The AUSubaru.com.au Forums

Hey guys,
Is someone able to point me in the direction of a workshop manual for a 89 L series with EFI in Aus. I know of the ones that are on the net but they are for American vehicles and there is only part of the manual there. I need a lot more than that eg the gearbox/transmission section, the body section and lots more. I am willing to pay if someone has it on CD. The Gregory's ones do not cover EFI and the Haynes manuals are usually pretty useless.
Cheers

your right the gregories dont cover the efi or turbo models but are still a great help because its all basically the same. thats if ya cant find anything else

there is a factory service manual in the form of 2 pdfs that I have for 1989 models, covers turbo & efi. I think I got it off this forum somewhere. Try the tech manual section

Go to http://www.ausubaru.com then look at the download link.

Yeah guys thanks for that but I have that one but its missing bits out of it I was after a complete one. If its possible if not will give Subaru a ring on tues to see if I can get one through them.

Whats the problem, i tore down a 89mpfi and modified the wiring to take an 88 turbo motor, if its electrical i might be able to help

yeah i wanted the gearbox section do do a auto to manual swap and i also wanted to know what the hell this is and if supossed to be connected.

That thing is a hill holder I think. you can connect it/disconnect it, whichever you wish. Just block the vacuume line off - EDIT* I have been corrected, disregard.

no that is the vacume storage cannister for the interior ventilation controls

is it supposed to be connected if so to what as when I bought the car the wires were of it and there is no hose going or coming from it everything seems to work.

Sorry mate I thought your photo was referring to what I've marked "A". That is the vac tank as I said it looks fine one hose should goes to a vacume source (intake manifold or something) and the other into the cabin. The thing i've marked "B" I have no idea! never seen it on any of my L series. someone else might know hopefully

Got both Gregory's and Haynes here.. Haynes is a right old pain in the arse to figure out anything in. Gregories is much better but less info.

I assume you are talking about the little solenoid. In the carby cars, it supplies vaccum to an articulator to raise idle speed when you turn on the Air-Con, God knows why they put them on the MPFI cars as they were never connected. MPFI engines have a solenoid on the throttle body to that raised idle when the AC is on
