Thanks for the vid, I would never buy one either!

Do not watch this video is completely wrong unless you want bloody knuckles

Own a 2018 Impreza, fuel recall, bad head gasket. Car jerks when accelerating

this video feels like 2008

Fact that you bought 1 in the first place means you’re already retarded 😂

You just saved us trying to do this on our '64! Thank you!

if I check fluid with it running its pertty low thats how it was when I started if its not running and hot its full, if its running its low so if i fill it hot and running its a lot fuller than when I started and it has never leaked, I think filling it hot and running might be overfilling it. So is checking it while running the right way to do it?

Oof

we had 2 subarus 93 , 2008 and 2010 i believe old one was bulletproof new ones had problems with engine bearings. my uncle had subaru baja ,first valve broke ,then turbo ,then crankshaft bearing

I have a 2006 Subaru Impreza, bought it with 166 got 207 on it. This particular year did not have the head gasket issues. Great car that I bought for $1,400

STOP BUYING FUCKING 2.5 LITRE ENGINE SUBARU CARS. Everyones knows the head gaskets suck on them

Overrated money pits. Buy a CVT Subaru at your peril.

Subaru got very greedy over the years, the newer they're, the worse they're. The boxer design is dumb, the ej25 was bored from the ej20 casting, super thin cylinders, etc. 🤦 After 2010 things got worse, electric e-brake and no more limited slip differentials non turbo models (that means 2wd one in the front one in the back). The CVTs have very high failure rates and i don't think you can get a manual transmission anymore in any of them. I've owned 96, 98, 03, 05, 08, and last and very least the 2012 6mt outback with open differentials on the front and back. 😐 They used to make me smile when I would pull 4wd trucks out of mud mine went through, but now their biggest selling point is a complete scam.

Thanks man

It’s sad but yes Subarus are overrated garbage. The engines, wheel bearings and over heating cvt transmissions are awful. And dont get me started on the 05-09 Legacy GT turbos and the crappy 5 speed automatics that fail-I owned two of them and did all the maintenance via the dealer- doesn’t matter still failed. Subaru never again.

I own a 2011 Equinox 3.0 liter engine. I was surprised to find a transmission fill cap under the hood, and then a Christmas present: a transmission fill cap with a dipstick attached. Miracles do happen!.

Lots of triggered Subie fanboys, lol

*Promo SM* 🌹

Thank you, was struggling myself your video was very helpful!

Thx for this. Question, how to remove that boot without damaging it? Does it need to be cut?

Would you recommend changing the filter too, or just the fluid? I am at 131k miles. EDIT, never-mind I see your comment that the filter is not serviceable.

THEY DONT MAKE LIKE THEY USED TO, THANK THE LAWMAKERS

I know this is a 3 year old video but thank you! I was getting pissed haha. Worked great for my 66 impala

Compared to my Honda, my Subaru is a PoS. I've had so many issues, and today I still have issue with it. I recommend against buying one, and will never buy one again.

They suk

Sadly very accurate. I owned a 97 Legacy, 2004 Legacy, 2007 Outback, 2008 Outback, 2008 STi, 2014 STi, 2013 BRZ, 2018 BRZ, and a few others. They are great cars to drive. But the longevity of the engines is pathetic. It doesn't matter how much you baby them, you have like a 50% chance of blowing a head gasket by 150k miles.

Fast forward to 2023, and I bought a Forester Wilderness in January, it has 6,000 miles on it, and it has had the check engine light on three times. I also have the rear tailgate randomly opening. Apparently, the head gaskets are fixed, but there is a whole load of new problems. I went from loving to loathing this car in the span of six months.

Totally agree. I bought the 2023 outback wilderness and hated it. I traded it in after 2 months

Transmission dip sticks are a blessing

How many miles have you put on them so far you think? Still good tires? Thanks!!

Can't disagree. Subaru sells to folks that drive under 10,000 miles a year so that the cars can be 7-8 years old before problems pop up. I've commuted 20,000 miles a year for 20 years and Subaru is by far the worst performing vehicle I've had. And that's from a guy that commuted in a 2000 Echo. The Echo is still running and my 2013 Crosstrek has sat in my driveway for 2 years. Valve spring problems, transmission valve body, bearings CV joints, AC compressor, alternator........all stuff that's still original in my other cars at the same mileage were done in under 120,000 miles in a Subaru. I can't believe how many people brag about Subaru. It's gotta be the granola types with a canoe tied to the roof that drive em 10 miles a day to their nearest Whole Foods.

They fix a head gasket issues a long time ago. If you blow a head gasket 130,000 miles I would say that you didn't change your coolant enough. I had the same exact car in blue and sold for $3,000 all I had to do was change the valve cover gaskets and that was at 247,000 miles

I'm with you buddy. It's a effing joke. Stupid douche Subaru. Who designs something like this. I just take the entire bumper off if both sides need to be done. Way easier. I hate this POS

This problem is just with the EJ251, 252; and 253 engines. Since then and with every other engine; they do not have any head gasket issues and the 3.6 and FB engines are pretty much indestructible. The problem came from the graphite single layer head gaskets. They permanently fixed it with the MLS (multi layer steel) gaskets.

When l see a Subaru lm not sure wether to laugh or throw a milk bone out the window..in their commercials there is always a dog driving it..

Do you know what fuse is for that?

I know it's been awhile since you did this video but I have an old '71 Hodaka Ace 100B and just saw the first video of your '+' model. I'm so happy you gave this update, ty. Any chance you recorded the rebuild? I'd like to see that! Maybe you have some race video footage?

Roll the "I've had mine for 21 years and no problems" people

When you changed the fluid was it warm or cold?

They’re garbage

What about the brats? I have 365000 miles and still orignal heak gasket.

Thanks

Me when man buys the car with known widespread issues and then experiences said widespread issue.

Used subarus r all lemons so pick ur lemons n start fixing them ur self!

Your old subie was made in japan. All subaru lineups except for brz, crosstrek, forester are all built in north america. That's why they're unreliable junk

Subaru turbo has a strengthened head gasket ....are a better buy

Yep mine was the same!

If you wanna look for a reliable car, notice what most low income families drive. They cant afford constant maintenance on the drive train. They all drive toyotas and old chevy trucks/suvs.

For yall commenting on 180 to 200k miles as "reliable" i drove an 06 grand caravan for 325k before the transmission died and it was a work vehicle. Yall are grandmas and urban comutters with backstreet milage.

Thank you... For the video you are the only one with a V6 video
