1999 Subaru Legacy - Page 7 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

This diagram is for a 90-98 Subaru but maybe it will help...

an average repair on a factory sun roof runs aropund $400-$500

the only way to know is to have a shop check the code that is causing the check engin light to come on

yes the problem is that the pressure plates is getting weak and doesnt keep enuf pressure on the clutch. ive replaced clutch sets on many diff vehicles and when they act like u decribe its usually the pressure plate. replace entire clutch kit and if u decent mechanically u should be able to do it. in a clutch kit they give u a diagram and directions. keep a very good note on what parts u took off where to ensure u put them back in the right place

get another autoelectrician

The voltage regulator which is usually built in to the alternator.

O2 sensor. 99% of the time it's these. First, however, go to a parts dealer and ask to have the codes reset. Drive it for about 2-3 days. If it comes back on, give it another day, and if still on, have codes reset and replace O2 Sensor(s).

Let me know if I can be of any more assistance.

you have to go to your local garage and have the car computer scanned

this will tell you which wheel sensor is not working properly, or abs module

The timing marks are align in the correct position before taking the old belt off. Now you will need to turn each cam & the crank to the correct position with the belt off then install the belt

the speedometer/odometer problem sounds like the vehicle speed sensor, which is ususally found on your front wheels, the stalling out sounds like an unrelated problem, but i couldnt tell you where to start for that one

Depends where it is leaking from - could be many things (like head gasket). If it is just a little weeping, try adding a bottle of antifreeze conditioner available from your Subaru dealer - it's about $2 a bottle - supposed to help with that.

I have a 99 Subaru Legacy Outback wagon also. I just changed my fluid & filters. There is a spin-on AND a bolt-in that's inside (you have to drop the pan).

Have the vehicle scanned for codes and do the repairs the codes indicate. There may have been another border line code the first time or tech may have forgotten to erase the code .

You will have to remove the timing belt to gain access, refer to a repair manual for the detailed procedures

VDC is Suburus electronic stability system. You will feel a power loss because the system reacts to driving conditions and if it detects wheel spin it will cut power to your engine. If it is malfunctioning it will cut power at the wrong times. Since your check engine light is coming on too it appears to be malfunctioning. You need to have the trouble codes read by a tech or buy yourself an OBDII scanner for yur car and read them. It should tell you what the problem is so you can fix it.

check plugs, wires, etc. check all ignition system

if you are turning the wheel all the way until it stops then you are putting the steering pump in a bind cuasing the engine to slow down more causing the engine to stall ,,, recommend you turn the steering wheel all the way you are going until the wheel stops and then back the other way a little bit to stop this binding,, shoulsd stop your problem

before you pull stuff, go to the back of the car. Instead of pulling the latch (away from the car and towards you) to open the hatch, push the lever in the other direction (towards the car, away from you).

i had this happen to me and read about it online, worked totally fine. It's just stuck towards you and not "sitting" correctly. Hope it works!

Had the same problem... hosed the latch down with WD40 and problem solved. I think salt and road grit build up on the latch. Same thing with the rear hatch release.

Had a look through my old TSB's and found this reference to your problem I have posted the bulletin on one of my websites. You can download it from here [ http://arraw.info/pdf/vibration.pdf ] I hope this link works and I hope this explains the procedure required to fix your problem
