These cars are absolute beasts. I have a 96 legacy outback wagon and when I got it, it had a lot of missing or mismatched parts under the hood.
It had no AC at all, but I did find a complete AC system in a junkyard one time. Just bought a new set of o-rings from O’Reilly auto parts and it’s ran solid for two hot & humid summers in a row now.
The radiator came out of an Impreza, so I found one out of a junkyard and it’s ran perfectly ever since. She’s due for some new hoses soon.
Had a problem with fluid not making it onto the glass, so I replaced the little motors that the wiper fluid hoses attach to on the reservoir from out of a junkyard and they stream just fine.
Mushy brake pedal? Could have air in the brake lines.
Exhaust work on this thing is exhausting, but fairly easy to diagnose.
