Re: SYNCRO SUBARU SWAP SOME ADVICE PLEASE
Also found the fuel filter on my syncro today, its the OG filter from when the van was new!!!!! my van is a 1988 everything on the van seems to have been serviced fairly well apart from it getting a fuel filter-probably as access to the filter is a bit of a sod!
