richard_from_montclair Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Hey everyone, I own a 96 Legacy LTS, got it from a friend. It's a great car but I am not so good with the upkeep. I have been taking it to my local mechanic for oil changes and repairs but I think I need to get it to a Suby specialist. First off, my CHECK ENGINE light has been blinking for about two weeks and I really want to get that looked at. The engine has been making a lot more noise than usual. Plus, there's a ton of other stuff like broken heat vents, broken CD player, blown speaker, broken handle for trunk pop, etc - that a Subaru specialist might be able to fix. I will go to a dealer but have been paranoid about "dealer costs" so I thought I'd see if anyone knew of mechanics in the NJ/NY area that are Subaru specialists...Any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks. burnsideproject@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuskiTrombone Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Any mechanic should be able to fix all those things. Broken cd player and blown speakers I would just goto best buy or something to have it all replaced. Or you can do it, it is very easy. Broken vents and handle seem like easy things. Check Engine light, just goto local autozone and ask for the free OBDII read out. Find out what the problem is. My guess is your o2 sensor is dirty since it is a 96 and needs to be replaced. If you don't have money to replace both of the o2 sensors, take them off, torch them for 3 minutes to get all the solid dirt soft, then wipe the dirt off with grease cleaner. Your o2 sensors should be like new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
