If its like the 08. then its the cover of the rear brake light hitting the window.
It would be the cylinder head or valve cover that sits closes to the front of the engine
The cost to replace valve cover gaskets on a 2001 Subaru Legacy is about $600. If the work is done at home the cost is only $100 to $200.
In the front of the engine where the pulleys and belts are located. It's behind the pulleys under the black plastic cover.
Pull the plug out, remove the rubber cover, pinch the 2 metal pieces and twist the bull slightly to one of the sides you will be able to feel it go and pull it out. then do it in reverse to get the new light in. DONT TOUCH THE GLASS!
Do you still need some assistance?
If its the same as the 2001 subaru forester, there are two fuse panel locations: The main one is located on the lower left hand corner of the driver side dashboard where you will see what looks like a pull open ashtray holder. Pull that open and you will see that it is actually a cover for where the fuses are located.
Yes they are the exact same engine , of course if you have a 2.5 lts on the forester (common) well parts from the 2,5 rs will fit for sure. camshaft(if single or dual) intake, valve cover etc.. sensor exaqctly the same. But to be direct with your question (YES THEY ARE THE EXACT SAME THING) hope this helps.
I think you will find the hazing you are seeing is actually on the outside of the lens. Use a good cutting polish or glass cleaner and it will lift it!
Mine gets stuck when it is cold. I just tap it(rather hard) a few times and it comes unstuck, then you have to lift the release lever again
You have to remove 3 nuts from the inside of the car. Remove the cover that allows you to change the globes. Disconnect the wiriring loom. Undo 3 nuts and then the housing is held onto the body with black glue. Try heating the glue with a hair dryer or waiting for a hot day.
On the underside of the lower dash cover to the left of the steering wheel column - just to the right of the Fuse Panel cover. I'm answering my own question - I found the answer in another section (unrelated question) of the WikiAnswers. Great place this site!!
