newbie
hi all newbie here from swansea
just bought my first subaru classic turbo and the check engine light has just come on any one local know how to read the codes ? i know about connecting black wires and counting flashes just dont like playing with electrics on cars . cheers steve |
Welcome along :thumb:
Get some pics of the car up :) always nice to see a new car on the forum. Don't be scared of plugging in the diagnostics for classic code reading,that's all that a garage would do to read the fault codes,and it will cost you. |
cheers mate
will have a go now , dont mind spanners and engines ,just not to sure with electrics |

going to reset ecu and see what happens If it looks ok try cleaning both mating surfaces. Personally for the sake of £60 I would fit a new one. Remember to buy genuine when it comes to sensors,and use the correct torque settings. |
best place to order one from
|
I always find import car parts very good for genuine parts.
Alyn at AS Performance may also stock them? You would have to ring him as his website is useless lol. But he is old school and always good to have a chat with :thumb: |
thanks for the help
being a uk turbo 1998 would it be a EJ20? just looked on website sorry for all the questions steve |
Yes EJ20 :thumb:
No worries,questions are what the forum is for mate. |

The easiest way to get at the plugs is to remove the battery and the air box, not a difficult job. It will free up a load of space and will make life easier. Get a good deep plug socket that as the rubber retaining insert inside, don't over tighten or cross thread - nightmare! Make sure you refit the leads properly, do the plugs one at a time - if not mark them with a pen of label first :norty: Don't go nuts over the plugs either, you won't need the higher temperature plugs until you get to higher levels of tune. :thumb: |
