check the brake fluid level first, you might have a slow leak

check the brake fluid level indicator. I found one that was sticking a bit when the car was parked but after it gets driven the vibrations free it up.

Usually means there is a fuel leak in the engine compartment, and the heater is pulling the fumes into the car thru the vents under the windshield.

Blowin fuses or the relay is shot.Or headlight switch is shot.

yep,like george jettsons spacemobile..

Hi there, i had a similar problem with my Legacy B4 RSK Blitzen, 2 litre Twin Turbo, Engine EJ208. Car would idle sort of ok when cold, after warming up it would idle erratically (idle hunting) and cut out sometimes. I notices the boost gauge hunting along with the RPM'S .I found it to be 2 faults. 1st fault - If you have an after market air filter and the car hasn't been mapped for the extra airflow past the MAF (Airflow Meter) then it confuses the ecu as its taking in un-metered air. Solution - Re-map car to take extra airflow or as i did, i took out the MAF and cleaned it with a can of Carb&Choke cleaner. It worked but still had rough idle. 2nd fault - Air could be in your cooling system. If there is air in the system then the engine temp sensor is reading hot/cold/hot/cold everytime an air bubble passes by, which will cause running problems. You may hear a gurgling or slushing noise in the car, which is air in the heater matrix. Solution - From cold open the header tank and coolant overflow bottle, un car untill engine warm and hold at 2000-4000 rpm untill you see air bubbles rise in the header tank. Make sure your hot air is turned on in the car and vents open. Do this process for 10-15 mins and when you think all air is out of system then re-fit header tank cap. Have a watering can at hand as you may require to top it up during bleeding. It will overflow but dont worry. Only real problems Legacy's give are , Air Flow Meters, Knock sensors, and Lambda Sensors (O2 sensor). Hope this helps mate, keep us informed on how you get on.

here is a trick ...jump it off and unhook + batt cable if car shuts off alternator if stays on replace batt

Hi there:DTC P0458 - Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Purge Solenoid Control Circuit Low VoltageCheck HERE the pinpoint test.Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

You must have a shop run a cooling system pressure test with a special tool to determine the origin of the leak. It is likely the problem is the water pump

use your car manual and locate the fuse box then use the diagram on the fuse box to show you which fuse is for the lighter and remove it and fit a new one and you should be good to go

best bet is to scan the computer, some major autoparts stores will do it for free

Hi a camber kit changes the way a cars suspension works and adjusts the wheels to a certain angle, it is highly unlikely that an unmodified car requires a camber kit as usually modified cars that sit really low need them, i would get a 2nd opinion before buying as they are not cheap
