    Question........ 1994 Subaru Domingo, my sunroof is uncooperative lately.......the switch does nothing. I thought it might be a fuse, but once in awhile it will decide to work so assuming it can't be a fuse (otherwise it wouldn't work at all). Anyone else having a similar problem?

    hi all, recently bought a 94 domingo, 130,000km, and in my exhaustive search for motor mounts, i found a website that has been very helpful to me and may be to others as well, jp-carparts.com. it has every part number for every part right down to nuts and bolts. great for cross referencing and finding compatible parts if needed. (option to import directly from japan but if you ask me, the prices are extremely excessive. i only use for part numbers)

    I have the japanese version of the domingo (fa8 54b) and i can't tell which fluid caps are which. I'm wondering if anybody could help me out. I'm trying to do a tranny fluid change

    My beloved automatic Domingo has been at the mechanics for 3 months and is still broken. The engine turns over but will not move. The bushes have been replaced and has not helped. Any ideas welcome!

    1988 E12 Microvan in Costa Rica.
    Glad to see this thread has grown some since I last lurked.
    The german manual has been very helpful with diagrams.
    Translating has been a chore as have not been able to cut and paste from the .djv format into google translate, so all characters have to be typed in, some from a virtual german keyboard!
    I still living the migrant worker life between New Orleans and Costa Rica. Headed down south in a couple of days and bringing tune up parts, filters and supplies from Auto Zone, as they are much cheaper than purchasing down there.

    Just bought a 1995 Domingo 5 speed. Seems like a great little van. This site is a great find. Thx
    Want to share some info that we did not see on site, maybe just missed it ::
    Air filter found to fit our Domingo: Air Filter: MotorMaster 23-3129-4 fits perfectly.
    Oil Filter: FRAM PH6607 filter fits.

    Does anyone have any suggestions for plug wires? I've got a 96 Domingo I wanted to replace the plug wires on and the prices of places that have the "right" plug wire sets are ridiculous. Japanoid wants around $180 for the 3 short plug wires and Maple Auto wants over $200!

    Does anyone know if the plug wires from a justy are the same length? Or any other suggestions?

    For reference, replacement Oxygen Sensor for Domingo is Denso 234-1000. Original Subaru part seems to be pretty much non-existant out there, except for japanoid listing one on their site for $572 . uhhm yeah.... The denso part was $13 on Amazon.com lol

    Hi, We have a 1995 Domingo FA8 chassis code. We are dying for some sort of manual, if for nothing else, some pictures and wiring diagrams. If you can lead us in the right direction to get one we would be grateful. Thanks-----George georobinson@hotmail.com
     

  16. Join the "Subaru Libero International Group" on Facebook. I bought a pdf copy of the manual from this post, and i can confirm that you get what he promises. Nice of him to make people support charity for it :


    UPDATE:
    I have colected all money needed to cover sources spent to buy a book. Now the book is available if you send me a prove of 5euros transfer for charity in your town.
    UPDATE END.

    Manual to Libero FA (newer version –V2) has been copied.
    484 pages pictured and transferred to PDF file.
    The cost for a book paid by my wife was about 300 PLN (~70 EUR) and few hours of work.
    Here is the deal:
    -If you want to receive a copy of manual in English, you have to pay 5 Euros for me or for charity in your town.

    -If you want to share the file with your colleague, that is fine but charity (e.g. homeless children) money transfer rule still applies.

    I think it is fair deal. Taking into account the book is very rare and that i spend hours to share with you.

    If you want receive your copy of manual please mail me at xxxxx@xxxx.com Message title : ‘Libero FAx Service Manual EN’.
    IMPORTANT: People outside European Union –only paypal or please send me prove of charity money transfer. Money transfer by bank is difficult, time consuming and expensive so it is a waste of time and resources.

    P.S.
    If you do not trust me or think my work is useless, I do not need your money. Please send me the prove of charity money transfer to my email and I will share the file.
     

  17. Ps: this post on Facebook is from 11 nov, so scroll down a bit, and you will see it :)

    Hi there, I own an Subaru E12(4WD) and an E10(2WD)
    I have a German 1990 E Serie Manual (Reparatur Handbuch - 600 pag.) and just bought a English 1987 E Serie service manual with supplement and a 1984 parts catalog (about 1300 pag.) from a guy from "Subaru Libero International Group" on Facebook for a few Euro's.
    I don't think it was the same dude but I am very grateful to him.

    Hi everyone, just got a 87 Domingo e12 from Japan a month ago, been cleaning and tuning and now it's my daily driver. Thanks for all the info and tips in here.

    Also: anyone know how to disable the speed bell thing when you hit 105 km/h? I haven't lifted a finger towards figuring it out yet but thought I'd ask first and maybe save some time.

    Greetings everyone!
    New member and owner of a 1991 Libero 1.2 4WD :)
    Love this minibus, but seem to have trouble finding spareparts in this part of the world (Denmark) any good suggestions/sites? Would also love to own a service/work manual. (Preferably English, but German could work)
    What I am especially looking for is undercarriage parts (Rear wishbone/control arm)
    Cheers, Martin

    not sure. Try ebay germany or europe. There is a Czechoslovakia LIbero forum online that you could join. Use google translation and post your question in czech. They may be able to help.

    no es seguro. Intente eBay Alemania o Europa. Hay un foro de Checoslovaquia LIbero en línea al que puedes unirte. Utilice la traducción de Google y publique su pregunta en checo. Ellos pueden ser capaces de ayudar.

    I have a very good feeling with https://www.teile-profis.de/ but the best thing is to know the exact OEM part number.
    Usually I combine the use of https://partsouq.com/ to find the exact model code of the veicle, than https://www.megazip.ru/ to browse all the exploded schematic to retrieve the part-number, and finally I look for such part number in https://www.teile-profis.de/.

    Is a bit of work to follow, but I enjoy doing it.
