All reviews of owners about Subaru Forester SH. Eye yes eye

It is a pity, of course, the lost by the original subarovsk doorless doors - but the bodies are better than corrosion. The main thing is not to forget to look at the most vulnerable places - the bottom of the rear doors and wheeled arches, as well as the roof edge over the windshield. By the way, on the glass itself (as much as 1300 dollars is original, but only 100-200 per total of 60 rubles per dollar) cracks sometimes appear from the "game" of the body when twisting. So installing the struts between the upper supports of the front racks is desirable.

Electrician

Electrician Spattskaya, and therefore there are not so many problems with her. It happens, after five to six years, it starts to bite the central locking or the tired mechanism of the power windows drive - first, as a rule, in the "running" driver's door. If after 120-130 thousand kilometers of the headlights will burst into the floor or in the sky, the culprit hides on the lever rear suspension: The headlight corrector sensor climbs hinges or breaks the thrust. And not too mighty fan motor climatic Installation checkered about purity salon filter: The dissatisfied bearing usually begins to serve a voice in the frost. The starter may require a bulkhead through 120-140 thousand kilometers, and here the generator found himself so a warm place over the engine that without dust and dirt is capable of working to work and more than 200 thousand kilometers.

ENGINE

Well, how do the orthodox subarovsk opposites themselves feel like themselves - the famous "hedgehogs", the long-lived motors of the EJ series on dorestayling formats older than 2011?

At the four-grazing "hedges" with a phase change system for AVCS inlet (Active Valve Control System), here is such an intricate drive of the gas distribution mechanism with a long strap

With a two-liter atmospheric EJ20 (and this is the most popular "boxer": almost a third of cars in the market) do not expect from Forester outstanding speakers. But the trouble he throws less than anything. Copies of the first three years of release included a SHECK ENGINE signal earlier than 100 thousand kilometers due to a too capricious neutralizer - in 2010 it even had a service campaign to replace it. And floating turns idle move Once every 30-50 thousand kilometers can ask for cleaning throttle valve from electronically control. But the branded drum fraction of the skirt skirts (primarily in the most "hot" fourth cylinder) inside the aluminum unit with dry cast-iron sleeves Usually appears only closer to the range of 200-250 thousand kilometers.

The atmospheric engines of the EJ series of 2.0 and 2.5 liters are not different from each other. Supervised motors 2.5 have different power (230 and 263 hp) due to different firmware ECU

And if you have to change quality oil more often, it will be opposed and about 300 thousand kilometers can stretch to the bulkhead - which, as a rule, it costs without resuscitation of the block or its heads, implying only the replacement of piston rings (130 dollars per set) and crankshaft liners (200 dollars per set). After that, the motor is capable of listening to another 100-150 thousand kilometers, and subsequently survive a couple major repairs With boring cylinders and one grinding of crankshaft necks. At current times, a sample of maintainability.

Oxygen sensor S. normal fuel It is usually held about 150-180 thousand kilometers. And the heat from the release system after 120-140 thousand kilometers can critically be the case of an internal hinge of the right drive

It is important to be better to monitor the oil level in the engine - and you can check it only after a long parking: in the "horizontal" engine oil in the pallet flows slowly! After all, the "boxer" with great enthusiasm absorbs not only fuel: ten thousand kilometers, especially when driving with high revolutions, It can be treated more than two, and when there are more than 150 thousand kilometers - and three liters of oil. And what is not burning, it is capable of extorting - through the technological plugs of the cylinder block, the gaskets of valve covers, candlestones. And even through the gaskets of the heads of the blocks of cylinders after 130-150 thousand kilometers - and for their replacement you need to remove the engine!

But even more unpleasant, if after 120-140 thousand kilometers weave the glands of the crankshaft and distribution shafts. The timing configuration is that the oil does not miss the case to get on the belt, which is why it is not averse to jump, and the valves "say hello" with the pistons, devastating a pocket for a sum equivalent to several thousand dollars. So it makes sense to be reinsured - and update the glands along with the belt after 100 thousand kilometers.

All of the above is true for the 2.5 EJ25 series (13% of cars): The construction is based on the same block as the two-liter fellow. But to obtain a larger working volume, it was accounted for 7.5 mm to consolidate the diameter of the cylinders, we naturally increase the heat change. Therefore, the elder motor even with a good cooling system is more inclined to overheating, which is fraught not only by the "sticky" piston rings or running gaskets of the cylinder heads, but also the deformation of the bonded planes of the block and heads.

The situation is aggravated by leaks from radiators (especially from cars older than 2010): the cracks at the place of the docking of the plastic tank and aluminum cells sometimes appeared after a couple of years. In the future, the risk will be less if instead of the original radiator (120-150 dollars) set all-metal: it will cost approximately the same money, and will last longer.

Well, the most in all senses "cheerful" in the company of Subarovsk opposites, of course, the "boxer" volume of 2.5 liters, supplemented by the turbocharger of the IHI series VF ... which the motor itself is experiencing! The Turbine was sentenced earlier than 200-250 thousand kilometers. It may except for the cracking tube of oil supply in the first year of release vehicles, regarding which in 2008 the service campaign was almost immediately announced. And the turbo motors 2.5 (20% of cars), not even "bloated" tuning, often need resuscitation after 100-150 thousand kilometers. Moreover, to the usual, but before the emerging sores of less powerful fellows are added to the liners in the block and the destruction of the jumpers between the grooves under the rings on the pistons with the subsequent jackets on the cylinder walls.

And what is the first in the history of the Corporation Fuji Heavy Industries Turbodiesel? He came out like that damn, com. To bind to the two-liter Opposite Fe20, in small quantities migrated to us from Europe, no less risky than with a gasoline turbo engine 2.5. Especially on dorestayling copies: after a run of 100-120 thousand kilometers may not withstand loads and burst ... crankshaft! And from the usual "communion" troubles - clogging in 120-140 thousand kilometers dairy filter (3000 dollars) and did not distinguish the durability of nozzles (350 dollars), turbocharger (2000 dollars) and two-stage flywheel (1000 dollars corporate and twice as cheaper analogues).

Diesel slightly compact, but hard petrol engines. Timing the timing chain, and the turbine and the sump filter are located below

But atmospheric gasoline "boxers" of the FB family, which came to replace the deserved "hedgehogs" on restyling Foresters, until they stained their reputation for any criminal oil leaks. True, through the seals of the beds of camshafts can start hiring only 30-50 thousand kilometers - and in this case, the removal of the entire engine is also shining; And followed, the gaskets of the valve covers are narrowed.

Outside the Opposites of the FB series it is easy to distinguish from EJ on a black plastic intake collector instead of a metal and oil filter located above. Inside - chain drive timing, nozzles are located in the heads of blocks instead intake manifoldand drive valves with rocker

The Motors of the FB series are also sensitive to the quality of the oil, but the chain that changed the belt in the timing belt reminds of its existence not earlier than 200-250 thousand kilometers. And the main thing is that the engine FB25 volume of 2.5 liters (10% of cars in the market) with a smaller diameter of cylinders and a large piston running ranged from the generic curse of the EJ25 - overheating anceutors and no reliability differs from its two-liter fellow FB20 (27% of proposals) .

TRANSMISSION

Without special shocks and in transmissions. Although there is a spoonful of the tar, which was not from the previous Forester, is a short pendant bearing of the cardan shaft. Although it is protected by the screen, but it is capable of clothing sometimes after 40-50 thousand kilometers. The sadness adds that separately it is not supplied separately in parts - under the guarantee, the dealers changed the cardan shaft assembly (1000 dollars). Fortunately, Cleells brought to solve the problem with the help of suitable bearings with a price of only $ 10-12.

Even hiding the protective screen, the bearing suspension support of the cardan shaft is not distinguished by durability, but the crosses are withstanding 150-200 thousand kilometers

Six-speed mechanical gearboxes TY756 with Diesel and the five-stage TY75 with all other motors up to 180-220 thousand kilometers of attention to themselves are not usually not attracted - and then it can begin to leak the gear selection of gear and tackle the bearings of the shafts.

Two-stage transfer case Double-liter machines and that durable, and the downstream transmission allows the clutch (120-150 dollars a set) on off-road. But in diesel or upgraded Forestors with a manual gearbox, the clutch even on asphalt does not always live up to 100 thousand kilometers, while with any of gasoline atmospheric withstands one and a half times longer. Yes, and the gearboxes themselves in a pair with turbogo testers are experiencing increased loads - and sometimes they may not reach the third clutch replacement.

And do not forget that overheating with frequent slips at times reduces the life of the Viscounts (700-750 dollars) in the inter-axis differential of cars with "mechanics". The Center may be constantly blocked - Forester will be reluctant to change the trajectory and shudder in turns. And if the problem is ignored, the appearance of noise about his untimely death will soon not premind the rear gearbox (for the bulkhead it will have to give about 800-1000 dollars, and the new will cost more than 1500) - with a regular change of oil every 30-50 thousand kilometers of demolition not.

The signal on the front panel of overheating of the rear gear is often due to the result of the loss of contact or the remover of the sensor wires

But if rear wheels Pick up the jerk at sharp start Or an active entry in turns by car with a "machine", this indicates the wear of a multi-disc drive clutch rear axis or "hanging" the solenoid of its inclusion. Prepare for up to $ 2,000 and will continue not to abuse accelerations with a pedal to the floor on a slippery road. Failing solenoid and blocked by them four-wheel drive There will be a reason for the increased load on the front differential - over time it will thorough. Before it happens infrequently and during runs more than 200 thousand kilometers.

Before the appearance on the "third" Forester, the four-stage "automatic" had an external oil filterinstalled on this place (shown by the arrow)

The main thing is not to skit and often, every 30 thousand kilometers, change the oil in the "automatic", otherwise wear products quickly clog control hydraulics. And then the four-settings of TZ1, close relatives of an ancient and leisurely, but simple and reliable Jatco 4EAT box from the 80s, have every chance of trouble-free operation and after 250-300 thousand kilometers. And after repairs with the repair of the hydrotransformer, washing the hydroblock and the replacement of the pistons with frictions and the linear pressure solenoid continue to be faithfully serve further. And only on turbo-formers, they fall into two times faster - as well as more prone to overheating five-speed TG5 box (made on a constructive basis Jatco JR507E), which appeared in 2011 in the 263-strong version.

SUSPENSION

But to the chassis, the previous Forester had an almost sample reliability, there were more questions. Rear shock absorbers With self-similar (600 dollars per piece!) Also surrendered after 70-80 thousand kilometers, and sometimes after one missed large pit. Conventional shock absorbers ($ 150 original and from 70 per famous counterparts) Even taking into account the need for the rear springs with other characteristics (50 dollars), they cost three times cheaper. Like the front (200 dollars, branded and 100 substitutes), requiring replacement after 100-140 thousand kilometers. Together with their second set, as a rule, new support bearings are needed (50 dollars).

Inexpensive racks (15-17 dollars) and speaker bushings of stabilizers walk the same 40-60 thousand kilometers. And front and rear hub bearings (And those and others assemble with hubs of 110 and 170 dollars, respectively), still withstand at least 100-150 thousand kilometers - like ball supports in the front suspension (50 dollars original and from ten analogues). But here is the rear silent blocks of the changed front levers (25 dollars branded and three times cheaper than analogs) not every time overcoming the frontier of 100 thousand kilometers - whereas before they held one and a half times longer. A modified rear multi-dimensions, although it does not require attention earlier than those of 150 thousand kilometers, but its subsequent revision costsly more expensive - $ 600-650.

Steering

Decent 130-150 thousand kilometers can withstand steering traction (45 dollars original and 15-counter analogues) with tips (40 dollars and from ten, respectively). And the mechanism itself is a robber type (1,400 dollars) with a conventional hydraulicer in dorestayling formards, although it is capable of upseting a flow after 100-140 thousand kilometers (as a rule, the first hand to the steering shaft oil carriage), usually does not need to be replaced, but in the bulkhead with Remkomplekt .

The knock in the rail with an electric power can not progress for a long time, and when replacing the steering shaft sleeve sleeve, the detail disappears for a long time

But the "Reika" with the electric powerlier (2000 dollars) in two-liter Forester began to upset the knocks already during runs 30-50 thousand kilometers! At first, the dealers changed the guarantee node, but then a repair kit with a different support sleeve of the steering shaft gears appeared for EUR: after it is installed on the problem, you can forget if not forever, then for a long time.

BRAKE SYSTEM

Regardless of the year of release, carefully inspect the condition brake pipes (50-100 dollars): There are no corrosion, because of which in 2014 it even happened to the service campaign to replace them. And at least once a year, during a planned, you need to remember the guides of the calipers (by 220-280 dollars): without regular cleaning and lubrication, they have a habit of sharpening.

Outcome

It comes out, individual positions of the "third" forester, compared with the predecessor, passed. But still on the reliability of Forester and, for example, Honda CR-V Compare - and both will be stronger than most European or Korean crossovers. So after all and the high price of Subaru under the Hondovo! Even instances of the first years of release with a two-liter engine will cost no less than 600-650 thousand rubles. And on a restyled car with any of the FB's atmospheric, prepare all 800 thousand.

Subaru Forester ( Subaru. Forester.) - One of the most popular models of the Japanese brand is manufactured since 1997. This generation of the model has gross its predecessors and moved to the category of full crossovers. Most fans of this model were skeptical to the changes that occurred as a result of the chase of manufacturers for fashion trends, but despite this, the car enjoyed good demand and developed a large circulation. But, as things are the reliability of used Subaru Forester 3, and what to pay attention to when buying this car on secondary market, now talk about it and talk.

A bit of history:

Subaru Forester (Forester) is a car, with a relatively small story. The debut of the first generation took place in 1995 on the auto show in Tokyo. This car I came to the change of Impreza Gravel Express, more famous in America and Europe, like Subaru Outback Sport. The second generation of the model debuted in the market in 2002 and is considered one of the most successful versions of this brand. Subaru Forester 3 was first introduced in 2007 in Japan. The international debut of the novelties took place on the roadshow in Detroit in 2008.

Starting on the third generation, the manufacturer abandoned the frameless side glasses applied to Subaru from the beginning of the 70s. Compared to its predecessors, the wheelbase was increased by 89 mm, while the total length increased only by 76 mm. For European and American markets, different versions of the car are manufactured. In 2010, restyling was held, this update was practically not affected by the design, only the bumper and the grille were exceeded. The main changes occurred with technical equipment and complete sets. The production of the fourth generation of the model was launched at the end of 2012, and in 2015 it was presented to Tokyo to Tokyo updated version car.

Problem seats Subaru Forester 3 with mileage

Body Iron Subaru Forester Third Generation is not prone to corrosion, but only if the car has not been restored after a serious accident. But, the quality of the paintwork is not the most high level, as a result, chips and scratches appear fairly quickly (justice it is worth noting that this problem relevant for all modern cars). Also, not famous for its strength and windshield. Because of its not quite good location can refresh contact Group Headlight corrector.

Engines

Subaru Forester Third Generation was completed opposite engines: gasoline H4 - 2.0 (150 hp), 2.5 (170 hp) and turbo 2.5 (230 hp); Diesel H4 2.0 (147 hp). Opposite motors compared to ordinary, are considered more complex in maintenance and repair. For example, in order to replace the spark plugs, you will have to spend not one hour and many nerves, therefore, it is recommended to serve the car on the branded service station. The most reliable, among gasoline power units, atmospheric 2.0 and 2.5 liters have proven itself. Both engines are equipped with a timing chain drive, a chain and tensioner have a fairly good resource - about 200,000 km, but still, after 100,000 km, you need to constantly monitor their condition. Owners who love dynamic ride, noted that after 500 km mileage, the engines appear Zhor oil. Of the main drawbacks of these motors, you can allocate: insufficient power for this car, a small resource of ignition coils and oil leaks.

Buying a car, equipped with HBO, you need to be prepared once in 40-50 thousand km to regulate thermal gaps, the complexity of this procedure is that it is necessary to remove the engine (about 250 USD for this work . ). Forester's second hand with a turbocharged motor is risky enough, especially if you only conduct a visual inspection. The fact is that, often, a car with such force aggregate They buy for an active ride, as a result, quickly wear out the turbocharger, also, pistons are destroyed. One of the most common problems of this motor is that with dynamic driving, punches the cylinder head gasket to avoid this, it is necessary to replace the original mounting bolts to reinforced.

Diesel motors have not only good dynamics and economy, but also a number of serious flaws. So, in particular, on cars that were produced from 2008 to 2010, a problem with the failure of the crankshaft (burst) is quite common. Also, they are not famous for its reliability of the nozzle and two-mask flywheel. Often, the owners are numbered on the low quality of the solid particle filter.

Transmission

For Subaru Forester 3, three transmissions are available - five- and six-speed mechanics, a four-stage automatic machine. The most reliable has proven itself proven by the time of the four-stage automatic, its greatest drawback is non-historicalness and shocks when moving and switching transmissions. Does not cause a lot of hassle and mechanics, only on cars with diesel engine The first years of release, after 50,000 km, can arise with clutch. On the other versions, the clutch serves 100-120 thousand km. It is worth noting that cars with automatic transmission do not have a permanent full drive, since here a multid-wide coupling controlled by electronics is used instead of the central differential.

Suspension reliability Subaru Forester 3 with mileage

This model is fully equipped independent suspension: in front - MacPherson, rear - multi-dimensional. The car is used self-leveling SLS suspension, which is quite expensive to repair. Owners who do not want to spend a lot of money to repair running, set ordinary shock absorbers. The suspension of the car is not famous for its endurance, and, when using the machine for direct purpose and at all, it may be unpleasant to surprise. The bushings and stabilizer racks are minimized, as well as silent blocks in the upper rear A-shaped levers (change assembly with the lever) and ball supports, their resource in rare cases exceeds 60,000 km. Shock absorbers, support and wheel bearings, with careful operation, can hold out to 80,000 km. Do not be famous for their reliability and anthers of the shruses and, if not followed by their condition, the Sch0 will not work out half of its resource. Brake pads, on average, serve 40-50 thousand km, discs - up to 100,000 km.

Salon

The salon is quite simple, but the finishing materials used are not the best quality, because of this, with time, crickets appear in it. Most, screenshots and knocks do the owners during the cold season. The main sources of noise are: front racks, torpedo, door trim and plastic trunk elements. The car is not famous and good, but most owners solve this problem independently. There are complaints and reliability of electrical equipment. One of the main deficiencies is considered to be failed in the operation of the air conditioner, which can work when driving a car, and when stopped, turn off, for example, in a traffic jam. In most cases, to solve the problem, it is necessary to replace the fan fuse. Often, the cigarette lighter comes out of order, it would seem that the problem is not big, but to be eliminated to be disassembled almost the entire console. Also, you can note the failures in the operation of the windows, the central lock and heating the front seats.

Outcome:

Subaru Forester 3 refers to a row of cars, which are called "good", but he has a number of flaws. Many motorists do not like his design, the level of comfort and handling, but if you choose a car for specific tasks, then it is worth looking at this car.

If you are the owner of this car model, please describe the problems that you have to face during the operation of the car. Perhaps it is your feedback that will help readers of our site when choosing a car.

In their eyes, he was confused by the Harizm and the inhability of the first two generations in the first two generations, becoming a victim of fashion for full crossovers. However, this model diverged a much larger edition.

Despite the Japanese origin and success in the market, hijackers do not complain Forester attention. Pretty good starting immobilizerEmbedded in the engine control module and dashboard will not save from a focused attack, but will become a stumbling block for a random kidnapper.

All Foresthers come from Japan. The quality of the paint coating is good - there is no weak places at the body. Traces of corrosion will indicate a non-professional recovery repair. But pay attention to the attachment of the license plate on the back door. Many owners set the number without a frame, over time he rides paint - and rust appears.

Eye yes eye

Before restyling, conducted in 2011, atmospheric motors 2.0 (150 hp) and 2.5 (172 hp) belonged to the EJ series. These age-related opposites with belt drive drives are well known for most Subaru models.

The junior engine EJ20 with a volume of 2.0 l is the most reliable in the line. Servicemen estimate its average resource in 250,000-300,000 km. After the overhaul, he is able to serve as much as much. The average resuscitation costs without the treatment of a block of cylinders or heads. Mostly, only piston rings and inserts are expaid for tolerances. The main thing is for the regulations (at least every 15,000 km) to change the oil in the engine and easily monitor its level - all the SUBARU motors are characterized by a good appetite with aggressive ride or long-term movement on high revs.

Senior atmospheric brother EJ25 (2.5 l) is the same Motor 2.0, but with boring cylinders. Accordingly, due to the thinner walls between the "pots", it is inclined to the so-called "overheating", which occurs with long-term high loads. Usually it is long (about an hour!) Riding at speeds close to the maximum. Even with a good cooling system and clean radiators, block head gaskets can be burned. Sometimes there is contact planes of the cylinder and heads block. With tough "overheating" lie piston rings. Because of this, oil consumption increases, and sometimes even appear on the cylinder mirror.

When buying from the hand of the car with the EJ25 motor, make a hundred-test content exhaust gases in the cooling system. He will tell about the status of the head of the cylinder heads. The operation is inexpensive, requires uncomplicated equipment. Do not regret money (about 1,500 rubles) and on the so-called lik-test, which will show leakage in the cylinders. He is akin to checking compression, but much more accurate.

Motors with a capacity of 230 and 263 hp - Superior versions of the EJ25 engine. Poster forces - the merit of other engine firmware engine. The average resource of the upgrade brothers is estimated at 100,000-150,000 km. The faults are the same as atmospheric units, only manifest themselves on earlier runs.

The original breakdown of the turbogo - the burden of the liners. Frequent cause - Oil fasting due to low level Lubricants or loss of their properties. Therefore, even with non-intensive exploitation, it is important to reduce the oil replacement interval to 7500 km, and if the car participates in competitions, oil needs to be changed at least in 5000 km.

Excellent way to avoid dangerous conditions for motor conditions - install additional sensors. Owners are usually limited to the temperature and oil pressure testimony to know when it's time to move from the track and give the car to cool.

Turbomotors during repair are often tuning: put a wrought piston group, an oil pump of increased productivity, increase the block of cylinders, etc. - Who is what is much.

Often the owners simultaneously squeeze all juices from the motors, establishing, for example, a turbine with more high pressure- such aggregates do not live for a long time, because buying tuned cars should be treated with caution.

The regular turbocharger is reliable. Under the observance of a pair simple rules He will survive the engine. Reduced replacement interval motor oil It will help to avoid clogging of the turbine cooling tubes. Enjoy the compressor on the engine running before driving it after an active ride. More efficiently do not idlingAnd on the go, dropping gas a couple of kilometers to the house, - so oil and antifreeze are better circulated through the turbine.

Separate history - GRM drive on EJ motors. The belt is cautiously laid 105,000 km even on modified engines, but it is better to be reinforced and change it early, because in 99% of cases, the breakage of the pistons with the valves. At the same time, all rollers with tensioners change. To reinsure, servicemen recommend updating the seals of the crankshaft and distributional shafts. They do not always live up to 200,000 km, and any interference with the GDM drive is very laborious and expensive. Leaks are fraught with a belt crossing with known consequences. Cooling pump is more reliable. It is changed together with the second replacement of the belt. Up to 300,000 km, she lives extremely rarely. Its backlash is not so terrible as flowing, which again can lead to the belt jump.

After restyling, chain units of the FB series came to replace the EJ atmospheric engines (with indexes 20 and 25). They are built on the basis of predecessors and possess the same power characteristics.

Chain problems are rare. According to servicemen, its resource is at least 200,000 km. The main thing is to monitor the level and condition of the oil. It depends on the lubricant chain and the performance of the tensioner. The runs on these motors are not as great as on EJ, but there are no reasons for their longevity. The only and infrequent disease is to flow oils from under the chain cover when running 50,000-60,000 km - healing sealant. "Overheating" FB25, which happen to EJ25, until fixed, although the motors are structurally similar.

Resource drive belt On any motor depends only on the operating conditions of the machine. Lower planka - 50,000 km. The smaller the dirt and water falls on the belt at the off-road storm, the longer he lives.

The condition of the cooling radiator of any motor does not really affect its well-being. But the sink is carried out or two per year, depending on the operation mode. Engine and air conditioning radiators are very close to each other, and this "sandwich" is completely disassembled.

On runs over 100,000 km, the lamp often lights up Check Engine. An error 0420 is issued: "Low efficiency of the neutralizer". This usually happens when the node is heated when the car rides a long time along the high speed high speed. The reason is bad fuel. Often, the error is simply erased, the owner changes the gas station - and the problem goes out. But sometimes fuel time to kill the catalytic converter.

Treatment depends on the wishes of the owner. The neutralizer is either changed to a new one or cut out and make a deck (at atmospheric motors) for a second (controlling) oxygen sensor. This is an approach to the installation site of the second oxygen sensor, which displays it from the stream of exhaust gases. Upgrade engines have a sensor by flashing "brains". If the faulty neutralizer is not clogged and not melted inside, it does not touch and limit to the deceptive.

CONSTANT

The Subaru has a all-wheel drive transmission diagram depends on the type of gearbox and engine. On Forester in a pair with five-speed mechanics inter-seed differential With the blocking viscous coupling. Alas, the coupling does not like long-term driving in extreme conditions and is prone to overheating. With such an operation, it usually dies after 100,000 km. Knot dear, but the replacement procedure is simple.

The third Forester has a lower row in the transmission. It is only available on two-liter machines with a manual box. None of the servicemen is remembered with problems with such distributors.

Fundamental differences between each mechanical boxesComing with different power engines, no. Nodes are reliable. The main thing is regularly (every 50,000 km) change the oil. The average clutch resource is 130,000-150,000 km. After 150,000-200,000 km, the gear seal seal seal begins to leak.

On machines with hydromechanical automata, it is the original inter-system differential and the device of its lock. In a pair with upgraded motors, they are more intricate. But in both cases there are no serious complaints about their reliability.

With power up to 230 hp engines. Four-stage automatic combines, and with a 263-strong - five-speed. Both boxes are from one family and pretty greater, but reliable. Servicemen advise changing the oil every 30,000 km. On the first "pit stop", we conduct a normal (partial) replacement, on the second - complete, with the connection of a special installation. This is justified. After all, off-road and high-speed cruising for Forester - the usual thing. But when complying with the regulations, these automata digested and a higher torque of reasonably modified motors.

Due to the late replacement of oil in the machine, the machines appear and delays when switching gear. WINDOWS Wear products in a component of solenoids. If you ignore the alarms, "Error" will light up soon on the instrument panel, and then - overheating of the friction and hydrotransformer.

In winter, due to intensive accelerations immediately after a cold start, there are leaks between the case of the differential and the inlet shaft of the box. Then the case is in the inconspicuous conquered seals.

The oil change interval in gearboxes is also small - 50,000 km. Sometimes on the mileage for 100 thousand, the oil overheating indication in the rear gearbox lights up. The reason is the contaminated contact in the connector of its sensor, located outside. He often cleans. You do not need to change the sensor - just clean the contacts or repair the wiring.

The only frankly weakness In the transmission - the suspended bearing of the cardan shaft. It begins to buzz highly at speeds above 50 km / h after 30,000-40,000 km. Dealer services often change the Cardan assembly (about 70,000 rubles), and non-fakes are a single bearing for 700 rubles.

Cardana crossbars are 150,000 km. Strong backlash in them causes tangible vibrations.

Selns and anthers in transmission are durable. In the risk area, only the elements close to exhaust system. Faster all (after 100,000 km) from heating the inner boot of the front right drive is destroyed.

On modifications with all motor EJ motors, a hydraulic power steering is installed. Reiki flow rarely, and not earlier than 100,000 km. Usually sweats the upper gland at the velocity outlet. Reciktil Reiki includes other seals, so it is completely disassembled and updated

Even less frequent hoses under expansion Bachkom. And on the pump. It is important to periodically monitor the oil level and change it according to the regulations - every 50,000 km. When the oil is replaced, do not allow the long-term operation of the hydraulic power pump "to dry" - the knot dies quickly, and costs about 20,000 rubles.

Electric steering amplifier is assigned versions with FB motors. The stuffs in the rail occur after 30,000 km. Formally, this is not considered a malfunction, and the Reiki warranty is not changed to everyone, although the manufacturer tries to meet customers (SPARU, 2014, No. 9, SUBARU specialists are responsible). Neocalities found a medicine. The knock arises in the articulation of the gear of the steering shaft and the rush mechanism. The rail disassemble and change the factory support bushing of this pair to non-original, homemade. The gap decreases, and the knock leaves.

Consumables in the suspension - sleeves and stabilizer racks. They are enough for 30,000-40,000 km. The weakest - the rear silent blocks of the front levers, which live at least 100 thousand. They can be purchased separately, like many other rubberometallic hinges. Exception - Silent blocks of the rear top forged lever: The assembly assembly is worth 16,000 rubles.

The wheel bearings are also stably experienced 100 thousand mileage. The price assembly with the hubs is quite democratic - 5000-6000 rubles.

Forester suspension feature - rear self-absorbable shock absorbers, providing permanent clearance, regardless of the loading of the car and smaller rolls in turns. But they quickly die on the dead roads after several serious breakdowns on a loaded car. Fortunately, there is an alternative to original details, assessed by 25,000 rubles. The paging system is built into the rod and the shock absorber case. Therefore, for 17 thousand set a set of two conventional shock absorbers with the corresponding springs. In the daily driving modes, the difference in the behavior of the car will not be striking.

The front shock absorbers go to 100,000-150,000 km. Support bearings are updated with the second shock absorbers.

Many owners sent to Forester from other Japanese crossovers of this class complain of the insufficient sensitivity of the brakes. Later get used to, but some are still modified brake system. Throw money to the wind - you do not get rid of this feature.

The only weak point of lighting - thin glass of the front fog. Often they are cracking due to a sharp difference of temperatures - for example, when water enters the headlights when driving on puddles or at the storming of high snowdrifts.

Electrician salon is simple and reliable. Overnight calls only the bearing of the heater fan shaft. If on a cold car in the winter it immediately turn on the stove on maximum speedBearing will threaten to 150,000 km. And it is possible to replace it only assembled with the fan.

On the mileage of more than 100,000 km sometimes refuses the headlight corrector sensor located on the rear suspension lever by which the system determines the position of the body. Sweep hinges in its moving connections. At the same time, the system error lights up and the corrector lowers the headlights to the lower position.

Outcome

With the reliability of Forester Third Generation, everything is in order. When complying with the regulations, even modifications with turbo engines do not deliver hassle. There will be no maintenance and repair of the machine of difficulties.

Vladimir Lopatin,

Subaru Forester S-Edition (2011, 2.5 l, 263 hp, 90 000 km)

Before buying a modification of the S-Edition, I spent six years old Forester of the previous generation (SG). And I do not share the position of the subarists, the funny third "Forik". Yes, in the usual performance, it is more flushing than the predecessor, but much more comfortable. And the charged version is better in all parameters.

Initially, I did not plan to tuning the car, then delayed. To 47,000 km, when the inserts touched in the engine, he gave out about 340 hp, and now - 400 forces and 600 N · m. My Forester is equipped with an injection of water metal, wrought pistons are installed, a regular turbine is replaced by more productive. The machine was finalized under the high torque, enhancing the pressure in its oil system. The set for further tuning is waiting for the box. But while she does not deliver trouble, like nodes running.

Some of the suspension elements (shock absorbers, springs and stabilizer) are replaced by more sporty. I note that I do not have complaints about the reliability of full-time details. I plan to continue improvements, but the process inhibits jumped prices for import spare parts.

Car maintenance: Replacing the oil in the motor every 5000 km, in the box and gearboxes - every 30,000 km.

Forester SH is liquid independently from the configuration. The most demanded 2.5-liter machines. Moreover, one half of the buyers chooses mechanics for bad roads, and the other is an automatic machine for the city.

Machines are idle in the expectation of the buyer on average for two or three weeks. Even specific turboufts are quickly leaving, which is explained by a limited offer on the market. In this segment, Forester has no competitors who have similar driving characteristics and competitive price.

The third generation Forester debut took place on the car's homeland, at the Tokyo Motor Show in December 2007. In the domestic market, the model was offered in several modifications, from which the most popular were X, XS and XT, each of which implies its additional differences in equipment. For modifications 2.0XS and 2.0XT, a luxury version with black leather Salon Black Leather Selection is available. And on the basis of modification 2.0x produced equipment Sport Limited, distinguished by the color performance of the body (white or black pearl, steel silver metallic) and the instrument sports panel.

As the most "charged", it is possible to highlight the configurations of the S-Edition and TS, equipped with a 263 hp turbue 2.5-liter engine. Such an indicator as "specific power", for these two complete sets is about 5.86 kg / hp, it is very good for the crossover, but in general, compared with the previous generation, this parameter has become slightly modest - Taki due to the increase in dimensions a small increase in weight was inevitable. The rest of the configuration was equipped with two-liter motors with a capacity of 148 and 230 hp (with turbocharging). At the same time, the usual 2.0-liter "atmospherices" should be recognized as the most reliable and unpretentious in operation. Automatic box Transmissions - 4- or 5-speed SportShift, with the possibility of manual switching. On cars S. mechanical transmission A 5-speed gearbox is used, and on separate modifications, which has already become a classic "mechanic" of the Dual-Range type (with a lower transmission).

Changes and suspension has undergone: compared with the previous generation, more "soft" springs and shock absorbers are used, which increased the smoothness of the stroke and its comfort when driving on the irregularities, it was possible to maintain the necessary reactions to the steering wheel - due to the changed design of the lower front levers and the stabilizer. The VDC system monitors course stability Car, not allowing breaking into a skid. The four-wheel drive is permanent, however, justice, we note that Forester on the "mechanics" has a more honest four-wheel drive than on the "machine", where in the case of slipping, the torque is transmitted to the rear wheels using a multi-disc clutch, one of the disadvantages of which is a tendency to overheating In complex modes.

The updated model has also developed a new framework of rigidity. They form a powerful frame, which includes power elements that provide increased vehicle strength and more efficient blowing energy devastation directed from any side of the body. Many fans of the model probably upset the refusal of cramless doors, but it was done only for the sake of increasing passive security, the indicators of which will bring Subaru Forester on one of the leading places.

If, as a "passing", the Subaru Forester on the "Automat" does not differ much from other competitors ("defective" four-wheel drive with a clutch), then the classic Forester on the mechanics and with "Redeyakaya" has, perhaps, the best permeability in the class and with a more complete The basis confirms its right to be called "Forester". In this case, the developers' motto is fully justified - this is really the best combination for an active lifestyle.
