Hello all, I’m needing to get a new engine for my 2010 Forester NA, the junkyard told me that only the engine from a Forester of similar year would work. Is this true? If not, what other Subaru vehicles and year ranges are a simple swap? Thanks everyone!

I've had an issue with my 2010 fxt for about 6 months now that I absolutely can't figure out... My fozzy will have a super bad rpm drop between 1-2k rpm and will drop about 500-800rpm for a second or 2 whether I'm driving or in park and sometimes does it longer and shake really bad. It has...

The original headlight socket melted. Cut the old one out and stripped the end of the wires, twisted them onto the new socket to test, attached new bulb, and headlight does not turn on. I now also hear a high pitched electrical whine coming from the center of the engine when the power is turned...

Hello all! New member and prospective forester buyer here! Right now I’m choosing between a 110k mile 2010 manual 2.5X Premium, a 2011 manual Hyundai Elantra Touring, a 2011 Santa Fe, and a 2010 Accord (all hovering around 130k miles). The dealership that the Forester is from has a standard...

Hi, This is my first post here. I have a 2010 2L Turbo Diesel. I am chasing the torque setting for the automatic drive belt tensioner bolts and also for the drive belt idler. I have been unable to find a repair manual for the vehicle. Even the local dealer says they are not available...

The ac compressor seized up and belt snapped off so I replaced the compressor and belt. Now the blower motor isn’t working. I went to junkyard and found a 2009 that was in immaculate condition and grabbed every relay that had fan/ac/heat in the label and also the blower motor and put them all in...

I have a used 2010 Silver 2.5X Limited Sport Subaru Forester that I now own, and the rearview mirror is totally dark, and the compass barely shows. Where can I get a replacement mirror for it, and secondly, how easy would it be to install myself? The mirror, for reference, is the one with the...

Hi Everyone, I just joined since I'm considering purchasing a 2010 Forester and wanted to ask for your expertise on this particular car as I'm not even remotely mechanically inclined. I'm looking at a 2.5X Limited (with leather and sunroof) with approximately 103k miles, 2 owners, and no...

Howdy there! Firstly I want to say I've been searching multiple channels to find info but no dice! I recently bought a 2010 Forester X with the five-speed manual. Overall the car has been very well maintained and is in quite good condition considering what I paid for it. However, it does have...

Since I need to replace my 2010's radio ( ('09-'13) - 2010 - Only one speaker works and... ) I am thinking of one of those tablet replacements (with radio tuner), has anyone done this? Love it? Hate it? Things you'd do differently? One big question I have is- do you need to put it on a cell...

Hello, I bought a 2010 forester x recently. Just two days ago I started to get a weird noise. My friend quickly said it sounds like the manifold. I did some searching and someone said it is a heat shield. I got under the car and I do not seem to have heat shields. It is a Canadian car so I am...

This is a cover that came off a 2012. I'll include the headrest, if needed. $35 plus shipping from Orlando, FL I used the seat frame on my 2010.

I purchased my Forester in Aug of 2019. This was my second car purchase (my other car is a 2014 Crosstrek). I was so excited to find an XT in my price range and without a ton of miles, that I didn't take the proper steps to make sure I wasn't getting screwed by the dealer : ( Luckily when I...

Hello all! My 2010 Subaru Forester's alternator over charged and that made the battery over charged. To fix everything it will cost just over $1000. My Subaru has been mostly perfect with only a few problems over the years. It has over 125,000 miles on it. I want an honest answer. Is it worth...

Hello, I have a 2010 forester X 5spd, love the car but the tan door panels get dirty too fast due to my profession . I’m looking to throw two black door cards in, F driver and F passenger. I have found a few on eBay from wrecked cars but they’re going for almost $150 each. Do I have any other...
