May vary with the year, but the EPA ratings are a good guideline to compare with other vehicles. My 2000 Forester with automatic transmission runs between 19 and 26 MPG. Winter and short trips account for the lower number. Yours may be lower still if you have a heavy accelerator foot, exceed speed limits, idle the engine a lot, make very short trips, or do not maintain your vehicle tire pressure or air filter.

28 mpg (that is Imperial gallons) in normal use (manual 2 litre). But on a motorway at 70mph, using the cruise control, about 32-33 mpg. Using the aircon really hurts the consumption, though.

How do you fix small amount of play in steering wheel of my 1998 Subaru Forester?

Take your Forester, as soon as you can, to a qualified service technician. It is not normal to develop play in a steering wheel unless parts, such as tie rod ends, are worn out. This is a dangerous condition and needs immediate attention. --Ken


Is a Subaru Forrester a low maintenance vehicle?

I've had my 2007 Forester since it had 41,000 miles on it. I just rolled over to 100,000 miles, and so far, I've had to replace a headlight, do the normal oil changes & wiper blades, and put brake pads on it. Every one I talked to has loved their Subaru.

I just had my engine rebuilt and it's using excessive gas What used to use a quarter of a tank is now using almost half a tank Is this normal?

No, this is not normal. I don't know what year, make, model or engine you have but something is not right. Complain to your mechanic about the gas consumption.

It sounds like your temperature sender (on top of the engine) is faulty allowing it to earth out, or the wire going to the sender may be touching a earth.


How do you replace the water pump on a 1998 Subaru Forester?

I recently replaced the water pump on my 2000, and they should be the same. The water pump is driven by the timing belt and you replace them both at the same time. Only down side, and it's a BIG down side, is that you have to remove the front engine pulley that is attached with a bolt torqued to 135 foot-pounds. There is a special tool (we made one) necessary to hold this pulley still so that you can loosen the bolt. Normal hand tools that you may have will not do the job. I would recommend taking your Forester to someone who has done the job before. --Ken
