‘98 SF Forester. Hi there, I’m getting water leaking into the passenger footwell when I run my aircon for a long time on hot days (Australia). I can’t find any pics or diagrams so I don’t really know if anything’s missing from the back of the unit below/behind the glovebox. There seems to be a...

2015 Forester. I turn the AC on and it blows cold for awhile, then starts to blow warm air. After awhile it starts with cold again. then After awhile it starts to go warm again. It's not a climate control type of AC. Any idea what might be the problem?

Hi all, I've been trying to diagnose an issue with my 2006 Cross Sport's cooling system. The radiator fans aren't coming on at all: not when a/c is enabled, not when sitting in traffic getting very hot (temp gauge rising above norm). I connected the green test connectors and watch the...

I am so heated right now!!! NO PUN INTENDED. I bought a certified pre-owned 2020 Forester Sport on Tuesday from Rye Subaru. It only had 7000 miles and was a loaner car. Today is Thursday and the a/c completely stopped working. What's worse, I already had an appointment with service tomorrow...

First, hello, my first post. Today my 2014 Forester is blowing nothing but hot outside air. The compressor is less than one year old after being replaced and the system fully charged in July 2020. Also less than 4000 miles ago. The attached video should tell the whole story. Any thoughts or...

I recently had our 2015 Forester down in Joshua Tree where the temps were over 100F. Thank goodness for air conditioning! One day we got in the car, turned it on and there was a new and very noticeable groaning or low pitch whine that only happened when the A/C was on. The A/C continued to blow...

Hi all, Started hearing a buzzing/vibrating noise right around the AC compressors connection to the accessory drive belt. There's also a noticeable "hiss" sound when you're inside the car and start the AC. I still get cold air, but am concerned about it - trying to run AC less, but it's 100...

2017 Forester Premium, 50k miles. My a/c was blowing 80 degree air at the top ouletlet so I took it to the dealer after reading about condensor leaks on this forum. Sure enough the condensor had a leak on the seam and the dealer confirmed its a common problem they see. The condensor was...

Hello! Our 2011 Forester has never impressed me with its AC performance but after 190K miles, the AC is useless at idle. I have added a little refrigerant to get the low side pressure where it should be but that only helps when the engine is revved above 1000 rpm. It works near perfectly at...

Does anyone have any experience detailing and removing a very deeply rooted smoke. My grandma willed me her 2006 Forester and she chain smoked, I am going to get a fabric shampooer for the seats and carpets. I have reservations to use it on the ceiling liner but probably will still. I'm more...

Low pressure switch is preventing the compressor from cycling on my '04 Forester XS. Book says to pull connector from pressure switch and short to get compressor to cycle so I can recharge the system. Switch connector has 4 pins. Which two do I short to get the compressor to cycle?

I tried searching the forums but can't find anything. Anyone else have the air vent tab break off on them? Im sure the dealership will sell me a whole new unit for $$$, I found a complete vent replacement on eBay, but I just need a new tab. The only thing I have been able to find on a google...
