Morimoto XB Headlights replacing 14 y/o OEM headlights - did this mainly bc I constantly had to buff my headlights to make them decent and bc it was difficult for others to see my turn signals; bonus is they look ten times better imo and I can actually see at night instead of relying on my fog lights

Mechanical Help It smells like gasoline inside

Post image
50 Upvotes

I got in my car and it smelled strongly of gasoline. We checked the engine which looked okay, we couldn’t SEE a leak.. the fuel cap was just replaced and it was sealing fine.

In fear of igniting the gas, Ive decided not to charge or drive it. I think will try to find a tow company to take it to the dealership until my appointment.

Does anyone have any advice or been in this situation? I have anxiety normally so I may be overthinking this.

Motors Monday Nothing better then DIY

I know it isn’t Monday yet.. But made my own refurbished engine insulation for the crosstrek.

Before purchase of vehicle there must have been an engine start up without the oil cap on or the filter being the proper tightness, etc. (can’t tell exactly what caused this). But while rebuilding the FB20. I was noticing this like thin layer of oil just coating everything in the engine bay. I just kept hunting after this mysterious issue and where it was coming from. Come to find out. The engine insulation was soaked in engine oil and leaking or soaking engine bay in oil.

So I removed the insulation, with the intention of purchasing brand new insulation. I decided too try and to DIY. Resulting in soaking with soap and rinsing insulation a few times a day for the last month. Well from doing that I ruined the integrity of the insulation cover. So once I felt the majority of oil was removed (Mostly). I used thick outside fabric ( don’t mind the blue but don’t like it either) but hey can’t complain, it was free! Purchased new insulation grommet and fabric spray adhesive.! Took my time letting glue cure and popped mounting holes and let er ripp!

Let’s all agree. Super extra right but the pride I feel currently to accomplish something out my mind too is priceless

I’m very happy with how it turned out and how much more sentimental value it has for me now . Feeling very proud of my DIY fb-20 rebuild!

What do you guys think.? Yeh/NEH?!

Mechanical Help Got two of my tires changed on a 2016 crosstrek. When I hopped back in the car multiple lights were on on the dash. This is what diagnostics at auto zone came back with. If it’s dyi-able that’s much preferred. Any thoughts?

Is it safe to drive my car with a cylinder misfire

Post image
9 Upvotes

So my car's check engine light came on the other day and blinked and went out. So I could continue to drive for a few days and then it came back on started blinking again so I took it to AutoZone and they said it was a cylinder 2 misfire. I asked the guy if my car was safe to drive and he said maybe people do it all the time but he doesn't recommend it. The check engine light since then went away but I'm still pretty paranoid. I barely drove it these past few days. My car drives pretty smooth but lately it shakes a little bit then stops. I am supposed to get my car looked at Thursday. But I am afraid to drive my car back and forth to work it might take the day off to fix my car early somewhere else. I asked my dad for advice and he told me that he would drive it to work until Thursday but IDK

Subaru impreza Sistema de combustible piezas

1 Upvotes

Hola buenas, hace tiempo que se me estropearon estas dos piezas de mi subaru impreza 2.0 diesel del 2012,(42086SC030) (42021AG160) y no las encuentro por ningún lado, ni piezas oficiales, ni paralelas, ni segunda mano, ni por webs alternativas, solo la encontré en Australia, pero claro, no realiza envíos a España, y el costo de Todo ese envío, traerla por "mi" cueta a España sería muy elevado, así que necesito ayuda Hay alguna pieza de otros modelos como el forester o legacy que me puedan valer oara mi coche? Necesito bastante ayuda, ya casi irá por el 2 mes en el taller, esperando a por la pieza, que no tiene plazo

Can’t find three button control switch on my 2019 Crosstrek

Post image
200 Upvotes

On my 2019 Subaru Crosstrek, I would like to change the display behind the steering wheel (ie to show the remaining miles until I need to get gas, etc.). However, the manual says that to do so I need to use a control switch with three buttons on it. But as you see in the photo there is no control switch on my steering wheel. What am I missing? I did buy the car used so it’s possible it was a modification? But I suspect it’s something more simple that I just don’t know how to do. Thank you.

2011 Subaru Forester. Long story short I had an accident, it seems like the control arm is properly fucked. The wheel is bent backwards. I’m wondering if there’s anyone knowledgeable who can give me a reasonable estimate for a repair, how much it would cost to rebuild the suspension. Otherwise I might just have to part it out. Thanks for any advice!

Mechanical Help Are these the same parts, or interchangeable?

Replacing my VVT solenoid, I grabbed this off another Subie ( 2011 Subaru Forster )as I thought it was interchangeable and can be used on my 13 Impreza. However the one I grabbed only has the 2 holes, while everywhere I look online it shows this part with 3 holes as seen in the second picture. Is this a completely different part?

For a bit more context I’m getting the P2088 code

I feel like I’m getting dinged $750 or so on the price of this compared to everything I’m seeing for invoice prices online, but this looks to be a legit dealer invoice.. thoughts ?
