Hey guys!
:Banane37: Just got myself a 2001 Forester L with 144k on the clock. As a rule of thumb i always do an oil change, plug change and swap out the spark plugs on used cars like this just to sort of start fresh so to speak. The car had a check engine light, needed tires and a/c. I ended up getting a sealer kit and its been holding the a/c ice cold for the past 4 days so im pretty happy about that. As for the CEL, it ended up being the front 02 sensor and the knock sensor which since i swapped out have turned the CEL off. Also i snagged some nice floor mats and restored the headlights from a hazy yellow to pretty much new.
So now that everything is peachy and i can pass MD inspection, i was wondering if i should take the plunge and just get the timing belt done? At what intervals do they get changed on these cars? Thanks in advance guys! i love this car already!! :icon_biggrin:
