Forester XT question

[David77]

At the rear of the engine cover there is a metal grill insert. What is this for and does it need renewing every so often? Cannot find any mention of it in the owners manual!

Got a pic showing what you mean? what year is the car?

 

is it the grill shown in this?

 

 

 

if so its the intercooler

Thank you for your reply and help. Yes, it is the metal grill shown in your pic. The car is a 2017 model. Does the intercooler need servicing? I cannot find a reference to it in the owners manual.

no, its effectivley just a metal box.
