OK. Assuming the heater core isn't clogged, and that the cooling system is properly filled - these cars need burping to get all the air out, there are a couple other options before you go thinking HG. Pressure test and/or leak down test. Subies with HG failure tend to either ooze oil/coolant outside the block/head, or pressurise the coolant but you say you're not getting coolant into the overflow so that's unlikely to my mind. Sniff test of exhaust gases in the coolant isn't a reliable tests I've heard, incidentally.
-
Are there bubbles in the overflow when idling? Was it a Subaru OEM stat you put in? How's the radiator cap and are the fans coming on?
-
OK. Standard OBD code readers generally read engine codes but not necessarily transmission codes. I use Freessm which does TCM codes as well. I assume the tranny is a 4EAT which likely takes when full nearer to 10 litres if it's got a transmission cooler. Assume you're checking levels with engine running in neutral? Maybe someone else with more experience on Foresters can chime in.
-
Firstly there may/should be a code so if you have a code reader that an access TCM that will point to the likely suspect. Secondly, how much fresh tranny fluid have you used in the change thus far? A simple drain and fill only gets a portion of it. Thirdly, I assume the fluid level is OK?
-
I believe the change took effect (higher tax bracket applies) for cars registered after 23 March 2006.

Misfire cylinder 4 help
Greenmamba replied to PhilLUFC's topic in Subaru Engines, Exhausts and modifications
Check if there's oil down that plug tube. Those seals are a source of problems sometimes. -
Plenty of ways. Simplest is using toothpaste or brasso and soft cloth. Halfrauds sell kits too.
-
Welcome!!
-
Check the alignment.
-
If it's an auto, is it fully in neutral? May also be low battery (car).
-
Good to hear job done.
-
Anything to do with phone pairing?
-
Latest thought - could it be a speed warning? Like, going over 70?
-
OK, next try, perhaps seat belt warning? Lane departure (if fitted)? Assume no warning lamps. and no mention of this in the manual (I've little experience with diesels, DPF etc).
-
It's not your dash cam telling you it's memory full is it?
-
Is the starter motor dead?

Sounds like battery problems to me. How old is the battery? Are the battery connections and all grounds nice and clean and tight? -

Greenmamba replied to Daniel Pickering's topic in Member's Subarus For Sale
You'll need a bit more detail to get folks interested, like price for instance. -
Seems a good price for a good looking car. Good luck with the sale. If I didn't have mine, would be seriously interested.
-
Prices,interested in the exhaust?

Nice! Welcome.
-
I think just one.
-
I trust the timing belt hasn't gone something like jump tooth or gone completely. Is it overdue a new belt?
-
Good to hear.
