SOURCE: 2001 subaru forester rear wiper motor replacement

Hi, it is pretty straightfoward (ahem, you know how this can go. depends on whether your wiper arm retaining bolt is frozen and snaps off the shaft or not). First, take a look at your fuse to make sure it is intact. If it is, just gently pop off all of the plastic trim covering the tailgate, and undo screws too as necessary. Then test the connector wires to be sure you are still getting power back there to the motor, I used a $4 test light that I got from AutoZone. Then use a large philips head screwdriver and 10mm socket to remove the whole dang thing.

SOURCE: 2001 subaru forester 225000 kms..how long do they typically last?

Provided the vehicle has been serviced regulary and had good quality oil and filters, theres no reason the car shouldn't get 400,000+ kms. Check its service history, and its oil consumption.

Does the 2001 subaru forester have timing belt or chain

It has a timing belt. There's a Youtube on how to replace the timing belt for a 2002 Subaru Forester, if you're a self do'er. Your 2001 should be similar or exact to it.

2001 subaru forester. overheat problems. changed head gaskets, water pump kit (comes with all pulleys and new belt.

make sure the pump it turning. Also be sure your thermostat is not isntalled upside down. That happens you know. Check the waterlevel on your car. be sure your fan is kicking on as the engine heats up. There should be a temp sensor to make it turn on. I think this model has a heaater bypass too to check on which runs the heater around the engine to let it heat up faster.. might check that too. I would check on the backward thermostat forst though.

Hello, I have a 2001 Subaru Forester and have heard that the timing belt should be replaced ahead of the factory maintenance schedule. The vehicle has 70,000 miles. Should I be concerned? Thanks. Scott

The bad thing about Subarus is the close tolerance used in the engines. If the timing belt goes while your driving, it almost will certainly bend every push rod in the head, or worse, costing you 10 times more for repairs. So your taking a gamble whether or not to follow the specs. If you drive it hard, I would take that advice, if not, you should be ok. But still, its a gamble.

Visually check the belt to see if the piece you found was indeed from the belt. If so you should replace it ASAP If you dont you might end up stuck on the side of the road or worse! The belt drives the power steering pump the alternator the A/C and several other things.

I have a 2001 Subaru Forester. When I turn the A/C on, the cars squeal loudly at idle and at slower speeds. At higher speeds 40 MPH, the squeal stops. The A/C works fine. Additionally, when the temp...

You have a loose belt on the A/C. On most new cars that is one big belt that drives everything on the car. If when you look at the belt on the grooved side, do you see cracks on the grooved part running across (from side to side) on the belt? if so, it is in bad need of a new belt. A new belt should stop the squealing noise. While you are replacing the belt also check the belt tensioner to ensure it is in good working order.
