Subaru

Japan. Fuji Heavy Industries is the company name.

You need to specify which torque settings. As with any vehicle, torque settings are specific to a particular part of the vehicle.
The torque settings for the cylinder head will differ from the settings for the crankshaft bearings.

No, the 1996 Subaru Impreza does not have a cabin air filter. This model was designed before cabin filters became a standard feature in most vehicles. If you're looking to improve air quality inside the car, you may want to consider cleaning or replacing the ventilation system components instead.

Most likely you have a bad sensor in the car. If you know someone with one of the hand-held vehicle computer scanners, this should tell you what the problem is, even if the 'check engine" light doesn't come on.

Note that not all models have cabin air filtration.

With that said, the manual says that the filter is located behind the glove box. This requires you to open the glove compartment, disconnect the damper (the little piston that allows the door to open slowly and not just fall open) and detach the door stops at the back of the compartment. This exposes the cover for the cabin filter, which can then be slid out and the filter cleaned or replaced.

It is located to the right of the ignition coil pack, on top of the motor. It is the black sensor, right behind the alternator, bolted into the intake manifold.

The choice between the Nissan 350Z and Subaru WRX STI largely depends on personal preference and intended use. The 350Z offers a more refined sports car experience with a powerful V6 engine and rear-wheel drive, making it great for driving enthusiasts focusing on performance and handling. In contrast, the WRX STI features all-wheel drive and is better suited for varying weather conditions and rally-style driving, providing a more practical option for everyday use. Ultimately, it comes down to whether you prioritize a pure sports car experience or a versatile performance vehicle.

Look up underneath the dash near the steering wheel - you should see a white-coloured socket with multiple holes in it. This is the OBDII connector.

If you mean do any Subarus have an automatic transmission, then the answer is yes - all models are available with automatic transmissions.

You need an OBDII computer a) to read the reason for the check engine light, and b) to reset the error code if you know what caused the light to come on. If you don't fix the condition that caused the light in the first place, it will probably occur again.

You can drive until the bearings fail, but this risks causing other damage and making the repair more expensive. If you know the bearings are failing and you don't plan on getting rid of the car in the near future, you may as well bite the bullet and get the bearings replaced.

There is only one catalytic converter in the exhaust system.

If you recently had brake work done on the car, the ABS light could come on because the fluid in the brake lines has not been evened out. You need to bleed the lines carefully to make the amount of fluid in each line equal, and this should extinguish the light. If your dealer or mechanic did the brake work, they should also have done the line balancing, so take it back and have them do this - it should not cost you extra, as this should have been included in the cost of the brake job.

Yes, but you should disable the AWD (See owners manual).

Yes, the previous oil consumption problems seem to have been solved. Make sure you stick to the break-in period driving restrictions and you should be alright.

The oil capacity for a 2014 Subaru Forester is approximately 5.1 quarts (4.8 liters) when using a new oil filter. If you're changing the oil without replacing the filter, the capacity is slightly lower, around 4.5 quarts (4.3 liters). Always consult the owner's manual for the most accurate information and specifications.

To disable the kill switch on a Subaru Legacy, you typically need to locate the switch, which is often found near the driver's side under the dashboard or in the ignition area. Ensure the vehicle is in the "OFF" position, then press or toggle the switch to the "OFF" position. If you are unsure or the switch is not easily accessible, refer to your owner's manual for specific instructions or consult a professional mechanic for assistance. Always exercise caution when working with vehicle security systems.

Yes. As originally equipped, all new cars are equipped with a "safety spare," a light-weight spare tire that will get you to the nearest garage or dealership.

It's overheating or you have internal/external leak. If it hasn't overheated, looks for external leaks first. Start there

bad hose, radiator leak, leaking into engine.

In the Kelley Blue Book itself or on the KBB website.

You can open the driver's door and press the "unlock" switch on the armrest. This should unlock all the doors, including the rear hatch. If it doesn't, your solenoid that operates the lock needs to be replaced. For that, see your Subaru dealer.
