October 29, 201510 yr Author Why Kill the car? I always used an aftermarket fuel filters, I can't justify paying a fortune for an original fuel filter, I'd rather change an aftermarket one every year! What kind of OIL do you recommend of the gearbox and for the differentials????
October 29, 201510 yr Maybe in other areas the parts aren't as good but all stuff sold here has to be CE marked and 90% of the time tuv passed so they are fit for purpose,
October 29, 201510 yr Used Blueprint filter on mine no problems, was bought from Luke at IMPORT CAR PARTS I know they're not doing Blueprint anymore and moving on to selling their own brand's business must be good :D
October 29, 201510 yr Author You can find many european brands as well like Bosch, I'm not saying that it's better than OEM but 10 times cheaper and I'd rather change it more often, then keeping the original one for 10 years -) What's important in my opinion is a good oil, especially or the gearbox and differentials hence the question above -)
October 29, 201510 yr 75/90 for the rear diff and as for auto box not sure, opie oils will advise you and they sell a whole range of quality brands
October 29, 201510 yr I agree and especially with the oil I've always said that is key regular changes doesn't hurt either :D
October 29, 201510 yr Author I've read that it's important to choose the correct oil if there is an LSD gearbox and diffs, and I do have an LSD, also not sure if all the axles or just front of rear... 75/90 - synthetic or mineral and what brands???
October 29, 201510 yr I personally use fully synthetic but if you pop on here They will help you out mate. :D Think we might get discount or tim sometimes post on here discount codes :D http://www.opieoils.co.uk/
November 1, 201510 yr Are the secondary lamps inside the fogs driving lamps ? I'm looking to do something similar would be interested to see the wiring
November 1, 201510 yr Author Well the secondary fog lights are more for the look as they really don't do that much. The wiring is linked to the standard fog lights there is the same button to turn them on and the separate button FOG SELECT where I can choose which fogs to switch on, but they don't work all at the same time...
November 1, 201510 yr Author Not really, may be they would be useful combined WITH the standard fog lights at the same time, but on their own they're not very good. Also bear in mind that I haven't used them much... I would rather link them with the full beam, that would help for sure then -) Put it this way, I wouldn't drive just with these lights, without the headlights at all, even at slow speeds.
November 1, 201510 yr Do you think they are supposed to be more of a daylight running light ? I've been looking at some hella ones but there are so many different options
November 1, 201510 yr Author No idea to be honest, but at night I never use them, as the standard fog lights are way better -) I think it's rather a good looking feature, not very practical one... Oh and do you know how to read the check engine codes?
November 1, 201510 yr In here mate, http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/index.php?/topic/2366-Manually-Reading-ECU-Codes Fairly straight forward, you can also get some pc software from www.evoscan.com if you really want to get into geeking it up [emoji23]
November 1, 201510 yr Author Oh thank you very much. Also the first picture doesn't work -((( so not sure what connectors I should use -) Is there a similar guide for the auto gearbox codes as well?
November 5, 201510 yr Author Anyone to the questions above? Do you know the part number for the pollen filter anyone? My car hasn't got one, but I want to put a new one -)
November 5, 201510 yr Sorry mate been a bit busy, Hopefully this works, but hard to see you need to stick your head in the foot well and look up, or take the panel off in front on the steering wheel As fro pollen filter there's a few different shapes and sizes have a look at the black box under the glove box to see how big it is and take a rough measure of length and depth http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/index.php?/topic/15597-Sf-cabin-filter-install
November 6, 201510 yr Author Great answers here! So if I plug in the black ones into the green ones it will activate a test mode? That's pretty interesting, I wonder what would be the procedure for the gearbox... Another question is - when you do diagnostics on the computer which car shall the mechanic choose, as there is no such models -) would it work with the Impreza? and if yes what model as there are a few of them!
November 6, 201510 yr Author Any idea if these wheels will fit my forester - this is also for Subaru, but Impreza...
November 12, 201510 yr Sorry mate for some reason never got the notifications, The wheels may fit although you'd have to check the clearence on the discs, As for the plugs you need to connect green to green and black to black, for diagnostic it's just one set can't remember but think it's black the check engine light will 'blink' out the codes if any, No idea about the gearbox though, Unless the garage your visiting has a subaru select monitor they won't be able to read any of the ecu
November 15, 201510 yr Author OK .I've done the diagnosis - the error codes 23 and 32... 23 is MAF, what is 32??? Lambda?
