no sorry how do I do this thanks
-
not sure what you mean flash the codes and no I do not have an aftermarket ECU ... its a 2004 Legacy GTB wagon and I cannot see any codes flashing. All I get is steady check engine light on (sometimes goes away) but the cruise control light is always blinking

they do have diag plugs near the steering wheel column but I need an Onboard Diagnostic code reader which I dont have one

Hey guys and gals
other day my CEL light came one solid and the cruise control light started blinking and I have read from overseas forums that when CEL light comes on any newer shape subies this disables cruise control (not that I have used it) and a lot of people also say that it is caused by a loose fuel cap as the car does a vacum type check and if you dont put your fuel cap back on properly these lights happen.
I am resisting taking this to Wingers as they are a bunch of twats who rip you off bigtime and have mis-diagnosed my car on two previous occasions and charged me the earth for my pleasure. Do you guys know where I can take my car on a weekend to get the codes read or someone with a OBD code reader? short of doing the old disconnect the battery trick to reset the codes I would prefer the codes read first just in case its something serious
cheers

Hi Guys\Gals
just wondering what peoples view of the latest shaped Legacy wagons? I personally dont like it they have made the arse end really bulky and sqaure. I have a 2004 Legacy GTB wagon and I like the agressive sporty streamline look. What does everyone else think?

I know what you mean I have seen some shocker LED light strips but the ones I found on ebay are acutally alot like the auid r8 lights and they are not the ugly flat strips you get and look stylier
-
I am thinking of doing this to my Legacy let me know how you go and put some pics on mate
cheers
-
thats right I totally forgot about the reflector ... hmmm where else would be a good place for these LED strip lights? thanks for that info!!

Hi
just wondering if any of you have added the Audi R8 LED style light strips to their Legacy? Just wanted to know how good it looks as I have found some guys on Trademe and Ebay selling these LED strip lights but wanted to know if I could put them inside the legacy headlamps?
any information or experienes with this would be awesome I reckon it would look so cool on a legacy

I have found the answer guys http://radio-waves.co.nz/?page_id=15&category=8 email them and they say they have an Iphone kit which integrates with the Subaru Macintosh stereo but its not cheap at $161 plus $60 for installation. I'll let you know how well it works if I decide on getting this
cheers

Hi Guys\Gals
any of you out there know of any places selling an Iphone car kit which I can integrate into my Legacy Macintosh stereo? I rang Wingers and they have one for the ipod at $181 but were not sure it works with the Iphone ... I hate FM transmitter as Auckland airwaves are so congested so anyone wanting an Iphone\Ipod Belkin FM transmitter drop me a line
cheers

cheapest option to check if it is AFM is to go to Repco and buy a AFM cleaner ... easy to take apart and spray the sensor to see if cleaning this makes a difference. Usually a clean does the job. Cleaner costs around 20 something bucks. AFM costs a few 100 buckaroos

Hi
my 96 Legacy Outback (160,000K's) gave up the ghost on me last week on the busiest road in Auckland and my mechanic few days earlier said that I have head gasket issues which I was not what I wanted to hear. I did a google search on this and apparently its quite a common issue with these legacy with the 2.5i engine .. I think my one is a phase I type engine. This is basically what models are affected:
PHASE 1 (Dual Overhead Cam):
Used in:
1996 to 1999 Legacy Outback
1996 to 1999 Legacy GT
1998 Impreza RS
1998 Forester
PHASE 2 (Single Overhead Cam):
Used in:
2000 to present (non-turbo) Legacy Outback
2000 to 2004 Legacy GT
2000 to present Legacy
1999 to present non-turbo Impreza 2.5 (RS, TS, Outback Sport)
1999 to present non-turbo Forester
I just wanted to know how many people has this happen to here at clubsub and how much did it costs them to fix and can they recommend any mechanic? Am gutted my trusty subaru outback has this problem as it is a mint car and served us well .. in the mean time I consoled myself by buying a NZ new 2004 Legacy GT B spec wagon ... yeahhawwwww it rocks!!!! But I want to find out how much it will cost to fix me old Subie and flog it off or flogg it off as is ... anybody keen to take this Subie off my hand do a search on Trademe and you will see the pics
cheers
