Squeak, tick, rattle, tick, squeak... -=[long]=-
Ok Guys -- and girls,
I need some opinion on some of the troubles I am having with my SVX. Most of the time, I can find out where the trouble is but with the cold weather and me being busy and just being a lazy bum, I would rather get an easy answer -- from those of you that have done these. 1. In the cold, when I start up the car, and I switch on my left/right turn signals, there is no blinking light until I keep switching it off and on for a while or the car warms up. 2. My engine seems to be leaking engine oil of some sort. where do I start checking? 3. My powersteering fluid also seems to be leaking. Where do I start checking. 4. I have a feeling they are from the wrapped front rotors--- when I am braking, around 50-60 mph, my steering wheel vibrates like crazy. 5. Most likely this is from leaking powersteering fluid... when I turn my car at slow speed, the car squeal like I just run over a raccoon (not really but it squeal anyway). 6. My pass. side window does not go down. I was told by the dealer that there is a plastic part which could be broken. Anyone heard of that before? Lwin

Where do you see the engine oil? On the engine or does the dip stick say you are low?
P/S leaks could be the hoses. They may be old and need replacing. The o-ring reservoir fix quieted down the pump on my car. Leaking hoses or the o-ring can suck air and when it gets in the pump it makes noise. Turn down the brake rotors they do sound warped. |

Re: #6. Yes, there is a little plastic clip that grabs the cable that makes the window go up and down. They are prone to failure. I just recently had to have the driver's window repaired. The clip cost $14 and some odd cents, and the labor ran about $75 or so. If you know how to remove the door panel, you could doubtless do the job yourself. Does the motor still run? I bought an extra clip, and I'll post the part number if you wish.

If the motor wasn't running, you might have to buy a whole assembly. But since the motor still runs, I'll bet it's just the clip. That sounds identical to my experience. Motor ran, window didn't move. That's not to say there couldn't be other problems, but I strongly suspect not. Have you taken the door panel off and looked inside?

Window Clip Part #
Lwin -
Here's the part number for the clip - 62101PA081 It's labelled as a "Sleev Lock Reg". And no, I didn't misspell sleeve. That is what is on the bag. I paid 14.28, plus tax.

1. No idea. 2. Mine leaks a little bit (a VERY little bit) from the front crank seal. It became noticable when I switched to synthetic oil. If that's where it's coming from, and you need a new timing belt anyway, have the shop replace the front seal with the belt and it'll only add $20-$30. 3. Check the rack. That'd be the worst place. There are boots on either side of the rack that look like those on the CV joints. 4. Sounds like warped rotors to me. I would recommend replacing them outright and not turning them. Having them turned just makes them even thinner and even more prone to warping again. If you don't want to eat the price of Subaru rotors, Raybestos makes a cheaper rotor. And I do mean cheaper. I am unhappy with mine. OTOH, subaruparts.com sells stock rotors for almost the same price as the Raybestos parts. 5. There is an o-ring in between the power steering pump and reservoir. When it gets compressed and no longer provides as good seal, it can suck air in, bogging the pump down and making it drag on the pulley. That's what causes your squealing. Is PS fluid leaking from there? Possibly. 6. No idea. Good luck.
