The thermostat is located under the engine, driver side very close to the front. There are 2 small bolts you need to remove to take out the housing. Be prepared for falling coolant. :) Good Luck Where the lower radiator hose connects to the engine. Don't bother looking in the Haynes manual. The answers are not there for that engine, only the other models. Once you see it, you will know it. If it is overheating, bleed the system (bleed screw is on top, passenger side under the intake)before you start replacing parts. This is common on these engines because the water pump can draw in air at high RPM's and corrupt the system. If you have a consistent air problem, the water pump may need to be changed. Radiators have been known to collapse after a lot of miles also in the Subaru Legacy models. Check the cooling fan operations and all of the other standard checks before you give up. Many times it is something simple. Just don't let it get so hot that you blow a head gasket. Good luck.
The ignition coil is located just to the right of your car's engine. An easy way to locate it is to follow the wires from your spark plugs. The other end of the cable is connected to the ignition coil.
There are a number of reasons why your Subaru Legacy might not start all the time. If you're having problems in the cold, it might be that your battery doesn't have enough cold cranking amps to turn the starter. In that case, change the battery. If you haven't replace the battery in a while, it's a relatively inexpensive quick fix that if it doesn't solve the problem, just extends your battery life for the next go around. If you're stuck, turn off everything (radio, rear defrost, headlights, blower fan, etc.) and try starting the car to see if the starter isn't getting enough amps. Beyond that, it could be that your alternator isn't charging your battery properly. If this is the case, you'll see the headlights dim as you turn on and off other electrical equipment when the car is running. Check the voltage across the battery when the car is running. It should be around 13 - 14 volts if the alternator is putting out enough charge. If the alternator and battery are not the problem, the starter could be going out, or the ignition switch could be going bad, or the switch that determines if you're in Park or Neutral (assuming it's an automatic) could be bad. When the car doesn't start, try switching the car into Neutral and see if it starts there. If wiggling the shift lever fixes the problem, replace that switch. If your headlights stay on when you attempt to start the car, it's probably something with the ignition switch. If the headlights go off, it could be the starter.
The best answer is to follow the recommendations for maintenance in your particular car's owner's manual. A rule of thumb is every 30,000 miles for standard plugs and 60,000 for platinum or other precious metal plugs. Don't forget the ignition system's secondary wiring. Worn plugs and damaged wires can cause ignition coils and other ignition components to fail prematurely.
there might two one is under the dash and the other is on the distruber(sp)
All fuses that run engine, ignition, and safety equipment is under hood, all other accessories is in the passenger compartment
No. The Subaru Tribeca, Outback, and Legacy are made in Indiana. Other Subaru vehicles are imported from Japan. See the related link.
Not sure what you are seeking. Subarus use a valet key that will unlock only certain locks. You should have an owners manual for your car that will answer that and many other questions. Subaru has free manual downloads on their web site but only back to 2000. An electronic copy is available for your '99 on eBay for about 4 bucks, printed ones command a somewhat higher price. The Legacy manual covers the Legacy Outback too. --Ken

the dome light fuse...any other questions
I don't think so as when I traded in my 2003 for a 2005 Legacy the turbo was just out Other then the WRX at the time later on the Forrester came out with Turbo=I have been buying Subaru's every two or three years and the Turbo legacy I believe was 2003=I don't think so as when I traded in my 2003 for a 2005 Legacy the turbo was just out Other then the WRX at the time later on the Forrester came out with Turbo=I have been buying Subaru's every two or three years and the Turbo legacy I believe was 2003=I don't think so as when I traded in my 2003 for a 2005 Legacy the turbo was just out Other then the WRX at the time later on the Forrester came out with Turbo=I have been buying Subaru's every two or three years and the Turbo legacy I believe was 2003=
No, different gear ratio and the SVX has a viscous LSD and is uses a unique right rear axle compared to any other US Subaru
2006 was a very strong year for Subaru thanks to the 2006 Subaru Forester (selling on average $15,000 per car) as well as the 2006 Subaru Outback. Other cars, though not as well selling, in the year 2006 include the Subaru 2006 Impreza and the Legacy vehicle as well.
with all the other relays in the fuse/relay box in the engine compartment in front of the left wheel well.
if you are looking to replace the door speakers in your Subaru legacy wagon 2001 the size of the speakers in the doors is 6 and 3/4 inches that is measured from the outside of the speaker bracket to the other, if you get into better hifi equipment then the speaker is measured from one side of the cone to the other so make sure which measurement the company you want to buy from is using

Only cars with that lug size/spacing and center hub are other subarus and 2005+ saabs. see link below.
