Hey! I own a 2003 Forester with around 155,000 miles on it. While I was driving it back home after buying it from it's previous owner i noticed the check engine light come on. I figured that since it a really old car the light was bound to come on and shook it off. A couple days later while...

Hello, I am having a bit of a problem with my '01 Forester L. It seemingly randomly overheats. Generally it happens after I've driven for a while and I slow down or idle, but sometimes happens at highways speeds as well. If I let the car cool for 15-20 minutes, it remains stable for quite a...

Hey guys, I have a 2003 X 5spd and I like driving in the mountains a fair bit. No matter how I drive, I end up getting quite hot during long hill climbs. I've tried everything from crawling up in 1st gear to just sending it. This past weekend after replacing my head gaskets (part of the original...

Hi, first post. I hope it’s not a repeater but I’ve searched the forum a bit and can’t find an answer. So basically my Forester will start overheating if after a long drive (~100miles) i then start to find myself in stop and go traffic. There’s no problem on the freeway during the drive or even...
