Hey guys,
In my 05 b spec six speed legacy i get a binding noise and feel when the car is well warm and is turning. You cannot hear it when going fast but in car parks its supper noticeable. The strange thing is it only occurs when the car has been driving for 30+ mins before that you cant hear or feel anything. Its like knocking noise sort of like its imitating and LSD. When driving on gravel the back wheels will skip a little.
anyone know what the problem might be and if so a rough cost of repair? im just unsure why it only makes the noise when the cars warm quite loudly but its noticable at all when cold or barely been driven.
Cheers

Totally agree.
Do you have factory bilsteins?
I do yeah and some sort of lowered springs. Unsure what they are, they are unmarked and coloured black.

Hey guys,
Been thinking of getting a set of adjustable suspension and was wondering what you guys have used and/or what you recommend. Not looking for anything totally sporty, id like some comfort as well.
Cheers

I’ve got an 03/4/5ish service manual pdf that has all that stuff. Wouldn’t rely on it 100% though. Not even sure what country it is for other than that it has 90% of what i’ve needed, and the 08 one i’ve got gives me the other 10%.
It's a good place to start and then confirm wire colours at sensors, then engine bay main connector then at the ECU itself. I’ve spent hours doing that for mine so far.
What are you needing it for?
A family friend whos a mechanic is working on one of these cars and theres some test he wants to do with his multi meter to test the pin for the battery recharge or something like that. Im not fully sure what it is but something along those lines. Anything to do with the ECU would help.
If you think its fairly similar to the H6 ECU thatd be a lot of help.

Hey guys.
I need some helping locating a diagram of the ECU pins for each function and Colour for a Subaru legacy 2005 b-spec 6 speed H6 ( ez30 )
Any help would be awesome!

Hey guys,
Im going to change the Oil in my Subaru legacy B-spec Manual and the manuals recommend 75w-90. All i can find in my local shops are 75w-90 semi-synthetic or 80w-90 full-synthetic.
New Zealand obviously doesn't have a hot average temperature so im guessing this wouldnt help the car as well as the manuals recommending 75w-90.
What are your guys opinions?

Hey guys, im planning on changing my Transmission oil and rear diff oil and was wondering what Brand and/or viscosity suits this. Are they the same for both transmission and rear diff?
Also is there much risk taking a semi-synthetic option over fully full-synthetic? I do drive my car hard for time to time.
Would prefer viscosity related to New Zealand weather also.
Cheers

best bit is you're not stuck! BUT yeah a spare would be ideal & I always recommend people get them
I can do most non-RFID keys up until the late 90's & nothing like the pressure of getting someone home, I've had to hotwire a Lancaster once & get it back to my shop to complete the key making process (I'm not mobile & have the basics)
Luckily someone handed in my key into the police station!!
Thanks for the help

Check with them first I think you'll find most do (they can cover call out & emergency costs too such as after hours)
if it starts the car : CHOICE skip the above
it's the RFID chip inside that's the hard part of the process, the unlock / lock part (wireless?) is separate & yeah new Battery might work for that, or it may need 're-pairing' to your car
to get an 'offical' subaru key , go to a dealer, or a Locksmith can do it & perhaps they will have a 'knock off' key fob that does all the same tricks for lower cost
but still Insurance could cover it but yeah might not be worth the potential excess or claim
Yeah the key starts the car fine and locks it manually.
Thanks for the help

Do you have insurance?
otherwise do you have a 'spare' to clone from?
otherwise I'm gunna say $140 to $550 potentially (not a job I've been involved with but do have experience with lost car key replacement as a 'apprentice' locksmith
I have insurance But not sure if they cover lost keys
I have a spare key but doesnt wireless lock. Not sure if its because it needs a battery or something.

Must be in New Zealand.

Heys guys,
I've been thinking of upgrading my Legacy brakes as they are not as sharp as i would like them to be for the weight of my car ( wagon )
Just wondering whats available for upgrades from these that will be better than stock, Not too pricey and not too difficult to install myself.
Cheers

A Tactrix cable is what you need to connect to the ECU through the OBD2 port
Any sites you recommend to buy one of these cables from? and would ship to NZ

Not exactly. Can have different behaviour with different SI Drive states that completely changes how they drive, but not completely seperate tunes.
Are you saying you currently have a pre facelift vehicle?
ROMRaider/ECUFlash/ECUEdit are the programs to use for altering stock tunes.
Ah right thank you!
No, i have a 2005 Legacy.
Im just mainly wanting to get some pops when decelerating but i want to be able to choose when i want this tune to be on ect. Instead of always popping and wasting un-burnt fuel.
So im also guessing in need an adapter or something to plug into the ECU?
I really appreciate you help
-
Hey guys,
Just If anyone knows If its possible to add separate tunes on a stock Subaru Legacy 3L ECU if possible e.g Eco tune and sport tune. If not what would be my next step? Would i be able to get a face lift ECU that has the SI drive technology and be able to tune it from there.
Also if anyone has any idea what program can be used to re-tune this ECU.
Cheers
