If it's the same as other Foresters there is only one tank under the hood which feeds both front and back washers.
all the washer fluid comes from the same tank
Same place as you fill the front washer fluid. There is only one reservoir.
Assuming that your 2001 is the same as my 2000, the pump is atached at the bottom of the fluid reservoir. It does not need to be primed. --Ken
What is the transmission fluid capacity on a 2001 subaru forester?
The second pump supplies the rear window. Do you hear a pump running when you turn the switch on for the windshield washer?
Yes, it is definitely good to use transmission fluid in your Forester. I highly recommend it and use it in my 2000 with no problems.
For a 2006 Subaru Forester, you should use Subaru's own ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) or an equivalent high-quality fluid that meets the specifications for Subaru's automatic transmissions. Typically, this would be Subaru's ATF-HP or a compatible fluid that meets the JASO 1A standard. Always check your owner's manual for specific recommendations and ensure the fluid is suitable for your transmission type.
put more window washer fluid in....
Doesn't the rear window washer use the same reservoir as the windcreen washers? It does on my 1998 Forester. If I keep the reservoir topped up regularly I am never in want of liquid for washing the rear window. ***I had a 2001 (and now have a 2003) Forester. The front and rear share the same fill tank. The 'pickup' for the rear is set higher so tf the fluid level gets low the rear stops working first.
If the rear window washer isn't squirting, check the fluid container. If there is fluid, the motor may be shot.
For a 2007 Subaru Forester, the recommended transmission fluid is Subaru's own ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) or an equivalent fluid that meets the specifications of Dexron III or Mercon. It's important to use a fluid that is suitable for the Subaru Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) if your model is equipped with one. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific recommendations and guidelines for your vehicle.
