Is this happening to anyone else that the base model fog lamp bezel keeps on falling off? I’m on my fifth replacement and starting to lose my mind.

Bought a 2017 Impreza with just over 100,000mi. Previous owner was using 5w20, but I think it was because there was a valve cover gasket leak, he maybe wanted to slow it down. I’ve replace the gaskets and plugs, now I’m wondering if I should stick with 5w20 or go with 0w20 like the manual says.

Hey everyone, first post here. I recently got a 2019 Subaru Impreza Base and had a question about oil change intervals.

My last oil change was done at Valvoline, and the sticker they put on says to come back at 3,000 miles. I've been getting mixed answers though because some people say full synthetic 0W-20 (API SP) can easily go closer to 5,000 miles.

I believe the Impreza uses 0W-20 full synthetic, but I wanted to ask actual owners what you guys usually do.

Do you normally stick with 3,000 miles, or do you go closer to 5,000? Have you noticed any difference either way?

I included a picture of the oil filter from the last change too. I checked the dipstick and the oil level looks good (oil is showing on both sides and is above the two marks). It doesn't look extremely dark or dirty, but I know that doesn't tell the whole story.

My car is mostly just a commuter. I don't do off-roading, extreme weather driving, or a lot of long road trips. I'm just trying to figure out a good maintenance schedule without changing it way too early or waiting too long.

Thanks!

Changed these plugs right after I bought the vehicle used, also replaced the wires+boots with NGK due to age. Haven't checked tubes with my borescope camera yet. Contacted subaru for vehicle service history, timing belt, water pump and head gaskets were preemptively replaced at 147000km in 2020. Bought her at 187000km, currently sitting at 190000km. Think I need new spark tube seals and valve cover gaskets?

I just picked up my RS yesterday and I love it so far. However, the front speakers go out and come back after 5 seconds or so. If it’s a loose connection great, that should be a minimal issue. But I’m wondering if anyone has had that problem and it turned out to be something different. It’s annoying and I’ll take it in but not happy about hanging around the dealership this early in ownership for a fix.

I am looking for a wiring diagram, or just someone who has some experience with tapping into the rear door speakers for an amp/sub setup in a 2025 Impreza Sport? I figure it's probably the same on all 2024+ Imprezas and Crosstreks. Im thinking of going into the little spine between the driver's side front and back doors. I hear the cables run thru there. Can anyone break this down for me or point me to a post that does so? Because of AI, the answers I'm getting on google are never actually what I'm looking for. I see some similarities between the information, but I want to be 100% sure before I tap into a cable. I have positaps Does anyone know the rear speaker colors for positive and negative? It would help a lot.

Also, I have a multimeter, but haven't really learned how to use it yet, if nobody knows the speaker cable colors, can someone explain how to test it with a multi meter?

seller states “Rockers need to be redone you can lift on the frame as for the knock when it first started it wouldn't start knocking till 3000rpm and go away at 4000 rpm then by the time I got home it would knock on start up get quieter once it warms up and saying that meaning I had to move it around my yard and I don't have the battery in ATM but I think the km is around 330000”

parsed from the listing: “2005 Subaru WRX 5 speed clutch and trans are solid the motor developed a knock and it's been parked since then pretty sure the knock is the timing belt tensioner (a common problem)”

for the non audio viewers, the knocking sounds more like a rattle

thank you in advance!

I always keep it on a low setting.

I have done a lot of this car and I still wanna do more. I still have a lot more plans for it, but I think we’ve came a long way. Second picture is how it looks now.

My recently purchased 2021 Impreza Premium. Couldn't be happier.

I bought a used Subaru for about 2000 back in February . Last month , the car randomly started overheating and smoking . I pulled over to let the car cool for about 30 mins , bought coolant , then got home safely and pour it inside the car .

Now , every time I drive for about 20 mins the car start overheating. And then after while, if come to complete stop the car will fully stop allowing me drive , basically turning off but still on .

So today I got an oil change because I realized I hadn’t got one since I bought the car . But the mechanic who did the oil change is telling the car may be overheating because the coolant needs to be flushed and that I shouldn’t have used the yellow All Vehicles Prestone kind . And he wants me to buy a No Spill Coolant Funnel Kit but it’s about $50 online and would have to pay him for labor .. at the point shouldn’t I just go to a shop and pay them do the flush ?

But my main question is .. why else would it be overheating ?

Hello! So a friend of mine has a 2009 Subaru Impreza that she is hoping to sell after having just bought a new one. It is the 2.5 SOHC model with 140k miles and externally, it's in beautiful condition. She kept up with routine maintenance on it. When she went to buy her new Subaru, she was offered only $500 in trade in, and the dealership told her "It probably has a blown head gasket. This model is notorious for that." I told her I would try to help her sell it at a more reasonable price.

I am a mechanical novice... the biggest repair I've done is a timing belt / water pump replacement on an old Honda Civic, but otherwise pretty routine stuff.

I figured if I am going to sell the car, I'd like to be able to give honest information to a possible buyer, so I purchased a compression tester. Upon removing the spark plugs, I noticed that there was a decent amount of oil at the base of the driver side spark plug wells (2 and 4), and only a minimal amount in the passenger side (1 and 3). No oil on the spark plug threads or electrode.

After getting the engine warmed up, removing the spark plugs, and removing the fuel pump fuse, I got the following readings:

• plug 1: 199.3
• plug 2: 192.4
• plug 3: 191.8
• plug 4: >200

Apparently my compression tester doesn't go beyond 200? I bought an Amazon cheapy.

So my question... what are the possible scenarios with the leaky oil and the pressure readings above? I just want to help with an honest car sale, or maybe if it's not too laborious and advanced, fix whatever problem is going on myself and make my friend a little extra money.

Thank you for any feedback!

Hello fellow Impreza owners.

It looks like some of the window trim has started peeling off my 2018 Impreza (See pics). They are two different trims on the car. I’ve googled “lining” and “trim” but can’t seem to find anything.

Any suggestions on how to fix this? And/or parts to replace?

Thanks in advance

Hey yall, bought my 2019 Impreza used about 3 years ago and it seems they glued the skirt on in one section. I’d like to pop the whole thing off and replace the clips. Any recommendations or links for my model? Any help appreciated!!

out of the 6 speakers in my 2016 impreza hatchback, ONE works. and the screen barely responds to you touching it!!!
i wanna replace all the speakers and get a apple carplay head unit.
ALSO…
does anyone else’s imprezas speakers fluctuate on volume by itself? like mine will randomly get really quiet at full volume and then start BLASTING at medium volume.
please help bcs i kinda like it but also kinda hate it

Small aesthetic upgrade, had my roof rack powder coated black.

When I took it apart I also found of the screw holes were stripped. I drilled them out, tapped them, then I inserted stainless steel helicoil threads and got new black stainless steel screws to put in there.

Happy with the upgrade although the powder coat shop put a couple minor dents in my rack ☹️

trying to figure out what this is used for? or even is?

Is it just another ground spot for another car outlet spot…. Or somethign else I can put there instead?

Please let me know thank you…. not a car guy so my bad if this is a n00b post….

Swapped the Impreza Wheels for some Forester XT wheels … I think it looks a million times better ! Now I need a brake upgrade tired of the dust! lol
