Ugh, I despise plugs on this car

After alllll the other work I've just done, I also have this problem.. I probably shouldnt have cleaned all the gunk off haha.

 

So the coils come off but plugs do not have to come out? They are straight through the valve covers?

Ha dang, oh well

Here's a dumb question.. if you're draining from the feed to the trans cooler, and assuming the fluid fully circulates before going back to cooler.. would there be suction on the return line from teh cooler? Thinking, line to cooler put in empty bucket, line from cooler temporarily extend and put right in new fluid jug... won't it basically fill itself?

Mount snow Saturday

daaaaaaaaaaaaamn

This is the most frustrating car work I've ever done, the screws are basically impossible to access and the brand new one is a piece of junk, the flimsy plastic wheel rubs its own support bracket. Plus I think feet only is still bleeding air to the defrost.

 

While I like the idea of this car, the quality and all the annoyances is really souring me on Subaru.

I took the whole dash apart, but how to get that servo out? Do you guys take the passenger one off first, and then the main mode changer one?

 

Has anyone thats done a "cleaning" had to go back in and replace it completely afterwards, Im usually pretty cheap but may just replace it to not have to do this again :bloody knuckles:

 

If I'm right the sound is the result of mechanism shift from air circulation into fresh air input.

 

In my case it definitely is not, that I could see working correctly above the blower.

GRP at Mount Snow this weekend, *think* it was MA plates

Black 05-07, dark rims & tint if I remember correctly...95 north Friday afternoon.. not sure if it was Mass/NH/Maine, pretty sure I was in Maine at that point (heading to Sunday River)

Sound #2?

Did you have to remove brake disc or backing plate to get at it from outside?

Ya thats one option, was hoping to get a cheater bar heading out the back but can't with the angle... will probably rap it with electric impact again, then get it higher and go for cheater again.

 

Are you guys attacking from the inside bolt, or outside nut?

I was able to torque mine down with the wheels on the ground without a problem. Getting those rears off was a pita, my electric impact didn't budge em Took brute strength, pb blaster, and lots of yelling and swearing to break the bolts loose.

 

 

Thats where I am tonight.. had sprayed them a few times past few days, still cant get them to budge with the impact and don't have it high enough to get a long cheater on it.

I get the shut off noise as well.. and infrequently the air speed blowing from vents fluctuates like crazy, cycling the settings seems to get it "unstuck"

What a PITA that was!

 

Driver side coil, the unclip wire & flip 180 trick is definitely needed

I can kinda use an iPhone, but I'm using audio out from the dock connector. When a call comes in, I have to answer it and switch to speaker phone- then the call audio comes through the stereo and the iPhone mic picks me up.

 

More often than not, I use my BT headset instead.

 

Don't know how it would work if you use the headphone jack.

 

Thats what I was trying, headphone jack... which does work with headphones. Maybe I just need to try again.

 

wtf, where did this come from!!!!!!

 

"Here's what included in the kit:

- The aux board (of course!)

- Remote switch with 6 foot cable

- Ty-rap to secure the cables "

 

whats the remote switch do? the jack is on the board so, so you have to run your own cable, correct? and the remote switch does what exactly??? actually turns it on and off, show a picture of the switch. I think I read somewhere it comes with the cable that plugs into the jack on the board, if so can you update your original post to add that to the included list.

 

so it actually comes with

- The aux board (of course!)

- Remote switch with 6 foot cable

- Ty-rap to secure the cables

- 3.5mm extension cable???

 

The switch turns it off, full-on, or auto (starts playing when it senses input through jack.. volume has to be on high end of spectrum on most devices)

In case I haven't stated this before: this kit is THE BEST!!!

Sound quality is perfect, install is easy, no 80 min blank CD (I had the other aux-in for a while) and it just works. You don't even have to keep your radio in CD mode: flip it on and sound comes out, radio or CD mode.

 

Auto-switching works awesome. Only problem I had with it: using it as my hands-free for my cell if I am talking too long and the other person is listening and not making noise it'll switch off, which means the radio comes back on while I am talking. So I put it in "always on" mode and its perfect.

 

My CD player in my Subaru is totally dead. The usual cd changer jam that seems to happen to these after a few years (of playing the same blank CD all the time...) and this still works perfectly.

 

So GET IT! If it fits your car, get it. The difference in price is negligible compared to how well it works. Its less than 2 tanks of gas here in CA.

 

 

Wait what phone do you have? I can get this to play music from my Iphone no problem but it won't do a call through it.

 

And probably said it earlier but will again, love this part!

The list in the original post only shows the STI BBS for factory wheels that fit our 05-09 LGTs.

 

I know the 7 spokes from the 06-07 WRX fit.

 

What about other year WRX's?

What about any from Foresters?

I have a question on the input.

 

When I use my Blackberry with the input, it sounds great (also with an Android phone I had).

 

When I use my Ipod (Classic 160gb), the sound quality is horrible. Is the volume from the headphone jack on the ipod too much at full volume or is it not loud enough and in need of a headphone amp?

 

That is strange on the Ipod, I've used multiple Iphones, Itouches and classics with mine no problem

 

I do wish I could get it to play a telephone call through it though

So that time it got really hot, it was literally burning. Now I need to decide do I order one, and finish tearing the seat apart or say no way I'm not taking a chance of a fire.

 

Anyone had this problem? Anybody think Subaru should assist here rather than expecting me to just replace it?

Does someone have part numbers on the heating elements handy? How much should I be looking at $?

 

Did Original poster do anything to stop the element from sliding forward and tearing the wiring? I honestly would not be surprised if I did something similar, I am rather skinny and have marks in both my cars where my boney rear end plops.

seriously? I havent doubleposted in years, feel like such a noob. Mod comes through can delete this.

lol, yeah, I did this mod before I knew we were moving here lol...we were in Arkansas

 

I was driving behind an Outback sedan a couple days ago and it got my mind spinning on how awesome that would be for winter setup. I went from my truck being the ski beast with more ground clearance, deeper lug tires, and steel bumper to the Leggy that I have to think about that snow plow mound, and the pretty paint.

 

Hope you like snow! This was last year, after it had settled... and yes I had to dig two vehicles worth, by hand, because my friends wrist was broken. Theres still like 4" packed under my car, and his Infiniti is ramped up on probably 8".
