Hi My driver windows switch started to stick really bad and I want to replace if needed but I cannot find any guides on google on how to do this on 2018/2019 models, can someone point me in the right direction on how to remove it or where I can get a service guide book? I did find a Service Bulliten in USA for these switches breaking and did find a few posts on reddit for the Impreza range having the same issue. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10188179-0001.pdf Many Thanks GG

Could try these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165399910713

I got these ones https://subaru-parts.co.uk/product/front-rubber-mats-subaru-xv-2018my/

Never knew this app existed

Once you find a good garage/car dealer, you generally always go back. I am curious, what model wiper blades did they give you? (Presuming that were in a box 😁)

All sorted :) Does seems like I got less white smoke from the exhaust (just water vapor, not coolant etc)

Please watch vidoe of trim here: My long term fuel trim at idle hovers at about -10.9% on average and it goes down when I am driving only - it does not change when I press throttle in neutral - it does not chnage when coasting in neutral - it only changes when I am in motion and press throttle. I watched few videos saying the O2 sensor should switch on/off but mine seems to appear to stay at 0.8v majority the time. Any tips on this issue or is this normal for a Subaru? Or what other sensors should I be looking at? Thanks

Yea, that what mine was showing but still went dead. On my Car Scanner Pro, I've set it up to give me an alert if ECU voltage drops below (ECU voltage, matches that on console) Plus with battery monitor, I can test and see if the OBD scanner is not going into power saving mode.

I've ordered myself a battery monitor, as only cost me £12, as I had nectar points to spend. As I'm curious as to battery health and charging. System does say battery at v14.2. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bluetooth-Battery-Monitor-Car-12V-Battery-Tester-QUICKLYNKS-BM2-BLE4-0-Device-/293882557510?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

Mine booked in 😀

Last night, my car battery was dead and had to be jumped started 2nd time in a year but think new ODB drained battery), so decided to look at how it cost to replace OEM battery.... A few places keep offering the 'Bosch S4 024' battery but that has no Stop/Start (S/S) tech. Kwick-Fit the onl;y that offered S/S battery in the form of 'Bosch S4E40' at price of £195 but also just found same battery from tayna.co.uk for £89.99 (this battery has EFB for S/S) I notice my current states Q-85 and see halfords are selling a 'YBX77005 (Q55/Q85) Yuasa EFB S/S' for £142 I have read on a few USA forums, that the AGM tech way better. Is there a battery that AGM for the XV? Bosch info on AGM vs EFB Any one had to repalce their battery yet?

There a part shortage all over and I am in the same boat

Its been a week since I first got mesage about key fob battery being low and got my second one last. Bought a pack of these batteries and it be the second time I am chagning them

Are you getting them done for free, since they are not the correct ones?

Would that not mean my water level should be dropping but it's never needing topped of?

I am glad and hopefully these will last longer 🙂

Got my sorted today for £290 Pads colour match Subaru logo 😁 Still way cheaper than dealer for one wheel and I got both done.

Glad to hear you got your sorted. Mine ay garage trust and wrong ones come, now that said they order new ones but it's an extra £100, so price went from £150 to £250 for front pads and discs - still pondering if I should do it myself. (Still way cheaper than dealer who no longer doing Subaru. So closet dealer now is 32 miles away).

That's an idea Just had mine MOT and passed but they did warn front pads are getting low. Subaru wanted £450 to replace 1 front left pad and disc (disc limped as well but I am a heavy breaker). Back ones are fine. Might get a few quotes from garage's for parts and service - so if they are the wrong ones, it's there hassle, not mine. MOT ATS for £25 in February 2021

Cheers but no, the 2018 version using different parts to past models unfortunately. A lot of places are presuming it's the same but it's not 🙁

I was wondering if there a Japan web site I can go to for Subaru parts? Maybe I can get parts number of there web site. I tried googling but not had much look.

Ask dealership

I did but they were all wrong but they were great, give a full refund and made a note of issue (but that was last year).

Hi Any recommendations on where to get front brake pads and discs from? I had purchased from eBay and europarts for my 2018 XV but they were the wrong size. Asked dealership for sizes and they refused and would not give Subaru part numbers either.
