Think I'll wait till I have the front of the engine buttoned up before I take the driver seat out, so much fun I could just s***.

Re: Front Wiper Control Unit
Good advice and I'm taking it. I'm waiting for oil seals & an O ring to finish the front of the engine. The O ring is so flat, it has RTV on it, is that normal? The oil pump O ring is so flat on both sides, is it age or is this normal? The O ring is not an O, it looks like a round thing with 2 flat sides, is this normal after 17 years/117xxx miles?

Will do, leaks? I don't want no f*ing leaks, I'll follow the advice of the gurus and follow the manual instructions. I'll probably do more than the manual instructions

Pick up some Perma-tex ultra-black and use it to form a thing bead around the mating surface of the oil pump. Make sure you make a bead around the o-ring but not enough to allow it to push into the 0-ring grove. Also, coat the threads on the three oil pump bolts on the right side (passenger side) of the engine. I will try and scan the page out of the manual for you when i get to the shop next. Tom |

Re: Front Wiper Control Unit
Tom, thank you, such good info. I have cleaned both flanges, waiting for O ring.
When I pulled the oil pump bolts each of them had gray RTV on the thread end, the bolt holes in the pump were surrounded with gray RTV. It looks like "clean both flange surfaces and apply the right amount of RTV". OK, don't over do it!

Re: Front Wiper Control Unit
If I use only the metal gasket, do I put RTV on both sides of It? I did both gaskets 7 years ago, no leaks, with blue RTV, inquiring minds want to know.

Re: Front Wiper Control Unit
In every other Subaru, the control unit is on the stalk itself.

Re: Front Wiper Control Unit
Here are a couple of pictures of the front wiper control unit it is a 17 pin module that is secretly hidden under the left side dash. Part #88571PA000.
The round thing to the left is a penny & the vise grip with the bent nail is my new oil seal puller Some day I will learn to use the digital camera Dave
