Condensation in head unit
Przemek replied to Przemek's topic in Sixth Generation Legacy (2015 -2019 )
My car has rebuilt title so dealer and Subaru refused to do anything. I was able to source a pristine unit off ebay and sell mine (as broken) so I'm out only $100. I replaced it myself, no reprogramming needed. Not sure if it was smart to replace it with same exact unit as I dont have any confidence it wont happened again. I just need to figure out how to update the firmware because so far it fails every time -
Condensation in head unit

Does anyone know where do I find out which radios are compatible with my car? The model of radio I have now is 86431AL65A. but the cheapest I see online is $1100 which Im not willing to spent on this car anymore. I found 8643AL60A which looks the same. I dont care about anything as long as it has ApplePlay. -

I had few minutes today and i actually looked at it. And its not condensation. Looks like LCD screen is de-laminating. At this point radio is unusable. Glitches too much -
So this just happened to my head unit. I googled it and it seems it happens on Subaru Outbacks too. We just had a heatwave so i think its related but who knows. Somebody on their forum suggested there was a recall for 2018 head units but I cant see anything when i input my VIN number. Any ideas? Car is obviously not on warranty anymore (2018). This on top of my rattle issue makes me start to hate this car as much as I used to love it.

2018 Legacy rattle when going over irregularities
Przemek replied to Przemek's topic in Sixth Generation Legacy (2015 -2019 )
After I came back from the dealership all was good for about two weeks but now it came back. It seems to do it only when I'm breaking though. But the sound is the same. I have to go there again, hopefully it just needs an adjustment -

Gen 6 Battery Replacement Info
Przemek replied to ammcinnis's topic in Sixth Generation Legacy (2015 -2019 )
Mine lasted 5 years, but I would never buy another. There is simply no reason they cost so much compared to what you get from normal battery. But I would highly recommend Costco. Warranty is better than Walmarts -
Well it wasnt as bad as I thought it will be although what took the longest was installing actual remote unit and existing relay bracket on top of it. There is like no room there whatsoever. If it wasnt for all that I think whole install job would take probably around one hour. I also had help from my buddy. Now tomorrow off to dealership Hopefully they can do it without appointment. I really wish I could rent that diagnostic tool EDIT Dealer charged me $66. So altogether everything was $356, parts and reprogram.

I have turn key 2018 legacy and my remote starter part ends with 02 so I believe I have everything correct. Those instructions are a little vague around the part where you connect harness to ignition but i suspect they will make more sense when I am looking at actual thing. I dont suppose there is any walkthrough out there?

To be fair to Fram filters gathered such bad reputation because of loose seals. People would unscrew old filter and not notice seal stayed on and screw new filter on it. You ended up with two and you would get oil leaks or worse. Since than they changed materials so its no longer a problem. Also since filters are now on top of engine it would be fairly easy to see seal if it separated. As to answer OP, I always get Mobil1 oil, 0W20. Subaru filters from ebay, blue ones. if you buy 6-12 its the same price as getting non Subaru ones at Walmart or other stores.

That did it. Thank you

How do I get rid of this message? I think it started showing up last week. Every time I start the engine there it is, telling me software update failed to download. Annoying.

Bosch DirectConnect Wiper Blades
Przemek replied to crisscross's topic in Sixth Generation Legacy (2015 -2019 )
Aren't all windshield wipers pretty much all the same? Since like late 90s? They all come with adapters but I am on my 6th car 3 of which were Subarus and never had to used them. Every time you raise the blade, turn it 45 degrees and pull it off. Sometimes its easy and sometimes its not. And when you put them back on you have to make sure you hear audible click when it snaps on (I lost blade in my Celica because I did not secure it properly, still feel pretty stupid about it) -
Legacy in heavy snow areas..
Przemek replied to FastButReliable's topic in Sixth Generation Legacy (2015 -2019 )
This has been my experience as well. I drove two Imprezas ('12 and '15) and the only time I was stuck is when there was so much snow that car just couldn't push it anymore. I wonder if 2.5L engine might be a bit better. This year I only commute 2 miles in city so I am not getting winter tires. We will see how Legacy will perform on stock tires
