#2009 subaru forester forum manual
Have i been miss informed that these manual clutches are quite weak too ? I may have talked myself out of the 2.0 already as i would prefer the Auto box I know there are fors and against manual /auto but starting on a snowy hill if have to stop must be an advantage with auto rather than having to slip the clutch. So not too frightened of it but would be a shame to ruin a good low mileage engine with LPG conversion. I did have a Rav4 mk 1 once and converted that with a Prinns system which worked fine for the next 30k miles or so before i sold it. I know these engines have soft valve seats as with most Jap engines apparently. Anyone done high mileage on a 2,5xt with LPG conversion. I would most likely get it LPG converted over here as slightly cheaper and dont have that much time in UK to get it sorted. Maybe nothing but a little bit concerned it could be something else involved. The owner said the Cruise not working but no lights up. The vehicle has had the SLS replaced with something else so thats a bonus. Or should i just wait to the valves get stuck ? then have it done ?

I don't know how many independent Subaru specialist are around where i live or how good they are if any. If i go for the 2.5 xt, I have made enquiries and have quotes for deleting it off the ECU before i drive it back home. Would this struggle getting a 1700kg caravan up the hill ? Do these engines also have the secondary air pump and valves ? If they don't it could be a decider. I have a VW T5 to tow but wanted to save the clutch on it.I understand the 2.0 is rated at only 1500kg for towing. I have a heavy caravan that i would like to pull up the track (in the summer months obviously). The thing that attracts me apart from the low mileage and its condition is the low ratio facility. Yesterday a very low mileage 2006 2.0 x caught my eye. They go for a lot more over here and the Pound to Euro dosen't help.So i am coming over this weekend on a cheapy flight to look at a 2007 2.5xt Auto with low mileage and visit friends and family of course. I do get why the system works and much better than other so called AWD suvs. I had a look at few snow and rolling road simulation demos on YOUTUBE. I haven't seen this shape with this engine for sale in uk apart from one Jap import. Its the newer shape than the 2007 ive been looking at but with the 2.5XT engine or whatever they call it here. Not that impressed with this Haldex system.Ī local friend of ours has a 2009 Forester. ESP on or off it dosen't like slippery compressed snow or anything too deep. The Scout is just not doing it all the time with the snow that's been down since early December.

I now live in Cerntral Europe and currently have an Octavia Scout 2008 (uk reg). I am hopefully going to be a Forester owner in the not very distant future.
