Oh really? Is that detonation or something? Will it negatively impact the engine?

It's still my subaru 2001 impreza. I relocated my knock sensor here: No check engine light, though feels like I can hear a bump from the back when breaking, don't know if that's just me lol. Car drives same as before all is fine.

Sorry for the late response, all. I did hear of the helicoil I think I better pay someone to do it lol otherwise i might mess that up to lol.

But what is the answer to my original question? I need to rethread the hole and if I can't do it I need to replace the engine lol because it won't be able to do into its original position.

No idea how this happened possibly cause the bolt was too tough to remove? I wqs able to put the bolt in fine or its owning it geta tighter but with the sensor it just keeps spinning i had to re allocate to another spot on the block. Though some of surface on the sensor itself is hanging off the block doesnr have full contact. The car runs the same though. Can i use this as a permanent solution?

? I called supercheap repco and some others. Also wreckers for 2nd hand

I didnt i called up shops

i saw 20$ ebay ones have a 5 year warranty.

Repco is a rip off 200$ is oem apprently. I'll get one from a wrecker.

i took it to my mechanic i need a new knock sensor, there was a code for a throttle position sensor but apprently its old. Suprisingly nothing for an exygen sensor. I wanted to ask do you think its a bad idea to buy a 20$ one from ebay as opposed to a 95$ from a retailer?

Ah ok makes sense. Cheers

I was curious, not for any car in particular but a general question. If a car is running rich due to a faulty fuel injector for example it would be only one spark plug that would be dry and black correct? But if it's something like a failed oxygen sensor or fuel pressure regulator would all the spark plugs be dry and black?

My fuel filter was replaced 10,000km ago i think.

Ok, thanks for the feedback. 02 could use a replacement lol the light does pop up frequently lol, wires and spark plugs changed not too long ago, I'll see what I can do.

It's an automatic, and it does shift smooth but every day after work it does shift a bit funny on this road I always drive on (just a normal straight road. I might be ovethinking it), when I changed the transmission fluid, the filter barely had any debree inside it like a couple of specs lol, it was also red the fluid so didn't look contaminated. My mechanic was surprised when he opened it, there was no discolouration.

Mysterious lol? 2001 impreza. Maybe throttle body needs a clean? The car is driven well I don't floor it or do any stupid shit. I wonder if it was that time I messed with the throttle position sensor, but I did put it back to normal.

its n/a lol

This has been happening for a couple months on my Subaru, drives great no issues and done quite a bit of servicing recently on the fluids and filters, but when driving sometimes I put my foot down nothing happens and even if I put it down almost all the way, but then it suddenly takes off. What does this sound like? I always fill up with 98, everyday at high speeds so I don't think it would be something like a clogged injector. Maybe a fuel pump failing?

I cleaned it ages ago it stopped popping up for a while but pops up every now and again.

Ah ok interesting to know. Car is very solid no mechanical issues, just was worried about this. Do have the common faulty oxygen sensor thing but hasn't affected the car at all.

lol.

I thought subaru fixed their head gasket problems? Mine is a 2001 model. Do you think I did damage having my temperature gauge near the red? I don't think it was for more than a couple of minutes.

On my Subaru boxer engine, I had for the first time the gauge go to the high temperature a while back because i ran out of coolant I never checked it in 3 years and after 3 years it ran out lol. I had other people tell me they top of their coolant in their cars (not Subaru's) just wondering if this is normal? I guess it's always been this way. I don't see any visible leaks, possible early head gasket failure? I topped it up to the max line now, cause I think i did lose some again. Would I have also done damage to the head gasket if I drove the car for a few minutes with it being or high temperature? (near the red)

Hey mate do you know how much I have to torque the bolts inside the pan and outside the pan? I can't find a manual for this car anywhere.

apparently there is an external filter aswell? according to my research their isn't so I'm confused.
