Subaru Forester

He wants to coast to save fuel ...

I let go when I see incoming traffic and in smaller roads

Ah, I see. On my end, light taps on accelerator during crawling traffic.

Thank you Istan and Egan101,

Right noe, I have this problem. When I go 30-45KPH and I let go of the accelerator, I feel as if the car is braking slightly on it’s own for a while then it starts to go normal again. Any thought on this?

Have your maf sensor and spark plugs checked.

I have this nagging issue regarding the brake lights.

The driver side is busted again. While the 3rd and passenger side are still working despite being them being 8 yrs already.

Do you guys have this issue as well? What could it be? Blown fuse?

Replacement bulbs are not as good as the factory ones ... Careful not to touch the glass when replacing the bulb ... But mostly this is for headlight bulbs ... Find it strange for new vehicles to have busted tail lights, brake lights or reverse lights ... One of the possible reason might be someone swapped out the bulbs ... But bulbs are quite cheap for anyone to bother stealing ...

If it's a fuse problem, both would have same symptoms ... And if it's a busted fuse, then the bulb won't blow up ...

(Having a déjà vu while typing this ...)

No no no.

It's an old car. Hehe SH9 pa.

I checked online either maluwag or sira na yung fuse or sakit talaga ng SH9 to. I've seen a number of SH9s as well with busted brake light and guess where? Driver side rin. [emoji23]

Oh subarus and their issues.

Maybe that's what makes a subaru, a subaru afterall.

Pero i have to say, after all these years of driving that car, it still puts a smirk on my face everytime i floor it. Makes me giddy.

They spent all on the engine, transmission and symmetrical AWD ... No budget left for the interior and electrical system ...

Since I drive CVTs daily, I kinda miss the kick of an old school 4AT so I bring out the Mazda 3 every now and then. It feels very raw and connected to the road, a feeling that most new cars don't have.

It is one of the reasons I enjoy driving the Fiesta better over the XT. The upshifts and downshifts are more pronounced with the DCT. Subie’s CVT is quite good as it always put you within the powerband but there is no sensation of going up or down the gears.

Need your opinions hehe. Should I replace all shocks with KYB SR Special or just spend a little more and invest in coilovers? The rear shocks need replacing na kasi and might as well change/upgrade front and rear. What will be the difference ng KYB and coilovers in terms of comfort and durability? Ty sa mga sasagot

Do you want to lower your car?

If no, stick with KYB. Also, the rear shocks are self-leveling. Check the compatibility first.

For those doing their oil changes outside CASA,

Aside from M.I. casa, Where can I source the OEM Subaru oil filter (15208AA160) for FB20 (for my SH '12 Forester)?

Looking for this particular filter bec of the high (23 PSI) BPV (by pass valve) spec.

Anyone uses aftermarket oil filter? Baldwin B1402 is supposedly compatible but low BPV spec (8 PSI)

Check with fusion R. They sell consumables as well.

Hi Guys,
Medyo naboboringan kasi ako sa head unit ng forester. Do you know where can I upgrade the head unit na something like this.

ANDROID Headunit: THEY MADE IT EVEN BETTER? (217) Seicane - YouTube

Or available ba eto sa mga CASA so hindi ma void ang warranty ng forester ko since 2018 model sya. Thanks Guys!

mga sir.. need your advice po if ok lang kunin ang free 3m tint sa dealer or pangit?
Also, sabi ko kasi medium tint except sa windshield - light.

ok lang po ba yun?
hindi ko alam if may choice ako sa klase ng tint like yung mga magic magic

Ok naman basta 3M nga na tint.. pag magic tint reflective type yan.. yung parang one way mirror ang dating. Unlike nung mga charcoal series nila na dark

May 3M pa pala si Subaru ngayon? I thought nagpalit na sila ng supplier to SolarGard.
