Thanks for your tip. I will request an inspection. However, the last owner of the car stated that he changed the radiator.

Guys, I have a 2008 aspirated Legacy 3.0. My car is getting hot easily. Any climb greater than 2 miles, going up to 60 mph, the car reaches 212°F, and then I have to take my foot off, it quickly returns to 203°F, if I accelerate hard it reaches 215°F which is when the needle passes the middle and begins to boil. At high speeds for a few minutes the car also reaches these temperatures. Considerations, I live in a tropical country and in a very hot state. Outdoor temperature 90 - 100°F. Maintenance already carried out: I changed all the fluid in the cooling system and cleaned the system, I changed all the radiator hoses, the car does not leak any fluid, I changed the two thermostatic valves. In heavy traffic, my car doesn't heat up, only when driving at high speed or climbing mountains. I would like to know if anyone has experienced something similar and can help me, I don't know if there is an update for the system.

Good morning, my subaru legacy 2008 3.0R has a noise of air leaking on the side of the driver's side, next to the spark plugs. I changed the spark plugs and did a compression test, and everything was normal, does anyone know what it could be?

Hey guys, I have a Legacy 2008, and a situation happens that when the air conditioning is off, hot steam comes out of the air vents. I know it's because of the heat from the big engine, but I'd like to know if it's the same as everyone else. Detail, even with the air recirculation closed, the steam continues to come out of the ventilation.

so, mine came from japan, it's the Legacy model year 2008 with 3.0 H6 engine, however in the document it's not written 3.0 R , it's 3.0 GX, and I can't find anything of that version.

What versions of Legacy 2008 were manufactured? I've seen some advertised as 3.0 R , others as 3.0 GX , can you tell the difference or is there a website that speaks?

I'm in Brazil, but I don't know where this import unit came from. How do I look at the numbering? In this post you sent, you are talking about the outback, but my car is the Legacy, I want to know if it has this self-levelling suspension.

Does the rear suspension on the 2008 Legacy have self-leveling technology? I found out that it has some Legacy and Outback models, but I don't know if mine has it, I need to know to buy and change the suspension.

I agree. Wonderful car, and sensational engine.

really thanks for your help, sorry to sound ignorant on the subject, but I'm terrible about mechanics, and I bought this car a little while ago, sorry for the inconvenience. But now it's excellent for viewing, thank you all.

Thanks. I'm going to contact him, but I was sent the following alternative: "When the purge solenoid starts to go bad, it clicks really loudly. The computer doesn't trigger the purge solenoid all the time, it just triggers it at the times it wants to maintain atmospheric pressure in the fuel tank. When you turn on the AC compressor, the fuel load increases which changes the pressure in the tank and the computer turns on the solenoid valve to pull the vacuum in the tank and when the pressure drops to the atmosphere, it turns off the solenoid, that's why the clicking noise is there, goes away and then comes back. The only thing in the area you're pointing to in the video is that purge solenoid." however I still haven't been able to see this solenoid, because I'm not finding it in the engine.

obrigado. Vou fazer esse teste, mas meu carro tem chave de face, nesse caso, para zerar a CEL, devo ligar o painel e depois ligar o carro depois de 15s? Outra dúvida, o que é CEL? I can't say about the valve clearance, because the noise only happens when you turn on the air conditioning compressor, leaving the engine heavier.

Is this solenoid found in any of those ads I sent above?

Yes thanks, I'll see if I can buy those parts https://parts.subaru.com/p/Subaru_2008_Outback/PCV-Valve/49223691/11810AA100.html https://parts.valleysubaru.com/p/49227796/16102AA420.html
