Hello Folks. Just thought I'd make my first ever post on a forum to say whilst I love my 2015 Forester diesel CVT, and the main dealer is being very helpful, I am worried. First glow plug incident occurred at 14000 miles with all the accompanying warning lights. The second occurred at 17000 miles. The offending plug and module is being replaced this time. It's still a new car, it is the Euro 6 compliant model, and frankly I am worried about both it's reliability and Subaru's bizarre approach to allowing main dealers to holding spares for what is clearly a known fault. Also the car very occasionally (usually on short drives or up steep hills from a standing start) splutters and loses a bit of power and then seems to 'clear it's throat' and drive normally. I don't know how to describe it but in the old days it would have felt like fuel line blockage/dirty fuel but it clears itself. Any thoughts? The trouble is I actually really like the car and the dealer, otherwise it would be gone already!
