A good vacuuming wouldn't hurt either.
-
I'd be thrilled to have you work on my Subaru. Very thorough inspection! 😎👍
-
Weather tech. They make custom made floor mats that won't get stuck under the pedals. They are a bit pricey but they are solid and made in USA. That's what I'm using

Bought a 2013 Crosstrek after watching your videos for a while. You've been a big help in helping me learn about Subarus as I came from a 2003 Camry. Thanks for all you do!
-
A good car in neglectful or careless hands is so sad ! Nice to see you fixing the problems . 👍🏻
-
Mr. Subaru, I want you to work on my two Foresters. I don't trust anyone but you. Thanks 👍

Great , this is my model. Didn't know about "two" thermostats. Over here in Angouleme France, there is no Subaru representation. So its , me , Joe Public, and whatever clear thinking I can gather from Mr Subaru. I notice you breezed into advising a CVT fluid exchange. I agree and have done this. Though I faffed around for a few months before deciding. Can't wait to see if you will get the go ahead to do the work. Thanks again for your incredibly useful channel.

Great Video as always! What interval do you recommend changing the front and rear diff fluid? Some places are saying 30k and others are saying 60k. I have a 2020 Legacy.

Awesome! I loved my '13 2.5i Outback, kinda makes me miss it, no real issues over 98000 miles. Love your professionalism, I sometimes forget people learning how to work on cars may know absolutely nothing, better to educate than to be rude about something like floormats.
-
Can't wait to see you put this car back into factory new condition...
-
Dude I have got to get you to look at my car! You are the best most thorough person
-
Thanks for bringing the floor mat issue at the beginning! Very valuable advice.
-
Love your videos very informative i own a 2018 forester premium 2.5 its going to hit 80k on it. So you mentioned that on your inspection thT you will put a rear bearing inspection for both left & right bearing after a test drive. What did you notice on the test drive to check the bearings did you hear something? Maybe a humming or noise or rumble?
-
Excellent video! I have the exact same car. Now I know just what to watch out for. Thank you so much.
-
Condition of floormats correlates to how much preventative maintenance is done.
-
I absolutely love your videos! Very informative and thorough. Thank you! Would you also happen to have any 2.0 L DOHC EE20 turbo H4 lying around? I have the 2012 Diesel Legacy and finding ANY relevant service/parts/how-to documentation is difficult to say the least. Even Haynes pretty much neglects its existence. 🤭

The factory rubber floor mat in my wrx would get in the way of my clutch pedal, it was obviously designed for a automatic Subaru, I cut out the section where it was interfering, been great ever since
-
looking forward to see process on this one, great videos.
-
Great inspection. Totally competent master mechanic.
-
Now that you mentioned the cooling system, I have to say that the coolant bypass tube should be inspected now and then. Mine burst a few days ago due to rust on my 2015 Forester. I never expected Subaru to be using a steel tube leading from the water pump under the engine to the heater core hoses. The outside of the tube is coated only in paint which doesn't hold up to the road salt in this part of the country.
