Since I always write down everything easy to read. ~12tkm / year Everyday car as far as possible no distances under 10km have let away everything that doesn’t necessarily have to be. Sports exhaust, additional displays, exhaust exhaust again…. , spec. care equipment, fee for 2x Nordschleife …. hazards approx. 55,000km and a total average consumption of ~10,1 SuperPlus inspections, 1xrel. expensive sports brake blocks at 50tkm, Tüv, fuel, taxes, insurance “TK!”, purchase winter tyres + rims, winter tyres Angerung, Wuchten, Montage ~70€ per year… “300€ SB for new windshield” Powers per month ~255€ + … what stands above and loss of value insurance sinks always further. 2011 almost ~160€ less! But this year is probably the first time new summer tires due, gears, diff oils are on it, hail damage or ice fell from the roof and then 2012 finally the tooth cord .

Hello, out of frustration about Subaru, I would like to publish here a few key data about the problems with my Subaru Forester. I would be pleased to read more experiences. I am currently superior to leaving the car, because I am very dissatisfied with the quality (which is so highly praised) of Subaru. My report: 50,000 km intake valves defective, Rep. costs approx. 500€ (despite deduction of culant betr.) 70,000 km gas valve defective, Rep. costs approx. 500€ (despite deduction of culant betr.) 75.00 0 km rear shock absorber defective, rep. costs approx. 1000€ (no culant!) At the moment I have driven 77,000 km by car and am curious when the next repair will occur. All mentioned problems are no individual cases and in the Subaru scene known. So far I have not had a car with so many repairs. Not even my Ford Mondeo (in which I do not set high quality standards) causes me so much trouble. In addition, the next workshop is half a world trip away, which always ho This was known to me before, but I didn’t think I could do it every month. All in all, I wonder how the customer satisfaction values at Subaru come together? FYI: Consumption: approx.11 liters of gas with normal driving mode The new Subaru Diesel seems to cause trouble with clutch and soot filter, probably I will now switch to VW again. The Amarok costs no more than a forester.

Hello together, I bought the said Legacy Station Wagon a few weeks ago and since the overpass unfortunately only trouble with the car back to 100 km of highway the engine control light went on and the car started running very restless.Error was read at Subaru,with the statement that the car had a misignition on all four cylinders.Only once was displayed and therefore the error was deleted and I should go on for the first time.2 S td. later the lamp went on again, now alternating bright and flashing.I was advised to change the ignition coil and I did so, unfortunately without success…. Next I changed all ignition cables, also that has absolutely nothing changed.Zündkerzen changed and also here absolutely no change Has anyone perhaps an idea where exactly the problem could lie? I am grateful for every advice. The vehicle has a gas system from Brc which as far as I can I have the problem described in both gas and petrol operation.

Hello. My father drives an Impreza 2.0l 115hp. BJ 97. Since after this time his first key had clear traces of use and was only difficult to release from the ignition lock he drove on with the spare key and had decided to have a new spare key made during a key service. Unfortunately he had to find out that the engine with this turned but did not sprung. Then he drove to his Subaru dealer who told me this with a chip in the He was already amazed at the cost of about 90€, but thought that if there was a chip in it the price could be right. Yesterday the key arrived. He paid the saleswoman the 90€ went to his car and found that even here only the engine turned and did not sprang up. Now he spoke to the car master of the operation on it, who then asked him if he still had the old key. He gave him the old key and he put the chip out and into the new one. Dan thought he already “If that’s how I wouldn’t have needed the new key at all”. And look, the engine jumped on. To the question why the key would be so expensive he was answered that they could not do anything at the price, he would be so predetermined by Subaru. Has anyone of you already had such experiences? I find it a cheeky thing the Subaru for the gle ie product(as delivered without a chip) requires 11 times the key service (7.95€). What do you think of it?

Hello I have a problem with my Forester (SH). It consumes almost 1 liter more diesel lately. And it seems to be on the left rear wheel. This is already noticeably warmer on very short distances (5km) than the other three. So I thought something had to grind. Short the disc brakes etc. dismantled and everything tried to make it work (cylinders move in and out again, dirt searched and removed) Checked whether hand brake goes and also again on the Gru and position back. It seemed to be right. Everything was built back together and then the mandatory test drive. Warming seems to be low now but it is still getting warmer. Do you have a tip for me what it can be. You don’t hear any grind and turn I can also do everything relatively easy. On the net I have not yet encountered any comparable case Greeting and thanks Ruthi

I would be interested in the realistic everyday consumption of the vehicle mentioned in the title. According to some test pages, the vehicle consumes 8.5 liters with fuel-saving driving. I consume about 7.8 liters with my Impreza from 1999. Can’t imagine that the consumption of the new one is so high?

Hello all, at my outback the clutch is now just before completely – the car has now just 187tkm on it. The stupid ZMS has been chirping around for a long time. I’m afraid now – the flywheel is already scraped – and so a ZMS costs me much too much. Since there are probably lots of outbacks without ZMS in AUS + USA – I would like to convert to EMS. I have now discovered an EXEDY complete kit in the USA – EMS + pilot bearing + rear bearing + friction pad and pressure plate for 159 dollars. Transport costs + customs + fairytale tax count together – then I come to approx. 250€ material costs. Has someone converted nn EJ25 Outback (MY 00) to EMS?

Servus Love Justy “Experts” I have the following problem with my little Justy BJ 1996, 1.3l, 50kw… After I changed the ZKD yesterday and now built the car together again, of course with the correct position of the timing belt he just doesn’t want to start. Ignition spark is available and the petrol also arrives, the plugs are all on and I don’t have anything to do now…? I did a video once and maybe someone listens to wa Thank you! lg Berni The link to the videohttps://youtu.be/Ngg7PvgE0n0

Good day, after the engine started to jerk, it was time to clean the AGR valve of my boxer diesel. It was really messed up. After that, it ran fine. A day later, the engine malfunction lamp and the ESP lamp went on! But the engine runs without problems!! When I looked yesterday, AGR is clean, but axle cuff left inside is torn and loses fat. Could THAT also be the cause of burning the ESP lamp and engine disturbance lamp? Would for prompt feedback from the Subaru diesel drivers drive gratefully.

Hello, I have a few general questions about the Impreza WRX: – How is the material appearance inside like this? – How reliable is it? – How is the sound of the WRX (2005)? – Is the turbo hole strongly noticeable – How long does the car hold (150.000km+)? – Are the repair costs high? I’m looking forward to your answers. P.S. Unfortunately I haven’t made it to the next Subaru dealer yet.
