Have a Subaru forester 2018 xt, owned from two years old mint condition full Subaru service history with 40k miles. Factory fitted removable tow bar used twice for small trailer - time for a change looking at £19000

Look at the Idoing site - android head unit not sure which one would fit yourshttps://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwizhdqn5oH-AhXqjGgJHTnaAyoYABAMGgJ3Zg&ae=2&ohost=www.google.co.uk&cid=CAESbOD2Lx4eAwnTBe34s5wdN4PGec4JHn9vUeqhy3Q9vT6bI_Qv_nzzHKV-Dhuf3fDWDfcWMf_vgfsENF526yOsf_9MqZfL_9nHTuevLehZWelm1P5lU_bre7Ia_1Qykx3w7Her2XKIZjurfJfutQ&sig=AOD64_2ABjDXfMJTzX3te_f1mOa6W3qcrw&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwjQm9Gn5oH-AhXCUMAKHVWTBMcQwg8oAHoECAYQEw&adurl=

Coming up for tire replacement, any recommendations please. Required for typical English weather but good on snow if needed - car is a 2018 xt

Have a 2018 xt with 28k on clock, just coming up for 4th service and asked dealer about cvt fluid change. Was told lifetime fluid and doesn’t require a change ! Have read on forums it does require changing so am a little confused. The car has 80k or 5 year warranty on running gear so not concerned at moment. Any thoughts or experiences with cvt fluid change would be appreciated

Yes same on my 2018 xt

How do you put it to sleep ? Have a 2018 xt many thanks

Had a 2018 xt for a year now, just suffered dead battery after not using for 11 days ! Was hoping battery was on way out but after reading these threads not so sure

Know what you mean thanks for the info

Very good thought, luckily no iSight just rain sensor and wiper elements. Would be coughing more with calibration reading some threads ! Or if I had isight do you know if it needs calibrating or is that just a money spinner ?

With AXA insurance and to be honest haven’t asked the question ! might give them a ring probably worth asking I suppose

2018 forester xt, small stone created minuscule crack top of screen. By that evening the chip/crack was 300mm long - gutted ! insurance company preferred repairer at £125.00 cost was national windscreen, after a bit of Googling and a visit the replacement screen wouldn’t be genuine and read a lot of issues with subarus ending up with damaged trims and heater elements not working ! have taken the hit and decided to use a Subaru dealer who does use a third party but are recommended for Subaru screens and it will be original replacement at cough, cough £1000

Mainly had manual diesel 4x4 and have driven loads of normal AT cars along with DSG gearbox cars. Don’t feel any gear change obviously as cvt, low revs in I mode but when pushed revs high with continuous speed. Sports mode increased throttle response but same as I mode, sharp simulates 8 gears but still takes some getting used to as nothing like a DSG or auto. Not complaining as it’s fast and smooth just different. Don’t go in sharp mode a lot as it is a bit quick holding gears longer. For an SUV surprises a few at the lights & myself when needed.

Bought a 2018 xt back in February with 18,000 miles, just had its 3rd service 22,000 and first mot at dealer £500. Great car and averaging 30mpg but that is around town, on a trip to France was getting about 37mpg. Not bad for a quick 4x4 estate car and £155 road tax. Very pleased with it at present, cvt seemed strange at first as nothing similar too auto.

Thanks for reply
