Did you feel the air conditioning lost some cooling ? I always suspect that hot air from engine compartment find its way into the cabin, when whacking along the way.
Or you whacked with air conditioning Off ?

I can't speak for the SJ forester, but for my previous SG5 and current Legacy, when the water temp exceeds a certain level, the ECU will auto cut off the aircon cooler function so the AC feels warmer.

eh tbh i didnt really notice the air con.. i was busy monitoring the temp see if it will go further up but seems like 105 is the peak temp.
Both are far from their speed limits so actually is a matter of whether the Vezel wants to chase and continue his freaky antics or not mah...I bet that Vezel didn't see that coming... LOL
Anyway even the FNA's sport mode is more than sufficient to distance the Vezel...

Wow...Latest Price list.
Wow ...it will mean if $50k should be $110kNo.
My XT C0E was $75k. I paid $135k for it.

Actually why do we need to monitor engine oil?Engine oil temp. That is the symbol used for engine oil.
I thought knowing the coolant temp will be better.
That is why I upgraded solar films (max heat rejection for moonroof),added groovy shades also.Or maybe sun too powerful make cabin feel slightly warmer??
But, my final verdict is manage the drive to enjoy the comfort.
That I believe is oil temperature.This middle one in the triple gauge.
Is it measuring the coolant temp or engine oil temp?
Or something else?

Yes its normal. FNA driver here.Seems like is normal after i search online. Anyone experience the same?
It shud be the electrical relays that pick up and drop off when deenergized.
My SE says it's normal to hv low batt after 6 days. I think it's appalling.
6 days shouldn't discharge the battery unless it's a design fault or old battery. But nevertheless it's appallingMy XT was parked last Sunday and not used for 6 days. Unable to start. Low batt and I had to use the physical key to open. Jump started and for the rest of the day ok.

My car has no dash cam ... basically bone stock. I reckon old batt or there is some parasitic draw.6 days shouldn't discharge the battery unless it's a design fault or old battery. But nevertheless it's appalling
The stock batt is 48 Ah ... not very high. I've seen BMW batt that is 100 Ah.
Reckon I'll Google see if it's common or I hv a lemon.

This is worrying. Something must be drawing power from the battery when parked. Maybe the keyless entry?�
My previous cars (bare bone without keyless) were able to start even after my 2-3 work trips.
This thread is the main cause why the prices went up. Look at the number of pages!!! Compared that with the OB thread..Just a guess, reading about supply issues in the US....could be production struggling so they making the most out of each unit now especially since local demand seems to be picking up as more are seen on the road.
OB used to be $12-15k more expensive than an FXT.
See la see la.. Talk some more la...
Suspect so. Even the showroom unit was out of juice... But then could be all the "molestation"..This is worrying. Something must be drawing power from the battery when parked. Maybe the keyless entry?

mine was parked for 10 days but had no problems starting when i came back. I had front back incar camera which was running throughtout the 10 days leh.
I just scrapped my 10-yr old FNA.
Have frequently went on holidays of up to 2 weeks 2-3 times a year and just left the car in the car park.
Never once had problems starting the car after the holidays.

Hi, hear a lot Subaru owner mentioned groovy shades.� Can show some photos?� Thx
Iirc, the manual or some instructional video did mention disabling the keyless entry if you'll be away for awhile. The keyless sensor is active... Will always be scanning for keys. Having said that it's low power consumption also..This is worrying. Something must be drawing power from the battery when parked. Maybe the keyless entry?

Hi.
Been lurking this thread for a bit and finally gotten to finish the hundreds of pages.
Booked my FXT 2 weeks back and eagerly waiting the arrival of my new car.

Some info sharing.
Booked at $126800. 8bid NG.
Gotten free tint, car mats, boot step plate, front sunshade and umbrella.

Is there a FB group or whatsapp group going on? Do add me. Hope to see some of the poison our Forester can take. heh
You can find some info and pics online with Google, as it's quite popular over normal shades (comes with a higher price tag as well).Hi, hear a lot Subaru owner mentioned groovy shades. Can show some photos? Thx
Research also on Laser Shades. It's the same as Groovy Shades except that it uses magnets instead of clips. I got the Laser Shades as it's easier to install and there are no clips on the window sills when I remove the shades. Both serve the same purpose, so it's personal choice.

I think about the same. MI carry the Groovy Shades (I think $180) but not the Laser Shades. If buy from MI can offset some of the price with your DUO points.

We managed to get $10 discount off the Laser Shades last month when we had 4 or 5 buyers for a group buy.I think laser shade is $180 for 6 too
What I like about these shades are that they conformed to your window shapes perfectly without any gaps and I'm able to wind down the windows without taking off the shades.
And they're effective in reducing the heat And glare from direct sunlight.

So I did the soundproofing with MI, for 4 doors and roof plus the undercarriage coating. cost $1760. it's some aluminium coated pads, quite heavy, side benefit the doors now got solid heavy thud when closing. results are pretty decent, wind noise cut down quite a bit, could hear the radio at lower volume. road noise also cut down but effect not as pronounced as the wind noise reduction. overall pretty satisfied - i think i could have gotten a better deal in terms of price but i'm not really zai at such stuff so having MI do it is easier for me.

Thanks for your review, and I'm glad to hear you're happy with the results. I take it you did both anti-rust and sound dampening Clasani undercarriage coats.

Ouch... U maybe better off getting a set of quiet tyres. U will benefit from better road handling too. The stock ones are lacking in terms of comfort, grip and noise...

As the Forester battery is wet battery that need to top up distilled water. Can we use those type of distilled water from supermarket instead of those from petrol station?

Anyway, I contacted MI via the website and there was a response. �So this week I bring car in for them to check.

In fairness to MI, they did respond to my email. �Pretty good service I have to say.

My sales guy was more skeptical, said 2 weeks no start still cat start "impossible". I show him the threads here stating so.

So over the next few days I not driving so I will monitor the voltage and see how. Keep u guys posted.

Or can check if there is any kind of trade in for battery? It's a hassle to have to track the battery water level.

Muser, no idea what brand, very sorry. the invoice just says aluminium coated pads. i left my car overnight, i think they can probably rush out in the evening if you sent it in at 7.30am, but for me i wanted them to check other stuff as well and i wasn't in a rush, thought better to get them to do it properly, so i just said i'll pickup the next day. it was done by lunchtime the next day.

Slazen, the doors, roof and undercarriage did cut down the noise quite significantly in my opinion, so i was quite happy with the results. hopefully will improve more with the tyre change. akan datang
Didn't try much S mode. All the way in I mode since collection my FNA averages around 7.3L/100km (13.6km/L) with SPC95 with 50-50 highway-town. If 90% highway for going to work and back for that week its best is 5.4/L (18.5km/L). Trying out SPC98 to see if it benefits FC.
But of course who buys Subaru because of its FC

I was using maintenance free battery all along too. So when it died on me, I just called up AA to have it replaced. Please pardon my ignorance, may I know what do we do to replace the wet battery when it died on us. Have the car towed to and battery replaced at the workshop?

The life span of the maintenance free battery i had used so far always lasted about 1 to 1.5 years. Hope a wet battery can typically last longer.
Additional GPS antennae module. It's still display on the HUIf it's additional, then how is it "integrated"? Hmm.
No kidding? I wasn't aware that our HUs had video input. And how would you switch to this new input unless MI got Subaru's HU vendor, Fuji Ten, to modify the HU firmware? Unless it works with the 6.2-inch HU but not the 7-inch one?Additional GPS antennae module. It's still display on the HU
I wouldn't pay $1.8k for it but if it does display on the HU, that's attractive. And if MI is giving it away now, that's pretty cool.
Oops. Saw a post that current owners can upgrade also. I suppose this means that it is locally installed
Most of the stuff in our car are locally installed.Finally. Motor image cars will have an integrated GPS. Any bros know if it is locally installed?

Yet to secure my COE, ask my sales if I will get it... the answer is no LOL. Only for new booking cause new booking is $12K more.
Totally agree bro... I always prefer Google Maps. Even if I'm going to Malaysia, cos Google Maps has off-line maps and off-line turn by turn navigation. Try it. Works wonderfully. The downloaded area can be quite big. Usually I download the maps for each day at the hotel that I stay in, Malaysia or further afield.I am glad it is not built in and didnt have to pay for it.

If i have offended in anyway please accept my sincere apologizes. I am just stating what i know. ( I could be wrong) It is not nice calling someone a thief on public forum without understanding what is going on before hand.

I am not a chemist but i have never seen any fact that distilled water is not suitable for topping up lead acid battery. Most if not all car owner's manual/ website advise using distilled water unless it is maintenance free type.. Attachment from Forester owner's manual.
�
Deionized water and distilled water are two different things. Deionized water is what is in battery water. There are no ions. So you won't get hard water precipitation. Distilled water still contains ions which foul up your battery and cause premature precipitation of the lead sulfates in a form that cannot be reversibly changed back to a meta-stable soluble form. Then your battery capacity will drop.
Anyway taking deionized water from your school constitutes cheating your school and stealing. The deionizer cartridge is very expensive and the more water that is passed through the faster you have to replace it.

This included a car wash which I have requested them not to do it as I prefer to wash it on my own. Surprisingly, the car wash was quite well done.

It's not right to take it for personal use but Relax bro... how much water can you possibly take unless u drink it or use it to wash car... Car battery is quite small and the water level doesn't drop that fast
Anyway, I hope pp refrain from making personal attacks or calling names...

You will end up in my Profile page.
Find the "Send Message" link just to the right of my "photo" (which is a blank photo at the moment)
Click "Send Message" and a form will be displayed for you to send a private message to me.

(Sorry, don't know how to find your tel number to reach you by phone so can only think of above method. Hope it helps.)

Its not placebo effect. Its confirm there's a difference between 95 and 98. Someone in the chat group dynoed. Seems like ecu works based on fuel grade.S mode bad for 90% expressway and it holds on the rev of 2k rather than <1.5k when at 90km/Hr. But SPC98 has better pick up than SPC95 or perhaps is a placebo effect
Discussed before a few pages earlier...
Distilled water not equal to deionized water... I'm not sure if the drinking type of distilled water meets the battery specifications lar... cos when the manual states distilled water, they could well be referring to battery water that is sold in shops. Usually, the battery manufacturer will specify the ion content of the water used to fill the battery and there is a tolerance range for some of the common ions present in raw water.

Actually $3000 for whole car not expensive leh...
Yes it is FB20. Wonder when subaru will bring in direct injection to this engine to bump up the compression ratio.

BenTong, yep 4 doors, roof, undercarriage coating
�
Jamesgetz, yeah, thats next on the list, thinking of changing at the next tyre change
�
Muser, no idea what brand, very sorry. the invoice just says aluminium coated pads. i left my car overnight, i think they can probably rush out in the evening if you sent it in at 7.30am, but for me i wanted them to check other stuff as well and i wasn't in a rush, thought better to get them to do it properly, so i just said i'll pickup the next day. it was done by lunchtime the next day.
�
Slazen, the doors, roof and undercarriage did cut down the noise quite significantly in my opinion, so i was quite happy with the results. hopefully will improve more with the tyre change. akan datang
Sound proofing - how much?
Undercarriage - how much? include anti rust?
I do not know the answer but let me share something. My sis in law scratched her car 2 sides in carparks. �Went to Mazda thinking that otherwise will void warranty. Quote was $1,800 albeir for 6 panels with some dents.�
�
When I heard that I thought that she was mad. Contacted a painter that I know and it was $800. Looks the same as the original car.
�
Shop around.
�
My previous Estima have similar problem and was quoted $700 by local workshop. �Went to JB and got it done for 700RM and looks like original.

No doubt JB will be cheaper.

In SG, the businesses are working for their landlords.

However, do check the brand of the paint being used. There's German paint and China paint
Would the "coating" help to reduce the heat (from engine compartment) radiant through the front doors hinge areas ? (which some heat ultimately find its way into cabin)Sound proofing - how much?
Undercarriage - how much? include anti rust?
Once you stop the engine, open front door and feel the heat at the hinge area.

i resprayed my airwave in 2011 at $800
That's an interesting qn. So can spray on the door and hinges to reduce heat transmission from engine?Would the "coating" help to reduce the heat (from engine compartment) radiant through the front doors hinge areas ? (which some heat ultimately find its way into cabin)
