The ***ALL NEW*** AUSubaru.com.au Forums

I just can’t fathom how you’re having so many issues with original sensors/parts etc. I’ve had engines and parts sitting around for long periods of time and when put into use they haven’t had an issue.

The original plug needs a copper washer for sealing and the sender unit ...
