I’d offer 1k just don’t scrap it!

Can you pm me some pictures ?

Hi Jim and welcome. The outback is definitely a good option for Norway. Is it a petrol or a diesel? I would say there would be some potential issues if it’s a diesel with the dpf filter, but others will be able to give more detailed advice.

Welcome to the forum mate. Nice blobeye

Hi mate sorry to hear you are having problems. It’s good advice to do a sniff test. I have had a similar experience with a Mazda 6 where the gearbox has gone 2 months after buying it second hand… and it doesn’t drive as well as my Impreza 🙈

You can ask Opie oils for advice as they can give you the best option for your car and how you drive it/ any mods.

Nice car mate, are you following torque GT’s YouTube videos one the P1? It might give you some good ideas. oh and welcome to the forum 😊

No worries mate, I had a similar issue with mine and it took a lot of cleaning to get it working.

Triton will definitely be able to sort it out, they have some great experience.

Hi Chris Sorry to hear you are having a bit of trouble. On my legacy I tried the throttle position sensor just to rule it out, but it sounds like your IACV isn’t closing. Was it brand new or second hand? It might benefit from a good clean with brake cleaner and some pipe cleaners if it’s a used part. I hope that’s of help.

The plugs are awkward compared to other engines but they are possible to change relatively straightforward. There are some handy videos on YouTube about it. If it’s running well at the moment I would wait until you get the remap and ask the tuner their advice, then it saves you some money and time. Have you had it long?

Good question mate. Most will normally go for the black ‘JDM’ Subaru filter which you can find in various places except Opie oils. Import car parts stock the filters at a fair price and they also will stock the higher quality spark plugs too which are the NGK Platinum plugs. If you are running stock power you should just need the standard heat range. Failing that, I would suggest a Mahle oil filter from Opie oils with ngk spark plugs depending on your budget. hope that helps.

Hi mate it’s a good plan to have. Opie oils is a good place to get all the fluids you need plus good advice on oil grade. I used to put 5w40 in my 2001 stock wrx. It takes a little over 4L. Diff oil is 1L and gearbox oil is 3.5 L if my memory serves me right. 75w90 for both. I use the red coolant purely because it lasts longer. I can’t remember the capacity but I just got a 5L concentrate and added deionised water. I think it takes about 5L. Dot 4.1 brake fluid is what you can normally use but I know some upgrade to dot 5.1 however it will need replacing sooner as it’s more hydroscopic. I hope that helps.

Hi I’m looking for a rear light wiring loom for an Sti rear light on a classic Impreza. Thanks

Great job mate, thanks for the pictures too. You’ve done a good job. Thats a shame about the brake fluid leak. Is it coming from the brake hose?
