A forged build moves that limit. It also needs running in properly, a correct calibration and oil changes at half the normal interval, and we say that before you buy rather than after. The Forester's FB engines use a timing chain and are dependable, and the EE20 diesel has a known crankshaft issue on early cars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification and fitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: Subaru Forester, chassis code SJ and SK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine: FB20 and FB25 petrol, EE20 diesel, e-Boxer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction dates: 2013 on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuality: Parts Only or Parts and Fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: cross referenced to the factory part number for your VIN or chassis number and confirmed before dispatch, because supersessions and market variations are common and one printed number would be wrong for somebody\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe failure this addresses: head gasket failure, coolant loss and overheating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabour time: about 14 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoding: none required.

Japanese manufacturers change parts by build date and by market, and grey imports add a second layer to that. Send the VIN or chassis number with the order and we confirm the part against the build data before anything is dispatched. For imported cars send the chassis plate, because the UK registration will not tell us enough. We are an independent parts specialist for Japanese cars. We are not Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Subaru or Mitsubishi and are not appointed by any of them; the names are their trademarks and are used here to describe fitment. We stock genuine, OEM and quality aftermarket side by side and every listing says which is which, because the price difference is real and so, sometimes, is the quality difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich version to buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eParts Only is the parts delivered to you or your garage with our fitting notes.
