Subaru Repair

The Subaru Forester the SUV-meets-wagon design makes it easy to understand why it’s well-liked. Based on the rally-tested platform of the Subaru Impreza, the Subaru Forester is a tough, hard-charging vehicle with the added benefit of all-wheel drive, a spacious interior, and family-friendly features. However, like its Outback cousin, the Subaru Forester has been known to experience problems with the head gasket, especially in earlier models. Troubles with the catalytic converter have also been noted in Subaru Foresters. Fortunately, Creech Import Repair shop technicians can tackle these repairs head-on and get your Subaru Forester back in top form.

After replacing the battery, the cruise light flashes has a low idle and engine will stall out. Check engine light comes on, sets a low idle speed code P0506.

It’s no secret that Subaru’s are great vehicles off-road and in snow conditions because of their all-wheel-drive set up and extra ground clearance. Many models are equipped with a standard transmission or “manual” which uses a clutch set up to disengage the engine torque. Over time the clutch disc material will wear down, much as a brake pad does. Once the clutch disc wears to a point, the engine torque will begin to slip because the clutch no longer has the grip or clamping power to do the job.

Here at Creech Import we routinely install new clutches on Subaru models such as Forester, Outback, Impreza, Crosstrek, WRX, WRXSTI Legacy, Baha. Also sometimes we see clutch bearing failure before the clutch has reached the end of it’s use. The release bearing or pilot bearing over time can wear causing abnormal noises, or in extreme cases come apart.

Machining or replacing the flywheel while replacing the clutch is essential to assuring the clutch disc mating surfaces are equal. We also inspect the clutch hydraulics for leaks prior to installing a new clutch. If you own a Subaru and are in need of clutch repair or Subaru clutch replacement, contact Creech Import today!
