    Hey everyone. I have been looking to swap my engine and this caught my eye. My friend told me that putting a TDI 1.9L in the forester would be easy but I just wanted to come here for a second opinion. Time and money arent really a problem and me and my buddy can install the new engine ourselves...
  2. EE20 - 2.0L Diesel
    Hi! It's about outback 2009 tbh, but the engine is the point: I put new head gasket after it's blown off. After putting engine back to the room it doesn't start. All obvious causes checked: air bleed, fuses, connectors, rails, hoses, tank filter and sub pump, etc. Pressure on CR read in simple...

    8 days ago my 2014 Subaru Forester XT was low on gas so I filled it up. As is the standard with an XT engine, I filled up with Premium (91) fuel, or so I thought. It turns out that the fuel I received was actually diesel. An important piece to understand is that it wasn't until much later that...
  5. EE20 - 2.0L Diesel
    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...
  6. EE20 - 2.0L Diesel
    My forester, a 2011 with 156k km on the clock whines in neutral when idling after cold start, aswell as whining when driving normally, i dont know about the idling problem, but i think the sound when driving could be something drivetrain related, perhaps a diff or the gearbox? anyone got any...
  7. EE20 - 2.0L Diesel
    I've got a 2013 (MY14) Forester Diesel. Bought it 2nd hand with about 70,000km on it. The mechanic that had been servicing the car before I bought it has definitely made some good money off it! They replaced the DPF, did a turbo soak, and many "diagnostics" about 4 months before I bought it, and...

    hi everyone, I am looking at a 2012 subaru forester with 300k km (186,000 Miles). Can these engines drive this much km ? should I consider such a car or should I expect major problems with it ? its allot of km for 2012 so I guess it was mostly done on the highway ? what your thoughts about...
  9. EE20 - 2.0L Diesel
    Hello, I'm the owner of a Subaru Outback 2.0 turbo diesel. When I bought the car had 93k km and now has almost 115k km. I didn't have any issue, it works good, from my point of view, all the changes I have done were at the Subaru dealer. My question is regarding the engine, which I know that...
  10. EE20 - 2.0L Diesel
    Decided to do another DPF clean, in order to make it worthwhile taking it off, to do some exhaust wrapping. I made a better effort to plug up the holes, to keep the cleaning solution inside. (see pic). So this time it was less of a guessing game and much more straight forward (as I took the...
  11. EE20 - 2.0L Diesel
    Car: subaru forester 2015 turbo diesel History: the car started showing a dpf filter fault, took it to the mechanic and he did a clean. This lasted about 2-3 weeks. It kept happening, We did another couple of cleans and a forced reset. The problem kept returning. Then, not only did the dpf...
  12. EE20 - 2.0L Diesel
    Very curious how others drive this particular beast. The 'upshift suggestion' indicator on the dash is completely useless, way too low. This is my first Diesel and so still getting used to it, a bit concerned about over-revving it but maybe it's unwarranted. I usually shift between 2-3k RPM...
  13. EE20 - 2.0L Diesel
    Hi All, I’ve been searching the internet and forums for an inkling into what could be wrong with my forester for a while now, and come close, but not as close as I thought. It’s a 2008, (58 plate) Forester Diesel SH. the issue seems to be, as your pulling down the motorway etc, in 3rd gear...
  14. EE20 - 2.0L Diesel
    I've owned my 2008 Diesel Outback for some months now, but there are still some things I don't understand. When driving 50-110km/h I sometimes get a high pitch, metallic clicking sound. It sounds like a loose screw, vibrating fast. It lasts for a couple of seconds, sometimes longer. Is this...

    Asking for a friend- Overfilled the Diesel Forester, roughly a liter. Smoked a bit, then after a while (more than a few hours) it went away. Dash lights are now on, but otherwise it seems to run fine. I am wondering if the excess oil found an alternate route out of the engine, and as a result...

    Hi there, I'm new here and looking for some advice. I'm currently eyeing up a 2015 Manual Forester 2.0D-L S4 and I've heard that people have had DPF troubles with short range driving in the diesel. I live in a coastal town north of Sydney so I'm not doing small distance, city driving but I'm...
