  • ADAC Customer satisfaction

    Hello dear community! For years Subaru was always in the first place, in 2011 after Lexus in second place, also good. This fact made me very confident when buying my outback. Now I Googled once what it looks like in 2012,http://www.focus.de/…/…remium-not-only-beim-preis_aid_844704.htmlhttp://www.handelsblatt.com/…/7306298.html neither there nor on any page that has anything to do with customer satisfaction I found something from Subaru. No more car media Subaru?

  • Purchase advice 1.4 TSI (BJ.2013 – 100,000 KM)

    I would have this car in view : https://suchen.mobile.de/…/details.html?… What do you think about it? He already has his 100,000 kilometers down which makes me think a little bit, but that doesn’t have to mean anything. I would have the car checked by the DEKRA before too. Is there a special “program” which you can recommend to me? And how expensive will it be? With the car the brakes have to be changed or see soon I’m wrong? Furthermore, the car is already standing around for 3 months, because at autouncle you could see that the price was already put down and that was almost 3 months ago. If I look for similar offers so 1.4 Tsi and similar equipment I find only Leons, who have more kilometers on it and then cost even more money than I looked for out. Then I would say that the one I looked for out would have to be a good offer from the price. Do you think as far as you can go with the price down ? Or do you think at least that I could negotiate out summer tires ? Oh yes and yes apparently the seller has some wrong information in the description, because Xenon don’t have Leons at all and he doesn’t have a steering wheel with shift flaps either, just like a corner light ^^ Misinfos are quite strange, but if the car is in a good condition and the price fits, that doesn’t itch me either. Thanks vi Elmals for your help

  • Leon FR 1.8 TSI switch What to look for when buying?

    Hello, drive a BMW E46 at the moment and would like something new. Were in the surroundings in different car dealerships, where good used ones can be found. Amongst them also the Seat, in which I totally forgot: Leon FR 1.8 TSI, EU6, 6 gear switch, 1st hand, 51.000km, EZ 2013 Would like to go tomorrow and make a test ride with the good one. What should I absolutely pay attention to? Don’t know me at all with Seat, but one colleague said that Seat is generally building robust cars! Price is at 1 7.xxx€ struck, maybe I would get a little down, as my eyes have discovered a few blemishes Thank you!

  • Does not accept gas after cold start

    It is a Forrester SH ecomatics, i.e. with factory LPG with 120tkm. Error picture: After a cold start the engine does not take a gas for a short time (I did not measure it, it felt about 30 seconds). The engine starts easily and absolutely inconspicuously immediately and then runs stable with its elevated stationary gas. As soon as I give gas the speed drops until shortly before dying down and stays down until I go again from accelerator, then it “shoots” once briefly, sinks but then immediately to the increased idle speed. This he does always, always only for a certain time and afterwards runs again inconspicuously. It also does not matter whether a gear is inserted or not. There is no MIL, no error and in error memory is also nothing deposited. I noticed this problem for about 6 months and I have the feeling that it gets worse. At this point I would actually exclude the gas system as a cause of error, first of all the at this time Inactive, second, I have no other problems and thirdly, I made the last trips to work on gasoline to exclude them and the behavior was exactly the same. Does anyone have an idea? FreeSSM is available, should I read certain values with it?

  • Brake discs and pads: recommendations from brands (Impreza Diesel)

    Hello, I need new brake discs and pads for the 2011 Impreza Diesel. I drive from time to time sporty, but I am not a racing driver driving relatively few kilometers in general. In the forest of automotive aftermarket there are countless brands. Which of them you can recommend, which not at all? I write here a list on brands of which I believe it should fit: Brembo Ate TRW Bosch … Is there also a combination of discs and pads that you should not build together? nke

  • Motor control lamp and ESP lamp are connected simultaneously

    Hi I’m having quite a problem right now. At my Impreza 2.0D today after I parked it after half an hour, both the motor control light and the ESP (off?) light went on at the same time. I also have to say that since a while the particle filter light has been shining but I haven’t taken care of it yet. (And it seems to me that the train has dropped something but can also fool me.) I’m just 500 km away from home. t in Austria and don’t know me very well here either. What should I do now? Can I take the way home like this?

  • Forester or Outback 2016

    Hello together. At the end of the year there is our first Subaru. On Saturday 26th March we will do the test drive. To the selection stand: FORESTER 2.0XT AWD LUXURY and OUTBACK 2.5i AWD LUXURY. Both model year 2016. Price New around 47’00 Fr. Or 6 months old around 41’009 Fr. I know the question which it will have to decide myself. 240 hp in the Forester are already a lot more than the 175 hp in the outback. Do I notice this difference? Luggage compartment is about the same size. I don’t. But in the outback more available. All-wheel drive exactly the same with both? Did someone ever stand before the same or similar decision? Thank you for your help Gruss Dani (currently on the way with Sharan TDI 2013)

  • Forester SF with almost fresh TÜV a total wreck

    Hello, again a totally stupid and idiotic action of mine. I bought myself the days a very good standing Forester SF from 1997. TÜV in December 2018 fresh (before 2000km). From the seller only the wheel bearing was mentioned as defective and then I thought to myself, “Super, that keeps itself within limits) Today to the friendly screwdriver in the workshop for the wheel bearing. He brought the car down directly and said, “Stop, throw away” According to the workshop the fo In other words, the assumption that was worked there with vitamin B was obvious. The following defects were shown to me: – Front crossbars both fell due to rust and partly already externally – rear wheel suspension completely knocked out including partly non-existent rubber bearings – axle suspension by rusted – frame and especially the thresholdrs by – brake lines through and already lose liquid – shock absorber rear left defect According to Werksta tt too many serious flaws in such a short time that make a car degenerate from transportable to wreck after 2,000km what do you think? Recommendation for me was to call the inspector and ask how this can go…… I think the coal is put in the sand. Was a private purchase, I was too gullible, and the seller says bought as seen. LG

  • Timing belt change 2.0 125PS

    Hello Subaru driver, once again on the topic of timing belt change, sorry, unfortunately did not find a suitable post. I bought for hobby and dogs a Legacy combo petrol 2.0 125 HP switch. The car is BJ 2000 , has run 203tkm and is quasi stainless. Runs well for his age and makes fun. The last timing belt change according to a sticker in the engine compartment was carried out at 140tkm. Due to existing TÜV reports and the mileage recorded on it this would have to in 2014. So there’s a change. Offer of a free workshop: 1350€ complete with WaPu. Wanted to get the days to a small Subaru workshop nearby and me an offer. Has someone here recently made the change in such a model in a Subaru factory saddle and can roughly give me a price direction. In 1350 I find already a lot, but is also my first Subaru and I lack the comparison.

  • Experienced BM/BR Generation Legacy?

    Good day, I hope some can give me some reviews about the Legacy, to say it exactly the Legacy BM/BR generation, i.e. between 2009 and 2014. I was asked by a colleague or is often asked when it comes to cars, but with Subaru have almost no experience values. Because the only one I drove was the Forester (2009) Diesel, which was a complete disaster, problem is also the only currently available Legacy, in its price segment are One of them would like a legacy 2011 looks almost like new, but with a good 200,000 km on it, at 25,000 km in the year the car will surely have heard a commuter, but question is whether the engine still gives something, of course with proper maintenance, meant now. If it were a Benz, I would say he has only half down, but what I have read about the Subaru Diesel is not particularly gratifying. Did any of you, such a Legacy and can tell me with a good conscience, with proper maintenance the part runs without changing tens of things?
