be aware if you remove the top plug before the bottom plug oil comes out a lot faster 😁

[Daryl]

Cheers Jay, I'll make sure I.crack the top 1 first before I.start the.bottom incase i cant move it😵 hate to not be able to fill her back up probably dont run too well dry.. nicely suprised how easy it is in the vid just hope they arent seized I only.have crescent wrenches can I give the wrench a knock on that diff?

[Daryl]

Only thing I'm wary of is jacking points 

[Daryl]

You Jack the back of your car using rear diff mate

[ROSSCOSM]

Googled wrx jacking points 

[Daryl]

Lol thats what these forums are for siluro so wise old owls can share their wisdom with us numptys I've not asked that many have I?🤣 I'll be sure to.get some picks up tommora👍. Cheers rossco magic that mate , guessing the axel stands would go on the purple areas

[Daryl]

[ROSSCOSM]

Nice one have been able to stop driving it yet? 😂

[Daryl]

Hahaha I havent mate I've got the worst case of Subarusyndrome the drs ever seen🤣 trying my best not to too much till I get the oil changed which came today just waiting on axel stands now ffs🙄. What you think of the wagons rossy

[Siluro]

I don't know much about Wagons but I never noticed until seeing your picture that they don't have the arch extensions like a WRX/STI saloon. Do Subaru make a wagon with the wider arches.

 

Nice Wagon BTW

[Siluro]

Easiest jacking points are the front one and the rear diff. The problem with the front one it is a long way back and the car is too low for a normal jack (still can be used). I presume a Hawkeye is worse as the nose looks longer. I have to drive the front wheels up onto bricks to get the jack easily under. Once jacked up use the purple or green points for axel stands. Make sure your on the pinch welds in the sills.

[ROSSCOSM]

Love the wagons mate all that extra space with virtually no difference in performance if any. In hind sight I should have bought one but oh well maybe next time lol

[ROSSCOSM]

Make sure to change the sump washer aswell mate 

[Siluro]

Yes new crush washer good point.

Tidy looking motor bud glad you got one that seems to be looked after, regarding the jack i bought myself a low profile one as it fits under the car no bother 👍

 

[Daryl]

I cant say I'd noticed till you mentioned the arches, I'm not sure about that one. That's gonna bug me now Haha. I presume the jacking points on the wagon will be the same as it is the same chassis int it, right got it so you can put the axel stands on the pinch welds. That's really what attracted me more to it with me needing a family car aswell, ideal for if you need to get to Asda really quickly🤓. Hafto have a run through to euro parts for that seal then, oh the oil filter seems really small I'll get a pic up

[Daryl]

Cheers stuartie chuffed to bits mate hope it isnt too good to be true, but only time will tell. Cool I'll hafto have a look at them will I get away with a scissor Jack for the front end?  Gonna get a trolley Jack at some point soon but if I.need.it 100% I'll go tommorow if not.

[Daryl]

[stuartie]

Aye that filter looks about right mate and i wouldn't use a scissor jack, they are crap and i wouldn't  trust it to hold up especially with the weight of the engine etc at the front 👍

[Daryl]

Spot on👍 bummer I'll hafto put hand in pocket then🙄 lol. The fluid you use for the rear diff is the same ya use in the gear box.right?

[ROSSCOSM]

Aye man same stuff for gearbox n diff 

[Daryl]

Sweet I'll be getting that done soon aswell. What else do yous reccomend gets done ?

[Daryl]

Was out in it tonight got pulled for no.reason... at all.
