SHOULD work, but double check as to whether or not your car has an interference engine. I think the late 2.2L had some modifications to it. If not, most of this should apply.
Will this work for a 97 legacy, Automatic, 2.2L?
I haven’t had much trouble on flat ground, bu thanks for the tip.
Hey when your refilling your cooling system the most affective way is park it on a hill engine facing uphill and fill it they are pronound for air locks in the heater core causing it to spike the temp gauge until revs are applied activating the water pump to spin faster in turn cooling the sensor for a moment but the sensors on the top of the motor .. so basically it a air temp reading
I’ve never done a 2.5L timing belt. Probably still pretty straightforward, but the dual cam motors leave no margin for error.
Glad to hear it. That’s a really good age to get started. I didn’t really start doing my own repairs until I was in my mid 20s. There’s no substitute for being able to help yourself.
yea i worked on my 93 impreza wagon! the previous owner didn’t service it since 1999, i have literally gained so much more power as the oil was as black as the night sky and the leads snapped as soon as i touched them a little.
I was a 2.5 L
Was it a 2.2 or a 2.5L car?
This brings back memories. I had a 98 GT Legacy wagon 5sp.
Not 100% sure what I put in this video and don’t have 48 minutes to re-watch it. If I covered manual transmission gear oil, you’d instead want to change the automatic transmission fluid (I have a separate video on that). Otherwise, the process would be identical.
This might be a dumb question but what parts of this tune-up would change on an automatic? I have the same vehicle just automatic.
You’re welcome. I assume you’re working on a Subaru, then? If so, they’re easy to work on. A great car to start with. Best of luck.
Really informative, im 17 and doing my first car service myself with spark plugs and leads, engine oil, oil filter, fuel filter and air filter tomorrow. Looks easy enough! Ive done stuff to motorbikes and lawnmowers before so it shouldn’t be too hard. Thanks again for showing the basic principles of what I intend to do!
he said ” I have a legacy 95 with an A/T .In the mornings it takes a while to turn on. I want to know if you can help because you have more experience with these cars. I want to know to tune-up for start up. ” PS : I hate when people write without punctuation marks.
Agreed.
I’m sorry, but Google Translate still isn’t making this quite clear enough. I think you’re looking for timing marks? Check my videos. I do have a timing belt installation video which is quite a bit shorter than this video. Best of luck.
si ese problema tengo que mi vehiculo no me enciende yo se mecanica pero a mi subaru le tengo cogido mal el tiempo yo me guie con las flechas d tiene cada polea y las coloque con la raya que indica todas las 3 poleas las puse asi la del lado izquierdo derecho y la del cigueñal entpnces yo quiero que ud me ayude a tomar bien el tiempo y poder encender mi subaru legacy del 95 TA
I ran your comment through Google Translate, and I’m unsure what your problem is. It sounds like your car is hard to start in the morning?
tengo un problema conmi subaru legacy 95 TA por LAS MAÑANAS me demora en prender quiero que me ayude ud tiene mas experiencia con estos carros cual es el tiempo ponerlo a punto d encendido
How important is it to change the head gasket – I have a 96 legacy – no significant oil drips, but i can tell there is some leakage around the gasket?
Best of luck. Let me know what you find out.
Once that’s done, if you still have symptoms, change the rear differential oil (if you have AWD). I also have a video on how to do that. If symptoms still persist, something else might be binding in the driveline, or you might have an internal transmission problem. It’s also worth taking a look at the condition of the engine and transmission mounts.
Also, take a look at your overall state of tune. If you have no records, a tune-up might be in order. Sorry I can’t be more help.
Well… flush is the wrong word. I don’t recognize the symptoms you describe, but step 1 is to check the gear oil level at the dipstick on the passenger side of the transmission. That should give you some idea. Either way, I wouldn’t just fill it. I drain it and add new gear oil every 30,000 miles. It’s easy enough to do. You fill through the dipstick hole. I think I have a video on this for the manual transmission. Search my videos. (continued in next post)
45:42 Random Bug Fly By LOL
Thanks… I think? Best of luck with your tune-up.
Yo man you sound like the joker from the Dark Knight haha but I have a legacy 95 and I wanna do the same
I have a 1995 Subaru Legacy LSI (auto trans). I went ahead and changed the transmission filter. What is the correct amount of Trans fluid to put back in there? Local auto parts store said only 4 qts, I believe it to be more than that because it was a ton of fluid that came out. Could you help me out? Right now it has 5 qts in it. Don’t have the drivers handbook.
its a 2.2 manual , i will try it out and let u know, cheers!
If your Impreza is 1.8L or 2.2L, it should be close enough. 2.5L, probably different. As for gas mileage, start with the tune-up items and see what happens to mileage.
could i follow this for a 96 Impreza outback ? Any suggestions on improving the gas mileage from 15 mpg// 190k.
I don’t set the rear fill plug to a particular torque – just tight. As for the other items, I THINK I did specify torques in the video. I also have some individual videos on most of these items and do try to specify torques. Unfortunately, I really don’t have time to look these up at the moment for you.
Great video, I have a few questions for you. What is the amount of torque needed to tighten the rear differential fill and drain plug? Also, if you don’t mind, the torque specification for the water pump, idler pulleys, and the thermostat housing? If you know please share, and I do appreciate this tutorial.
A great many similarities. The tune-up process should be nearly identical. The only real difference between a 1993 and 1995 EJ22 Subaru is that the 1995 model will be OBDII.
Do this car have any similarity to a 1993 Subaru legacy?
Best of luck. Whatever it is, I hope it’s not an expensive problem.
