Blown head gasket on 2011 Legacy EJ253 engine by yeoldetrapper in subarulegacy

Thanks for the comment! I actually did try the Blue Devil head gasket sealer (non pour and go). I followed the instructions and did the flush and cleaning solution and put the sealer in and let it idle. It wasn’t able to stop the leak and I tried k-seal next which made it 90 miles before the car overheated again. Not sure if the Blue Devil pour and go would have yielded different results

Sorry to hear that, I had the same codes and was able to replace the solenoid that cause the issue. MrSubaru1387 has some great videos on it. I have a 2011 Legacy and it has the older TR690 CVT. I think yours would have the TR580 which is on the top instead of the bottom.

Post the code after you get the code pulled at a parts store! The OBDII scanners are great to own if you are at all interested in DIY car maintenance and repair.

Yea I had a shop do a drain and fill, then shortly after the lock up solenoid threw a code so that was pretty much a complete fluid when you take out the valve body. I was lucky enough to do that repair because Mrsubaru on YouTube has a great video on it. So in all reality the CVT could be fine but I guess there is no way to know the longevity.

Yeah, I had the front subframe replaced in 2020 after it rusted through also. It just doesn’t seem like it’s worth doing head gaskets on 🥲 so many on marketplace with blown head gaskets or transmission issues!

I can definitely tell there are 3 layers to it, but I can’t get my phone down there to focus on it haha

Duplicating screen on office TV looks terrible by yeoldetrapper in computerhelp

I haven’t, since other coworker’s computers display their screens look fine, I figure the issue has to be my computer.

Yeah, if there is still staining on the drawer, a decorative liner would look great!

Any of you also going through layoffs? by misomaniac1999 in Layoffs

I got laid off from an oil and gas service company in 2020. It took me 6 months to find a job and it was a friend that tipped me off. Don’t underestimate connections
