I know this might be a silly question but are the bleed nipples at the top of the caliper? I had this problem and I made that mistake in a rush.

Made a start on a list of jobs for my bh5 Legacy. Oil and filter change Auxiliary belts But most importantly... a clean and a wax. Loving the car so far.

I had a Legacy BP5 but sold that last year, ended going for a STI hatch but feel like I should have gone for one of these! Do miss the space

It's not on the road yet, as going for MOT tomorrow then I have to wait for the DVLA to register it. I'm coming directly from a BH5 Legacy twin turbo, but have owned a number of Subaru's over the years (see below)

How are you finding it? And what were you driving before?

Hi all. Can a faulty ECM be removed and replaced with another used unit from a similar model car without any issues?. The assumption is that the replacement ECU is in proper working order. Thanks guys.

Anyone has a test drive, or taken the plunge? What did you think?

It has to be 5x114.3 stud pattern or it won't fit. You'll need to check the centre bore and offset - standard levorg numbers are 56.1 centre bore and 55 offset

Bringing up this old thread, as we have a Levorg as our family runaround. After a messy puncture and goo incident, I decided to store the styrofoam and get a proper spare wheel. What wheel should work for the 225/45/18? I see an ET55 7.5 + spigot above in Trawlerman's note, but is there anything else I need to look for? Are the 5x114.3 dimensions that important? I saw this complete Mazda wheel with a tyre. Do you think it will work as a spare? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/316268545909

Hi all. I have had a diagnosis carried out by the Subaru Main Dealer in Haslemere . This was to investigate the hand brake warning light on. The diagnosis showed no faults with any of the braking system. It did show faults with the glow plugs which had been hidden by deleting the EML completely, by others. I am in the throes of returning the car to the dealers who sold it to me because of the nature of the hidden faults. As a matter of interest, if the glow plugs are isolated and the blown 50 amp fuse is replaced, I think the cruise control , ABS and hill start will operate again. Is that correct? any thoughts would be appreciated.

Someone put a straight through exhaust on my Subaru Impreza 2.0 rx non turbo an it sounds silly it has no back box I was wondering if anyone knows a cheap way to fix this I need a back box but I’m not sure what will fit my car is there any other car exhaust that will fit mine e.g Honda

She has finally arrived from Singapore now 😎 2.0 GT-S with 48,500kms on the clock

Sorry - panic over Subaru themselves have found it so i can now get the parts I need :-)

Hi, I have been using this forum for a while it is is a fantastic resource and I wondered if anyone can help me. I have a U.K. spec 2010 Outback Diesel BR 150bhp. The DPF was full of ash so I asked my local mechanic in Stoke on Trent to take it off and get it cleaned. that part of the process all went ok but the sensors in the DPF need replacing. Subaru parts don’t have a record that my car has a DPF and so can’t identify any sensors. I can’t find any on 3rd party parts sites either. anyone out there had this problem, or knows what part numbers I need for my DPF? The Subaru dealer is now talking to Subaru but this is an email conversation so might take ages. Thanks Neil

Anyone know what Subaru runs the 4Pot Brembo pads P56 025.?

New rear subframe with all new arms, bolts and hubs almost ready to transplant into the car, that will hack the mot tester of as he won’t be able to rust rear subframe comments anymore!

Hi folks, any recommendations for a trusted builder to overhaul and set my rear diff? cheeers

Got some nice STI SH9 Upgrades from Japan and full hard race roll correct with set of almost new wrx garb alloy front lower arms to enhance the from end, so some fitting of bits to now fit in when we’ll enogh

Hi I am having a real issue bleeding the brakes on my 1999 Subaru Impreza it’s a uk turbo 2000 I have refurbed all the callipers, fit new rear brake lines, braided hoses all round and new master cylinder but I can’t get the air out of the front lines the rears seem fine no air bubbles but the front keeps pumping air out and the peddle with some resistance goes to the floor, my thinking is it’s pulling air in somewhere and that’s why I changes the master cylinder but still have the same issue. Anyone els had this problem, is there somewhere els it’s likely to be pulling air in.

Windnoise, DOD and SHang. Did you get to the bottom of the wind noise issue? I have a RHD 2018 Outback and as soon as I hit 60km/h I rear rushing wind noise coming from low down on the driver side A-pillar area, or maybe the bulkhead. The passenger side is fine. I have not owned the car from new so I do not know if the last owner did any work on the car.

Amazing news!

Yes bleed the whole system and i agree at the very least the rear brakes will need servicing properly including exercising the pistons in their bores to ensure free movement before attempting to rebleed. You don't confirm that new discs accompany the new pads, unless the old discs have as new perfect surfaces there will be slightly less contact area with new pads until they've worn in to any existing wear pattern on the old discs, this 'bedding in' time can often feel like spongy brakes. As for bleeding haven't been able to use my ancient Easibleed on any my Japanese cars for the same reason as you, but recruiting my fine lady wife for pedal pumping purposes bleeding the old way has worked well enough on all of our cars over the years.
