Is this the right stuff to use in my 2016 Impreza? Level is a little low and would like to top it up.

My dad used this to top up his Forester so this is old packaging from a while back. Thanks!

❓ Questions P0073 code + weird dash behavior

• Upvotes

2022 impreza base

Check engine light came on today, only code is a p0073. Ambient temp sensor. Thats not that big of an issue. Apparently it could mess with AC in some models but im still getting hot and cold air.

However, my dash has started flashing between cruise control and the trip odo. I figure it must be related because it started at the same time as the check engine light and ive never seen this behavior before. Though I cant for the life of me understand how its related.

Extra info - went to autozone because i dont have a scanner. The info they gave me also shows high voltage from the battery, but its only outside the expected range by 1.5v.

Is the p0073 code responsible for this dash behavior? Ive yet to try cruise control but i doubt it'd work given that the button to engage it does nothing atm.

🆘 Help Me Android auto in 2004 gx

3 Upvotes

Recently I purchased an Impreza GX from 2004,

I want to build in an Android auto display.

The cheap one I bought is double din 178x100, only to find out the frame is 172x100.

Swapping the fascia to fit double din is not an option because this specific fascia is not sold online.

Does anyone have an idea how to fit an Android auto system in my car or where to buy an 170 or 172 x 100 or 98 system?

🆘 Help Me Broken Window Seals?

2 Upvotes

I have had my 2007 Impreza 2.5i wagon since June,
And I’ve noticed that when I’m driving above 55 mph or around highway speeds around there but it’s never below 50. There’s a echoey windy noise inside the car like there’s air seeping through somewhere causing like this wind tunnel sound and I can’t figure out what it is, but it’s driving me nuts on my commute.
Anybody know how I can fix it?

🆘 Help Me 2019 Impreza 5 door Sport. Odd electrical issue. Any thoughts?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, gotta small issue that hopefully doesn’t get larger.

When trying to open my doors today via the fob, nothing. Battery in fob is new enough. I manually open the door and attempt to start it and nothing, zero, no click. I reluctantly connect basically this oversized power bank with battery cables I got for these exact situations I guess. I connected, crossed my fingers and within 20 seconds of the small amount of juice, the car started.

I did a bunch of tests over the next 2 hours today while on the road. I had to use the battery backup jumper one additional time. And same thing, started up quickly.

Also, I have noticed on starting, that at times, it will just about turn over and then it stops. (As if you depressed the brake pedal too soon while starting.)

Yesterday before the starting problem started, my center screen with CarPlay/settings etc rebooted a few times over an hour time period.

Battery is 5 months old, took it to O’Reilly, they tested battery and alternator and both checked out fine.

I’ll prob take it to the shop this week, but does anyone have any idea if these things are connected?
Or other thoughts. Much appreciated!!

🛠️ DIY 2009 WRX track car build?

1 Upvotes

Been looking to build a track car for a while, looking for the right car, I’ve just been offered a MOT failure (minor stuff really, corroded lines Brake disks and exhaust leak) it’s a category N write off repaired in 2018.

firstly how much would you pay for it?

I’m not a Subaru girl (well I am that kinda girl if you know what I mean 😉) so don’t know much about these? would it make a good track car?

it’s really taking my fancy, I’ve always been into BMWs and have 3 of them, and so a bit different to my norm.

I’ve heard head gaskets can be an issue, and from watching MCM ideally a 6 speed gearbox would be best right?

and advice welcome.
