Hi guys, I just noticed my coolant went from \'Full\' mark to \'Min\' (or whatever it is) mark. It always stayed on the \'Full\' mark so I went for a search and found it on the motor: Can I have some advice on what needs fixing? Is it ok to drive until I take it to a mechanic? Thanks in advance for any advice!

lol. I meant o2 sensor

Does anyone know the OEM part number for o2 sensor for BE5 TT? 99 btw. Thanks

Hey mate, I\'m not sure if they are the same one - can any1 confirm on this?

Hi guys, My 99 Legacy threw me a engine check light for knock sensor and o2 sensor. When idling, it sometimes feels like it\'s gonna stall - rpm varies very little tho. Between 900~700rpm. I believe replacing o2 sensor could help with this problem? I\'m slowly getting into the DIY world so thought I might do it myself- hopefully it\'s not too difficult. I went to Repco and they charge about $250 for a new o2 sensor. Would this be a feasible option? or would I be able to get something cheaper? Thanks in advance for any advice.

It seems not so hard - one question tho. how do you know if the belt is tight enough?

I went to Wingers and they suggested changing the drive belts of my BE5 Legacy. One thing I forgot is to ask what is the drive belt - I assume it\'s the one running AC and alternator? Is it easy to change the drive belts? or should I just get a mechanic to do it? Subaru\'s are not the cheapest car when it comes to maintenance especially if you get someone else to do it so I thought I might give it ago.

Found anything electronics half the price of robinsons. I called Robinson Instruments and they quoted $250 (half day) if I take my car there or $140 (2 working days) if I just take the cluster. Resetting a second hand cluster would cost $250 for the reset. I pretty much need my car everyday so I\'m not sure what I\'d do. Does anyone know any good auto electricians who can do these kind of stuff around Auckland?

Thanks nickmcgill! I didn\'t think it\'d be dash cluster\'s problem but considering that the gearbox still shifts, I guess it makes sense. I wonder if I can buy a second hand one and get someone to reset the odo value? Otherwise I\'ll see if I can get my dash reconditioned by an auto electrician and post a review!

http://www.uklegacy.com/forums/index.php/topic/90850-b4-tiptronic-problem-help-please/ Looks like I\'m not the only one with the tiptronic issue. This guy had exactly the same problem.. Is it true you can\'t use tiptronic until your gearbox is hot enough?

Thanks for the info, how can I get the cluster checked?

Hi guys, I\'ve got a 1999 Legacy b4 TT tiptronic, I recently purchased it and it was doing ok but then all of a sudden, the sportshift started to malfunction. Sometimes, when I shift to sportshift mode, nothing happens. The gear number doesn\'t show up and the light is still shining around "D" (which is supposed to be turned off when sportshift is on) However, when I shift up and down, it still shifts, but sometimes it feels like it\'s going from 4->2 or so. There was a time where the gear number and "D" was blinking back and forth. Do you have any idea what needs fixing? I already tried resetting the ECU. One other issue is that the fuel gauge randomly drops to completely empty and comes back to normal few minutes after. I\'m not sure if I need to replace the fuel sender unit. I opened up the fuel sender unit on driverside but it looked ok- no wax or anything built up. I\'m planning to stop by at the Winger Subaru (which costs $60 just to have a look) but I\'d appreciate if anyone with similar experience can give me some advice Thanks

Ok, In conclusion, I followed what\'s on (http://www.clubsub.org.nz/forum/index.php/topic,34323.0.html) and it worked a great. I used a heat gun to heat up the black housing and a flat screwdriver to lift the mirror glass out of its housing. A small tip is that if the double sided tape is not going off so easily, spray MD40 into the gap. (Make sure you clean it before applying new double sided tape) It was a bit tricky to install the mirror onto my car\'s black housing but with a heat gun + time + patience, I got it done. Thanks for the help guys!

I decided to take my chances and purchased a second hand side mirror (whole unit) from nz car parts auckland for $70 incl. freight. Will write up a review soon!

The thing is I can only get a second hand side mirror as a whole. i.e. with the housing+mirror. I don\'t want to pay more to get it repainted so I thought I\'d get a broken housing+fine mirror one and take out the mirror from there and stick to mine. So how did you repair yours in the end?
