  1. My seal leaks also. Subaru reman axle, passenger side. On my 3rd seal now, probably still leaking. My mechanic has been stumped by this. Axle put in last fall, seal replaced at almost every oil change due to leaking. IIRC, he just places the seal in by hand, then pops in the axle (as he does with all other cars). What is so different with the subie? Is there a special process for install so it doesn't leak? Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
  2. Well, finally got this done (just in time for a warm spell to hit....). Not cold enough now to tell if it has/will make a difference, but shouldn't be too long before it does get cold again. These o-rings are a night and day difference from what was in there though. The old gaskets were shorter and the edges were rounded, and they looked like they sat flush with the manifold when tucked up in place. The new ones were taller, square edges, and stuck out of the manifold a little when seated. -Neil
  3. Do you know if this is only specific to 2007-2009? This sounds exactly like what my 05 LGT has been doing for years. Never stalls or throws a code, but almost stalls out when it is cold outside and the engine has not fully warmed up yet and I am in stop-and-go traffic. Idles fine though. Are the gaskets the same for the 05 to the 07? Or did they change some small thing that makes them different? I have actually had the code for the TGV's twice since I got the car (both 50k miles or more ago) and fixed under warranty. Wonder if they screwed up the gaskets, didn't put new ones in, or what. They just said they "cleaned the intake manifold and TGV valves". Might look into this as the problem seems to be getting worse as the years go by (feels more and more like it really will stall), and it does it with warmer outside temps now (used to be if it was freezing or below, no it will do it if it in the 40's). Thanks, Neil
  4. Ok, I have probably, maybe, the dumbest question. How hard is it to make sure that when you thread the banjo bolt back in that the hole is lined up with the flow in the feed line? If the bolt area is hard to see, plus keeping the washers from falling into the unknown, how have you guys been making sure that when you thread it back in that the hole is lined up correctly? Seems like whenever I have something that I need to thread in AND line up holes, it takes me a few tries to get things lined up perfectly. With the location and difficulties of access for the banjo bolt, I am sure it will be a pain in my ass. Might tackle this when it gets awarmer. At 71k right now and bolt never checked (at least not by me, and I sure the dealer hasn't been doing it...). Thanks, Neil
