  • Heating???

    Hello, I own a 7106 / ABV with AT and live in the large area Muenchen. I am looking for experiences and installation partners or experiences about installation partners. I have read in a bit and found out that the installation company is also important. In the net all are the best partners. Who can you recommend there and so that it does not run counter to the MODS, I ask for a PN. Which system would you recommend? Also here it would be in the eyes of the MODS Schleichwerbung and there also bitt e a PN to me. What makes me wonder if with all my (but also from others) questions a LIKEWHERE might be possible, why then still such a forum, if one should not call Haendler and Marken. To me this happened in another area of the MT. Greetings and thanks Lothar.

  • Purchase advice Forester SJ 2,5i USA model

    Hello together, as the heading says, I prefer to buy in consideration above mentioned Forester, year 2014, 52.000km in USA version. The car was already registered in D, so possibly conversions should no longer be a topic. The vehicle ID starts with J – so he should be crawled in Japan of the same band as our German models. Is there anything else that would speak against it? Ohso – yes, I absolutely want a model with 2.5l engine! Since this for inexplicable reasons with us only in the Outback and the Forester from the space offer and concept more accommodating I came up with the idea with the US model. Dear Greetings and Thank you already Thilo

  • Impreza locked down?

    Hello together I’ve been the owner of a new Impreza’s Ecomatic with 110Kw since May. I’m also very happy with the car. But, can it be that the car is somehow sealed off at 210 km/h (according to Tacho)? At this speed the car spins about 5,700 rpm. It also doesn’t matter if I drive with gas or gasoline. He doesn’t want to go faster. My friend has no explanation for this yet.

  • so, XV ordered

    Khaki Blau as Exclusive +. I thought for a long time whether orange or ebend Khaki, but then left me the courage to orange. In principle, extra paints are not possible for me, since I prefer to go on holiday in the next week, but also here, of course, everyone as he likes. Bin Probe drove, very, very convinced me. He has the exhaust emission standard 6C to NEFZ incl. exemption for vehicles not registered already in Germany or Rotterdam with first registration na ch 01.09.18 to max. 01.09. 2019. With this I pay 160€ taxes and have no risk to pay as you read it more often with the new standard according to WLTP and since this standard can still work without particle filters I can use a lower fuel consumption as well as a source of error less, because I also enjoy shorter distances or live with it 2 questions from the menu I would have had, for fun had connected with Wlan, worked also without problems, but the update menu for the machines tefirmware (not map update ) remained inactive and what is the bypass menu in the menu? Thank you.

  • Winter tyres recommendations

    Hello Subarufreunde, my first winter for me Forester s Turbo Bj. 98 is at the door. The mounted all-year tyres (Vredestein 215/60R 16 99H) are almost new, but too lax from the profile for our formalities. What have you done for experience with different manufacturers? Maybe someone also wants to exchange, either for above or have brand new summer tyres in the garage. Thanks for your help

  • Can Subaru workshops be trusted?

    Hello together, after the VW of my parents only comes into the years soon something new becomes due. Since VW currently offers nothing really pleasant and we have heard only good about Subaru so far, we wanted to try it quite gladly with a Legacy Kombi. Which model is not yet known. We have concerns primarily because of the quite thin workshop net. After with Volvo, where it looks like with the preparation of the workshops looks like, a fiasco without Verg I don’t want this to happen again. The service there ran through incompetence, puff to insolence. Although you read over and over again that Subaru customers are very satisfied with the car and workshop, but I wanted to know if these reports correspond with the practice. In other words… can you rely on the few that exist? I mean not a miracle or a glass palace, but honest and precise work. So you can take a few minutes to dispel my concerns, I would be very grateful.

  • New Impreza ?

    Hi, is it true that a completely new Subaru Impreza comes in 2007 or 2008?

  • Subaru Legacy 2.0i or 2.0D ?

    Hello, I would like to buy a used car Subaru Legacy from 2012 and am still unsure if it should become a petrol or diesel. What I read on the internet: In addition to advantages in fuel consumption, the diesel should also have a better response behavior. Apart from the engine sound, the diesel is therefore more recommended. Furthermore, the diesel control chain and no timing belt have, which should keep the follow-up costs slightly lower than the gasoline. Can you confirm it? Or should you go to the petrol truck?

  • Update Entertainment System?

    Hello all, Is there a possibility for an update of the entertainment system? I have a Forester SJ (2018), but the system seems somewhat “antiquated” to me, i.e. no mirroring of the mobile phone display possible (Samsung S7), the Subaru Starlink app is a joke (grottenlahm) and the counterpart in Subaru seems just as useless (not to mention the equally useless app “aha”. Thanks for your advice. PS: The Forester is a super vehicle – nevertheless.
