Hey Unabomber. I've read that the Imprezas power steering is a self-pressurizing, self bleeding system. I have an 07 STi, that has some shutter when I turn the wheel. I recently have disconnected the power steering line near the turbo inlet to replace the inlet. Everything is reconnected and the resevoir is filled to near the cold max line. But after 2 weeks of driving and trying to prime the line with turning the wheel lock to lock a couple of times. I just cant seem to get the power steering to loose the shutter.
I wasnt sure if a power steering flush as a maintenance issue might clear up my steering shutters. What do you suggest? |

I've been searching all day and have found differing information for my question.
When, if at all, do you need to replace the fuel filter in an 05MY WRX? I've seen posts that said they are 'lifetime' filters and only should be replaced upon failure, but I've also seen posts saying around 60k miles. I'm almost to the 60k mile mark and would like to know if I need to tackle this. This would be the year they moved the filter to the actual gas tank housing. Thanks in advance. |

Another question.
on the same 05my wrx, are there any grease joints/nipples that need greased? I won't get a chance to get under the car again until this weekend, so I thought I'd post to see if someone could answer my question before I waste lots of time trying to find something that may not exist. Thanks. |

^^Read your manual; pretty sure its still 7500 for light duty or 3750 for severe.

3750 is the mileage, if your average temp doesnt vary by more than 30 degrees 7500 will do. But I would never go that far

The pumping action of the master cylinder and caliper pistons along with the heat cycling of the brakes will always let a little bit of moisture in. The system will work fine until you heat the brakes up, say by driving down a mountain, then the fluid will boil at a lower temperature because of the water its absorbed. Most mechanics are equally clueless about changing brake fluid, my local Subaru dealer is among them. They think the only reason to bleed the brakes is to get air out of the system. Subaru recommends changing the fluid for a reason. For good tech see: http://www.stoptech.com/tech_info/te...e_papers.shtml Especially: http://www.stoptech.com/tech_info/wp...fluid_1a.shtml |

Need 3 replies to post
Need 3 posts to add a thread, but I'll ask here anyways. I have a 2002 wrx. Got a CEL a few weeks ago. Figured it would go off after a few starts but it didn't I went to Autozone but their code puller said no link. Is there a fuse I should check to make sure the OBDII port is functioning? I check the fuse box in the car and under the hood but there is not one labeled as OBD

Can the o2 sensor be cleaned with the CRC stuff and does it help? Or if the o2 is not functioning properly, the only solution is a replacement?

Should I buy the Maintenance Package at the dealership? The finance guy there is talking me into it...supposed to be cheaper in the long run when I bring my car in for maintenance and oil changes. The package cost $1200 and covers the 15K, 30K, and 45K maintenance + 6 free services/oil change. What are your thoughts?

Question about 98-01 2.5 RS.
Sorry if it's been asked/posted but I couldn't find the specific answers I'm looking for. Just bought the car and wanted to replace transmission and rear differential fluid. Wanted to know how much fluid I needed to purchase for the transmission and the rear differential. And does the transmission and front differential share the same fluid? Also, I've read that starting with MY2000 (which is what I have), the differential was an LSD. Is there a way I can visually confirm that from the outside of the case? And whether it is or isn't, Subaru genuine fluid should suffice? Quanitity? Again, sorry if it's been asked. Thanks in advance. |
