it was one of those rare cases where id say: easier done than said even with the window stuck on up. all done in 20 minutes. in the name of science, opened the old motor, all damage was due to water ingression, god knows how it got there

well, assembly arrived.... watched the video, was a bit of a cringing experience, who uses a power mini impact to tighten bolts that hold the glasss?.... Anyway, it does help preparing for the job tomorrow my challenge is going to be the non working motor, means i cant lower the window to get to the glass retaining nuts.... Any ideas on how to make the mech go down without the motor working?

gee, just saw now "74 items sold"! so yes, looks like a recurring problem for many...

well, tore it down today, tried to feed 12V directly to the motor plug dead at least found one at decent price for europe https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254525521821

when i was poorer i made my own with a piece of thick wall pipe, some drifts done on a lathe and the biggest threaded rod i could find, think it was a M14 or M18. it wasnt fun, a bit sketchy too, but it did the job, Where there's a will, there's a way

Ok, tnxs for the insights!

interesting, so essentially motor gets "tired" and best to replace the whole thing? to a motorcyclist wrench like me it looks like the mechanism just needs TLC, but might be wrong

Realize now i havent been here in a long while... you can blame the reliability of my two foresters... well, the electric driver window of my 2005 is really struggling going up and down, need to "help" the window go in both directions Before i tackle this, I tried to do a search for relevant posts, got all sorts of results BUT the ones i need 😶 Did try to lubricate a bit the glass itself to see if its just guide friction, but no, it hardly helped So before tearing into the door, whats the most likely culprit? your inputs are welcome

here in italy they were called "GL" spec, mine was exactly same level of spec, electric windows, all other buttons seem to there, just one empty switch space. my old one was a 92, this one is a 93, both have the high roof bulge, makes for a very airy feeling inside, specially for someone who's 6'4" like me, wish it had cruise control but never seen it in really old Legs round here.

Yes, im in milan, and car is just 40 miles from home.... only 2500$ .... must resist, must resist....

After two Legs, a 92 and a 95, i moved on to a Forester 4 years ago, bought also one for my GF... But every now and then i check to see if a nice old Leg is around and gosh, shouldnt have open the site! this came up for sale, one owner, 80K miles.... on top,it's exactly same color as my first Leg, 18 years ago.... even the price is good.... I know it's dorky but how to resist?

Indeed, it's not an assembly, but can get all the dry tubes looks like i was simply looking in the wrong area.... found http://opposedforces.com/parts/forester/en_s11/type_1/intake_and_supply_system_turbocharger/intake_manifold/illustration_5/ 18 years old is rather new in my book , certainly compared to my 1989 Vitara....

Hei folks, While doing some periodic maintenance and servicing, noted that the two rubber tubes coming up form th ePCV assembly are totally stiff and dry, would like to replace them red dots in pic well.... went to opposedforces but just can find the part number for it! closest i got was in the PCV diagram, but it has numbers for the two smaller pipes, not the assembly in the middle that i need! any idea where to find the pat number? Car is a european X2.0 2004 forester with EJ20 tnxs!

yes, i know OEM is Denso, thats why it sucks that mine failed in two years. no coolant in exhaust, car is not consuming any... need a new one anyway, ngk seems more affordable, might give it a try

Well, after replacing my upstream Lambda sensor with an OEM quality Denso DOX-0307, just two years/20K miles ago, It is kaput again. It’s been in a 2005 2.0 euro forester before jumping to buy another Denso, was wondering if there are better alternatives? A cross reference check gives it as a replacement for 22641AA140,22641AA230,22641AA280, So far the only one I found is this https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Print-Lambda-Sensor-ADS77008/dp/B00B8YMD34 if anyone has a better idea, I'd love to hear. Thanks in advance TG
