1992 Subaru Legacy - Page 3 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Heater core..easy to replace..find the complete tear down and rebuild book for your car at any part store and follow the directions on how to change it.

Radiator... if its the rad then you pretty much are looking at about 800.00 to 1100.00 for this .
If its the radiator... you will notice your car will start to over heat.
It could be even more serious..like the block might be cracked.
If you see like a steam that looks like smoke coming from the tail pipe then its the block.
Again can be fixed for about 12 to 13 hundred bucks.
Hears hoping im wrong on all accounts.
cheers

is it a automatic .

this is for a 98 but it may be the samehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZ66ltV156M

if it hae a coil pack have it checked if i get hot it will do that

I have same problem, There is sensore on dashboard try to clean it if it didnt work submitt a strong light on it, if it got off then the sensor is old, if still on the prblem could be the sensor is dead or the is aprblem in its circuit

replace/charge battery

yep transmission big bucks, but have it checked out.

if it's a twin overhead cam plugs can be found under a cover in centre of rocker cover

the brake light switch controls the solenoid for the release of the lever its called a shift inter lock solenoid

the low side is the fatter lines the test ports are different sizes so the kit to recharge will not fit on the wrong port

cold climate 5W-30W, hot-moderate climate or long commutes at high speeds 10W-30W, these engines are designed for light oils,(very tight clearances) heavy oil's can starve the main and rod bearings of start up lubrication..

Have you checked your MAF/MAP sensor, or your fuel pressure or fuel pressure regulator. Are your throwing any codes at all? I would also look at your Cam & Crank sensors. Good Luck!

According to this chart I found it would be okay.http://www.cars101.com/subaru/tiresandwheels.html

Hi doesnt sound like anything major as long as it doesnt smoke bad or knock from the engine, it sounds like a decent service would help, try replacing the air filter, fuel filter, give it a decent oil change ( i use castrol magnetec in my part of the world), give the idle air control valve a good clean with mass airflow cleaner or similar. If thats dirty it may fix your problem when cleaned. The hot idle should be approx 500rpm and cold should be approx 1000rpm hope this helps

if the sending unit has been replaced and it works for a while then acts up again check the electrical plug and connections also look for a broken wire or nicks in the wires coating as corrosion inside the wire will cause a problem that circuit works by resistance not voltage

I hope this info helps!~subyguru~

hi Ben, you haven't given many details. Make sure you have fuel delivery and at the correct pressure. you'll need to have the fuel pressure tested by a worksop as special equipment is needed. At the same time have a scan carried out to find out if there are any fault codes registered. Regards JohnJohn

ARE U SURE THE GAUGE IS ACURATE? THERE IS A TEMP SENDING UNIT USUALLY ON THE SIDE OF MOTOR BLOCK WHICH SENDS SIGNAL TO GAUGE. I WOULD CHANGE THAT FIRST BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE. PART IS NO MORE THAN 20$.

The thermostat valve goes toward the radiator hose.
