Gen 6 Battery Replacement Info
Max Capacity replied to ammcinnis's topic in Sixth Generation Legacy (2015 -2019 )
Here's what I put in my 18' Outback 3.6R. You can also measure the space you have for a battery, then go to the store display of batteries, find the highest CCA battery that will fit in your space with posts in the correct spot. Buy that one. I'm sure I've posted this link before, but here it is again. https://www.subaruoutback.org/threads/gen5-replacing-the-original-battery-with-better.391217/page-112#post-6430377 -
2019 Legacy Dead Battery Wont Start Now
Max Capacity replied to beeson76's topic in Sixth Generation Legacy (2015 -2019 )
Most auto parts stores will have connectors you can splice in. NAPA is my choice. If mice are a problem. go get some Tom Cat mode blocks, from any hardware store, I have them all around my property, sheds, basement, garage. inside my 86' F150 which sits outside. https://www.google.com/search?q=tom+cat+poison&rlz=1C1OKWM_enUS906US906&oq=Tom+Cat&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqCggBEAAYsQMYgAQyCggAEAAYsQMYgAQyCggBEAAYsQMYgAQyBwgCEAAYgAQyBwgDEC4YgAQyBwgEEAAYgAQyBwgFEAAYgAQyCQgGEAAYChiABDIHCAcQABiABDIHCAgQABiABDIHCAkQABiABNIBCTY1ODhqMGoxNagCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 -
turn key, no start, no click, nothing

Glad that was a easy fix. -
Why do you all keep your old Legacy around?
Max Capacity replied to Pleides's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Thanks for noticing, I have been in contact with them, giving them info on the car. I even got an email from someone that works at the Subaru factory where the car was built, back on June 6 2008. -
KZ, hears the cap on my 09 Spec B. Now on my 05 GT I had aftermarket caps, they came from NAPA, worked great. Seems there are only a few different caps pressures and they all fit most radiators. I also tended to replace the caps when the rubber seals got cracked, I never waited until I had issues. Cheap insurance. Now we know 2.5i have HG issues... I'm also thinking "Flaris" should start his own thread, so it's easier to find and help him.

Odd, I had no problem when putting the Fumoto valve on my GT wagon years ago. The car normally has the under engine cover installed. Seems the only installed picture in the car is from when the oil pan was leaking. FWIW, you can see a small hole about 2" up on the front corner of the pan. I also use gallon milk jugs with screw on tops as the catch container. I take the used oil to my local junkyard, where for free they take it, as they use it in their heating system.

Engine noise near intercooler
Max Capacity replied to apacman316's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Or, does the noise stop when you push in the clutch pedal ? -
I seem to recall the seal between the turbo and timc is the same as the T'stat gasket for a small block chevy. You can get one from any auto parts store. https://www.google.com/search?q=small+block+chevy+T+stat+gasket&rlz=1C1OKWM_enUS906US906&oq=small+block+chevy+T+stat+gasket&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRigATIHCAIQIRigATIHCAMQIRigAdIBCjEyMjkyajBqMTWoAgCwAgA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Reading that brought back a old memory, Back in the late Fall of 2005, I still had my summer only's on. We had a small early snow storm. I slowly rolled my car down the driveway on the street. Put it in 1st gear, began to let the clutch out slowly, The GT wagon move sideways down the crown on the road. I limped it to the neighbors, about 80ft, turned around and limped back, home, but couldn't make it all the way up the slight incline of my driveway. Luckily, I had a Chevy Suburban... I took that instead. -
These cars are finicky if you don't use the right brand of parts. OEM or NGK coils, NGK spark plugs. gapped at .028" Is your tranny a 5mt or 5eat ? You'll want to verify it's not a Gates timing belt kit, they are junk. Aisin, is the only one you want. You'll want to verify the small black o-rings seal between the plastic intake manifold and TVG's have been changed to the newer (2007) larger orange o-rings. zoom in to the second photo, above #2 injector, see the orange tab. Use MAF cleaner to spray up inside the MAF sensor on the air intake tube just after the air filter. Make sure both engine ground wires are in good shape, they area a known issue. You can make your own. third photo.
