Legacy777 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I picked up a 2006 Legacy Wagon 2.5i Sp Ed with just shy of 100k miles on it. I'm planning to do the timing belt, front oil seals, coolant, air filter, spark plugs, & wires, water pump, thermostat, accessory belts, & front O2 sensor. I guess what I have questions about is the coolant. I know the manual says to use OEM coolant with the conditioner. I know the older 2.5's it was highly recommended to use the conditioner, but didn't know if the newer ones needed to have OEM coolant or if Pestone or similar is ok. Also, has anyone replaced the in-tank fuel filter? Anything else I'm missing? I'm going to try and order parts this afternoon so if you have additions, let me know. Thanks!

katalyst Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 this thread shows how to replace the fuel pump assembly, which would allow you access to the fuel pump filter if that's what you're looking to replace: http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3031078&postcount=120 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Thanks for the link for the filter replacement. So out of curiousity for those that have replaced the filter, did they all look as nasty looking as what Paul replaced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katalyst Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 is it possible to just get that fuel filter as a part to be replaced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 The parts book calls it out separately, but based upon the pictures I don't think it's correct. The highlighted part in the diagram, 42072A is what they're calling Filter-Fuel Pump. http://main.experiencetherave.com/subaru_manual_scans/FSM_Scans/2006_legacy_fuel_filter_diag.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indytruckboy Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I removed the intank on my STI and replaced it with a hose. I installed a 02 WRX filter under the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
