  1. So I have a update. Took it to Crowes. They found it still misfiring on 3. Took the coil out and swap cylinders and the fault followed. Tested the brand new coils. 2 were running at 7v. Tested another subies coils in mine - all then ran at 12. So ordered me yet more coils these ones ran at 12v and now I haven't had a issue since. The head mechanic there said it was a weird issue which he hadn't run into before. I'm just glad all it needed was more new coils....
  2. Engine Ks are around 120000, the CEl was just the one misfire and that has now gone. Oil was sythentic 5w-30 i believe i put in.
  3. so we have done all new coils and plugs and he said he tested the coils and they were working fine. He is going to do some logging when its cold to see if he can pick up anything, so will see how that goes. The only thing he can really see so far is something to do with VVT voltages??? seem off when its cold. if i have that correct, that started going a bit over my technical knowledge there. Unfortunately it only ever threw one CEL which has since not come back. Would you recommend those two garages over m45? thanks for the help Andy!!
  4. Im getting him to check the AVCS today, so fingers crossed thats it.
  5. So i have been experiencing rough running and shaking in the car when stopped at lights and my foot is on the break. Almost felt like it had dropped to 3 cylinders. it did this for about a week before throwing one CEL. Took it to my mechanic where he did the spark plugs, and 2 coils that needed doing. as apparently it was misfiring on that cylinder. Got it back off the mechanic ran fine that evening, drove it in the morning and the same issue again. The mechanic has now changed all 4 coils, ran a smoke test for vacuum leaks - found nothing. Cleaned the throttle body, and scanned the car whilst driving and apparently cannot find any faults with it. He notes it seems to really play up when cold, then as soon as it heats up the car is good as gold. Im at my wits end here as he says he doesn't know what else to check. He has tested the VVT and they occasionally are showing funny readings. He recommends if he cant fix it my this Monday to take it to a subaru specialist here in CHCH. Any advice from anyone that has had similar issues in a 06 Spec B Wagon.
  6. Hi Team, I have a 06 Legacy GT Spec B a Jap import and it appears my front park lights are not working. now are the front parks a 2in1 within the indicator or is it a separate bulb. I took out two tiny wedge bulbs a 12v5W that was next to the indicator and im not sure if these are the park lights or not. Thanks guys!
  7. He has accepted 6.5k, just im based in chch and didnt wanna fly up at 300 dollar flights for a dog of a car lol. As i said i havent owned one past 150kms and wondered if this had any particular bad gremlins. I currently have the exact same car with 123,000km but auto, so would love to switch to this. Thanks for all the help Andy!
  8. Hey Andy Thanks for the reply! he said he upgraded the front axle to a larger size hence the suretrack front. Is a full bushing replacement costly on these? and lastly reckon around 6.5 is a alright price here?
  9. Hi Team, in the Market for a Manual Wagon to do some work on and improve. Saw this listing https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/subaru/auction-2586721445.htm wondered what general issues you guys see in it? having almost 300k on the body and a unknown engine swap. It seems he has done a fair bit of work on pumps and pulleys and suspension components so seems fine to me? Just never owned a Subi past 150kms. Any redflags i should be looking out for here?
  10. 2006 has had shocks, cam and water pump replaced recently. wants 7k for it.
  11. Hi Team, as the title says im looking at a new GTB to buy its got 273,000km on the body and he reckons the engine was swapped but owner isnt sure when. its had Cam-belt, water pump, tensioners, spark plugs and all front accessory belts were replaced at 240xxxkm. Just wondering what potential issues i could incur with this. Its a manual 6 speed. I currently have a the same car but auto at 134,000km and wondering if this thing will just crap out on me if its done 200k Thanks Guys!
