Replacing Heater Hoses
Grnlantern1 replied to speculaas's topic in Sixth Generation Legacy (2015 -2019 )
I haven't really researched but I'm pretty sure Samco or other Brand Silicone gises from a WRX might fit the 2 5.. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk -
Replacing Heater Hoses
Grnlantern1 replied to speculaas's topic in Sixth Generation Legacy (2015 -2019 )
So you have a 2.5 or 3.6? SAMCO Sport has Silicone Hose kit for a 3.6r I had them make it for me and now they sell 3 Radiator Hoses and the Heater Hoses. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk -
I have been a long time Subie owner myself and wanted to step into the New Generation Legacy after seeing the Eyesite Safety commercials. I was pretty impressed so I pulled the trigger to buy one. I purchased my 3.6r New in 15' and Honesty I can't be more Happier the only problem I encountered was a bad rear wheel bearing typical subaru issue.. And of course I encountered the Transmission TSB and had to have mine replaced and the Second Transmission had a Chain Cover Leak after 47k Miles So I can say I do have concerns with the CVT Transmissions since my other Subaru's were Manual Transmissions.. Price Tag on a New CVT will make my Car a Paper Weight if it Fails again.. [emoji17][emoji17][emoji17] Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

2015 Subaru Legacy Axles Keep Breaking
Grnlantern1 replied to Vito's topic in Sixth Generation Legacy (2015 -2019 )
Do you have your car lowered? This was an issue with another member but only in the front. If your riding normal suspension that's pretty unusual for axles to blow out. I'm on air suspension and have 142k on my 15' and haven't blown a CV Boot yet. My ride height is slightly lower than stock.. Good Luck keep us posted.. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk -
Weak/Bad design windshield?
Grnlantern1 replied to diesel4982's topic in Sixth Generation Legacy (2015 -2019 )
They are thinner than previous years I think 4mm to save weight. I Went through 3 Windshields in 8 Months. Unfortunately every Rock I took was on the edge of the glass which is the weakest point of any windshiled. My Original windshield had a big rock chip in it for more than 2yrs before I took one to the edge. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk -

Oil Change Expensive @ Dealer
Grnlantern1 replied to phuzaxeman's topic in Sixth Generation Legacy (2015 -2019 )
I've had my Dealership change my 3.6r since I purchased new and I only pay 60.00.. So that's not bad considering I used 7qts of Synthetic Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk -

Potential CVT Issue - 2015 3.6R
Grnlantern1 replied to toby.jhnsn's topic in Sixth Generation Legacy (2015 -2019 )
My first tranny went 94k Miles before the replacement then 2nd one leaked at 40k from the seals as stated above I'm hoping this lasts to 200k because Labor is a Killer.. Once my Tranny Permanently Fails I'll have a Crusher Car because I'm not paying 10k for a New Transmission Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk -
I use Chemical Guys products, but Mothers has a Clay Bar Kit you can buy for around 20.00.. I've been doing Car Shows several years and Detail my Own Car, So here is My Process and others might have there own opinions.. 1st - Need to Remove any Waxes or Polishes So to do that the Best way is use Chemical Guys Clean Slate Car Wash or Good ol Dawn Dish Soap it will have the same effect. 2nd - Completely Dry your car let all the Cracks and Crevices Completely drain off. 3rd - Begin to Clay Bar doing 1 panel at a time using the Spray Lubricant supplied with the Clay Kit or you can use a Quick Detailer.. Work in a side to side motion once the panel is complete wipe down with micro fiber towel and move to the next panel but before you start fold in the clay where you just used and make a ball then flatten out to have a fresh surface. Do the complete car you should feel a very smooth surface. I do the clay process twice a year usually in the Spring and Fall.. 4th - Apply a Polish to bring out the color and shine..If you have a Dark car use Chemical Guys Black Light for Light Color Cars use White Light.. Or you can use Mcguires Or Mothers Products of your choice but Make Sure Polish is BEFORE WAX. Do sections at a time as per directions . 5th - ( OPTIONAL) Sealer it Depends on How critical you are. Chemical Guys make a product called Jet Seal but once you apply a coat gotta wait 20 minutes then remove and then another 24 or 48 hours before applying Wax. This sealer products from Bird droppings and other harmful substances. 6th - Get a Good Wax from Chemical Guys or Mcguires or Mothers. I use Pete's 53 or Butter Wax, but Mcguires Xtreme Series is good or even Gold Glass Products.. Wax is the protector from the Weather Elements.. Apply it let haze up and wipe off gently with Micro Fiber towels. Last get a Good Car Soap 2 buckets and wash mits.. 1 bucket and mit for wheels abd the other bucket and mit for the car. Chemical Guys has a nice bucket and a plastic filter that sits in the bottom to filter out dirt.. I usually wax the Car every 2 months in between my Clay Bar Process.. It might sound I promote Chemical Guys but it's your choice what products to use..Also you can use a Orbital Polisher which I can explain in a DM since post is long.. I hope I answered questions about detailing ..[emoji41][emoji41][emoji2962][emoji2962][emoji2962] Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

Oil level low but no leaks
Grnlantern1 replied to fastcar123's topic in Sixth Generation Legacy (2015 -2019 )
Since I can remember My 15' 3.6r would use about 1qt of oil about 1k miles before my scheduled 5k mile oil change. I've always serviced my car at the dealer using synthetic 5/30 for me it's a typical Subaru issue to use a little oil..My 06' WRX Wagon did the same thing so I always check about 1k before my scheduled change.

Dragging - CVT or brakes?
Grnlantern1 replied to d0bdish18's topic in Sixth Generation Legacy (2015 -2019 )
Wow that's a New one.. Before you start driving do you wait a few seconds after releasing the Emergency Brake..? Maybe it is hanging up.. Listen for it to release. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk
