The water pump blew on me a week after I purchased the vehicle. That was covered under the used car dealership warranty.
The exhaust hanger came off, so I hear the sound of a dangling pipe every time I drive or idle hard.
After a long period (let's say 3-4 hours) of sitting outside, the car fires up after a few good cranks. I have consulted my mechanic regarding this matter, only to be told that it could either be the cold weather or the car being so old. If anyone has this similar problem, PLEASE help me! I changed the spark plugs and had the fuel pump tested but what else could it be?
Power window regulator blew on my driver's side, but I bought a cheaper part off the internet. Go to Autopartsway.ca for a good selection of parts. Canadian, but American friendly prices.
Despite what I've gone through, this car is a tank! Subaru's are hard to kill as long as you keep them serviced. The AWD kept me out of sticky situations this terrible and snowy winter.
Gas consumption is to be desired, but remember that this is a heavier wagon that uses AWD. If you don't mind using a higher octane gas like 89, do it. It will help our Legacy go further on a tank. Plus it is better for the car in the long run.
Mine is fully loaded, but it's still really outdated. Then again, Legacy's aren't known for kick-ass interiors anyway. Even the new one.
This is a message for ALL 95-99 Subaru legacy owners!
Please read!!! I've seen many of you complained about sluggish acceleration. I know exactly what you mean.
I bought a K&N air-filter and noticed some improvement. It's not much, but it also gave me a bit more mileage out of a tank. Not to mention better highway performance.
Another owner commented about the EV sensor or like it. It could cause the stalling issue.
