. Cheers, My sig aint showing up (2004 Legacy BPE Spec B 3.0r)

Induction noise?

After borrowing my mates 2003 H6 for week I decided to go with a 2004 3.0r with moon roof, cruise control and 5 speed auto. Picking it up tomorrow! The 6's are so damn smooth, I got about the same fuel consumption with the h6 this week as from my previous bp5 wagon? Probably cause of 4 speed and underpowered.

He suspects its a blown turbo, I didn't actually get to drive it but its getting no boost, so it could be another issue. He wants 7 but i think its worth closer to 6. Ideally wanting something low-kms as my last legacy was really problematic due to the distance travelled and cost me far too much than i'd like to admit. Ill have a gander at some more BP5's

Hey all, I am brand new to these forums, to cut this short : I am AJ I am 21 I live in central/west Auckalnd I just sold my BP5 2004 Legacy A/T and looking for something a bit more exciting. Keen to get involved with the Subaru world I'm currently taking a look at a 2001 Legacy BH5 E-tune with an auto trans (Not ideal but hear me out) Its got the twin turbo Ej20, its done a low 112 kms, has the awesome cupholder in the dash and twin sunroof and is pretty tidy all round. Its had the belt and all that done, knock sensors, plugs. The owner has a blitzen wagon and a wicked old Subaru SVX with almost no clearcoat left on it. He's from the UK and seems to switched on when it comes to the Subaru stuff, basically he's doesn't seem like the car thrasher. He believes its got a blown primary turbo which is preventing it from boosting so he's going to get that sorted before i actually take it for a drive, is this a common issue? A mate of mine is coming with me who previously has owned an E-tune, Ill be checking out the car for any issues and looking at its service history. Are there any owners on here that want to tell me to save my bucks for a newer single turbo model, or go for it? Wanting a fun all rounder i can take the beach and also drive to work (If i drive granny spec will i get okay fuel consumption?) or is a H6 3.0 a better contender? Cheers
