The ***ALL NEW*** AUSubaru.com.au Forums

Hi Guys I have a 2015 forester running the tyres that come with it . I have had 2 punctures and 3 heavy side wall gouges just exposing the steel belt in the worst .(this being scraped in third flat.). The vehicle has done 25,000 kms I drive about 15% on dirt the rest bitumen all tyre damage bar 1 f...

And of course it's the simple things...Another great result! Love how it's moving forward (literally) .

If it's the same unit perhaps try this thread (from another site):

Oh no my clock doesn't work

HI Donkeytits, great work again. Perhaps some monitoring- have you got FreeSSM or ROMRaider or an OBDII reader hooked up? That way you could monitor exactly what it's doing (or trying to do). Not sure if OBDII will work with 2001 as it's pre Aussie-OBD mandate. You could possibly remap with ROMRaide...

some thoughts.... 1) I thought snapping the throttle shut usually results in a momentarily rich mixture (or at least did with carbys) as the air is removed but he fuel remains or keeps coming through for a short period...although the reduced flow can lead to higher temps. Two ways to reduce this: EG...

Hi Bennie, Just my 2c worth (which of course rounds to $0 nowadays ;-) ) on the 2 issues I think are the most important, even though I know you've gotten the roadworthy elsewhere: Especially as it is your sister's vehicle. I don't know a lot about this area but I have just been through fitting some ...

Just quickly I can confirm that the reset procedure in Toonga's post at the top works on my 2010 Forester Diesel.

Bennie, almost exactly the same for me -marriage, job, kid, "inheriting"! What you've got to realise is all those "parental donations" (and from others) are really just them getting rid of their junk. So politely refuse. Note you may carry out the same donation in oh, say, 20 yrs time ;-) Another or...

Congrats on both the move and the new job. Been there, done that so know how it feels and certainly had similar learnings. To that I would add: 1) Start packing at least two weeks beforehand. That means you have the boxes before that. 2) Moving lots of stuff? Have a skip out the front (on move day, ...

Oh and the power steering pump is noisy. Sounds like the levels low and there's is air in it. No idea why, it wasn't bad in the donor car. It was drained, and the new powersteering fluid I put in turned to foam as soon as it went in. So hopefully it just defoams and is right tomorrow. Noisy+foamy p...

Should be driving tonight once I stick my hacked up rad system in. Exhaust will be ending at the headers, so won't have to tell the neighbours, they'll know whats happening. ...It won't look modded enough bro, I'll get no cred! :P If you are in Canberra esp Northside with Summernats on can I sugges...

Great work again and happy it's going well for you with minimal delays/detours/decoys/diversions.

Just remember to remove the shifter before you close the bonnet (did something like that myself...once..!

Will the battery space be big enough to hold a 6-cyl battery?

Toonga's Nannadan brought back the following memory for me... Back at school in the late 80's there was a period where I did golf for sport with a young, likeable teacher that was a competent player (I think his handicap was 4, at least until he took up teaching full time ;-) ) on golf-minding dutie...

I more or less lurk here now, but the same though has occurred to me for some considerable time. In my opinion prolific, enthusiastic contributors don't usually suddenly vanish without either some warning or sign-off unless something compelling has intervened. I really hope it's something as simple ...

2am?? 3am??? You're as bad as I am

Awesome work, by the way.

Frankensubaru will live!

Seriously impressive stuff, especially the interfacing.

Just hope something silly like an leaky old head gasket doesn't trip you up... but that's trivial for someone of your skills.

If I had 1/10th your skills I'd be 10x better than I am.

Wish you the best of luck and look forward to progress.

So a couple of years down the track now, are diesel owners still having shuddering issues? I am keen to pick up one of these second hand usually with around 150k on them. While I am happy enough to work with DPF and oil dilution issues, was there ever a solution/diagnosis to shuddering (yes I read ...

Actually don't drive it much now. Left it to the wife. Runs better on winter (alpine) diesel. Has blown a turbo hose (replaced- $400 thanks Subaru), thrown the A/C (at Xmas- and $3000, thanks Subaru), busted glow plugs (haven't bothered and haven't needed ) and even been decarbonised at 100k free of...

Well, just to let you know the Yokohama A/T-S (I think that's right) have lasted over 100,000kms on our car. Amazing. Yes, they're on their last legs but still amazing and great value for money. Oh and the default suspension alignment must be good as they've all worn evenly save for me scrubbing the...

Nice work. As for hot, the problem may more be in summer when the roof gets hot, LEDs don't like heat. And remember the LED emission area is really small and they don't conduct heat well, so the damage gets done as the heat is concentrated. Still at $2 a pop it's a bargain. Reckon cargo area's where...
