      Lamco oil temp gauge/sensor

      By viperguy · Posted

      Hello all, I've just installed my original Lamco oil temp sensor in the drain plug location (since it was oil change day), car is a GF8. However I've found it hard to get a consensus from online sources as to what the expected operating values are (with so many people having to resort to aftermarket sensors), as I went for a very spirited long drive ie 60km of B-roads, and never saw temps rise above ~80C with ~70C being the norm during mild sections and normal town driving (ambient temp was ~20C). I have the Torque app and coolant temps reported by ECU were reported as consistently ~83C-ish during normal driving (though i wasn't keeping an eye on this during the spirited driving). So I cant imagine what kind of environment would lead to the gauge reading 120C-130C which is well within its range (tracking the car in 40C temps maybe?). The Lamco manual isnt helpful as it just says expected temps are the result of the environment... Anywho, does anyone have an original sensor in the drain plug location and can confirm I'm in the ballpark for expected values? I'm fairly confident the sensor/gauge combo is OK as I stuck it in a jug of hot water just off the boil (well as quickly as I could get it outside to the car) and got a reading of 90C-95C in the weeks prior to actually installing it in the car.

      2005 OBXT noise on cold start up

      By B-rad · Posted

      Folks in the know say it is quite common in the 4th gen legacy. Apparently the starter gear not fully retracting in time. I'll try to pull it soon and clean/lube.

      Could be the belt is glazed and needs changing regardless.   Also could be an issue with the starter?

      2005 OBXT noise on cold start up

      By B-rad · Posted

      I snugged the PS belt on the OBXT....but it still makes this noise the first start up when it is cold. Not a peep again until the next cold weather/cold car start. Thoughts? A/C belt idler? Zero other symptoms.

      What brand of aftermarket ECU or dash do you run in your cars?

      By Gripless · Posted

      Doesn’t have to be a Subaru but what’s everyone running?   I'm adding canbus options to things and every brand has different options so need an idea of what’s worth doing first.
