When they start leaking yes they need to be replaced. 1 of mine leaked at 145km and I've had 1 over 310km so no real km they last

When u say leak... where abouts did they leak from?

 

Cheers

[3.0R water pump change yes or no?]

Hi Guys,

 

just wondering do 3.0R legacys need the water pump replaced? I know they run on chain driven belt so that doesn't need to be replaced. But was wondering if the water pump needs to be?

 

cheers

The ps pump can suck air in at the hose connection at the pump. Can also be around the o-ring on the fitting at the pump. And no, they don't leak fluid, just suck in air. Replace the o-ring and/or hose to the reservoir. To bleed the fluid of air, run the engine with the ps cap off until the fluid is warm, then turn lock to lock until all the air is removed. 

Ok. I will look into this. I do have a small leak around my power steering pump

[Power steering playing up]

Hi Guys

 

Wednesday after work i was driving home and upon turning the car made a vibration feeling and squealing noise. Got worse as i got closer to home(work is 10mins from home).

 

Arriving home lifted bonnet. And turned steering wheel to have a quick look. When turning steering it pauses and then continues and pauses again and continues operating normally. Turned car off and power steering fluid started pouring out of fluid bottle. Bottle was not over filled or anything like that before this happened.

 

Any possible ideas what it could be?

 

Car is a 2004 3.0R Legacy wagon

 

Cheers

Does anybody know if the rear factory rotors are solid or vented on the 3.0r legacy?

[Brake rotors - BPE Legacy]

 DacerX said:

Ummm what? and i used to run the same size tyre on my BL with bilstens and a 8.5' rim so it should work with a 9.5

whoops typo error. i meant the blue bf wagon that your selling.

 Andy_Mac said:

More like 235/40/18, won't 45's be a bit tall? You running coilovers? Will probably rub a fair bit if you don't get the camber right

No coilovers yet. Still factory suspension atm

No, going to try Palmy when I get a chance.

im thinking about doing this as well. just need to know which subaru dealer it is to take it to.

[Intermittent hard shifting]

Only get thumps/jolts when its slowing down e.g braking or just rolling and it changes into 3rd and in 3rd for a couple of seconds and then it thumps/jolts. But wont do it if im changing the gears e.g tiptronic/paddle

[Intermittent hard shifting]

im in the same boat i think. when changing down from 4-3 gear the whole car does a thump/jolt kind of move. seems to to do it when it is at a certain speed when changing down... and also when changing from 2-3 gear it will do a thump as well. changing up gears 2-3 is when i use the paddle shift on the steering wheel(giving it a slight bit of stick) and when changing down into 3rd gear is when its doing it automatically.

looking at getting the gearbox serviced with fresh oil and filter as im not to sure when it was last changed. i think ill also look into the pak files etc
