  1. Hi everyone. My 2017 Legacy 3.6R was totaled and before the insurance company carted it off, I took my JDM honeycomb style front grill off and put the factory grill back on. Does anyone know if it will fit a 2019 Legacy? The front and rear bumpers were redesigned in 2018. The factory grill is different from 2017 and older Legacys as well.
  2. Hi everyone. Just an update to this post. Although I was able to get all the plugs out and replaced the filter, oil and oil filter, the car never ran right afterwards. The car was totaled by the insurance. I got a decent payout and there seems to be a 2019 Legacy 3.6R available at a local dealership as a CPO. Will be checking it out.
  3. Hi everyone. I made a terrible mistake a drove thru a deeper puddle than anticipated last night. The car stalled. I was able to push it to the side of the road and out of the puddle and get the car towed home. But now it seems I'm dealing with a hydrolock issue. I've pulled all the spark plugs but one. The drivers side, all the way in the back. I can't seem to get my socket wrench on it. I ordered some extensions and u-joints and waiting for the pickup email now. When I pulled the spark plug on the passenger side, all the way to the front of the car a significant amount of water came out. Once I get the last spark plug out, how do I go about cranking a push to start to get the water out? Any additional advice would be greatly appreciated.
  4. Correct. My 2017 3.6R Legacy Limited does not have Eyesight.
  5. I was able to reuse it. The bolt was in good shape. If you do replace, make sure you use a Grade 8 bolt.
  6. I did the same on the highest bolt on the passenger side. Even with an socket extension, the ratchet drives the bolt at a slight angle because of a crossmember preventing the tool from being held straight and makes it easy to go in cross threaded. I couldn't draw the bolt in all the way and being afraid the snap the head off, I left it like that. This attempt at installing it was done without lifting the car whatsoever but I was able to shimmy under the car to do it. FWIW, I had no problem doing the same mod on my 2011 Outback 5 years ago but it definitely has more clearance to get under there. For my second attempt to install/correct the issue, I took the car to my parents place where I have my floor jack and stands and most of the quality tools including my tap & die set. I raised the car and ran an M8 1.25 thread tap thru the hole. It started smooth, hit a little resistance and then went in smooth the rest of the way. Once that was done, the bolt went into the correct thread and tighten up without a problem.
