Subaru Forester II generation. SF5 VS SG5

The second generation Subaru Forester appeared in 2002, receiving the model code S11 (SG5 body). In 2005, Forester underwent a restyling, which resulted in slightly modified headlights, bumpers, interior and engine range. In the same year, a sports version of the Forester STI (SG9) appeared, intended exclusively for the Japanese market. The production of the model continued until 2008, until the third generation came to replace it. The car turned out to be very successful, as evidenced by the first places in reliability ratings and the “Car of the Year” titles.

Engines

The engines used on the Subaru Forester are 4-cylinder boxer - naturally aspirated 2.0 liters (EJ20, 125, 140 and 158 hp) and 2.5 liters (EJ25, 156 and 167 hp; only for US and Canadian markets); supercharged - 2.0 l (EJ20, 220 and 240 hp) and 2.5 l (EJ25, 210, 230 and 265). All engines have a timing belt drive with a replacement interval of 100 thousand km. When replacing it, it would not be amiss to change the pump of the liquid cooling system, which fails after a mileage of more than 120 - 150 thousand km.

A signature feature of such motors is tapping when the engine is not yet warmed up. The knocking occurs due to wear of the short piston skirt and appears after a mileage of more than 100 - 150 thousand km. By 200 - 250 thousand km, knocking already accompanies the entire operating cycle of the engine, in which case capital damage cannot be avoided, and the cylinder takes on the shape of an ellipsoid. Increased wear is caused by insufficient lubrication, strong heating of the block and horizontal arrangement of the pistons. Restoring an engine is not cheap - about 80 - 100 thousand rubles.

You need to regularly monitor the oil level in Subaru engines; oil leaks with a mileage of more than 100 thousand km are not uncommon, especially on turbocharged versions. Adding up to 2 liters of oil per 10 thousand km is considered the norm.

Prolonged driving at high speed can lead to overheating of the engine, and as a result, burnout of the cylinder head. The disease occurs with a mileage of more than 150 - 180 thousand km, more often on turbocharged versions. Replacing the gasket will require about 20 - 30 thousand rubles. It's worse if overheating causes the head to deform. Overheating can also be caused by a thermostat sticking over time. Under prolonged load on a turbocharged engine, piston breakage may occur.

Subaru Forester (2005 -2008)

If, when you turn on the heater, a burning smell appears in the cabin, then most likely there is an oil leak from under the valve covers.

Because of design features engine, replacing spark plugs turns into a difficult procedure, so it makes sense to use more durable iridium spark plugs instead of conventional ones, which are operational for no more than 15 - 20 thousand km.

In winter, at twenty-degree frosts, problems arise with starting due to the peculiarities of the ECU program.

With a mileage of more than 100 thousand km, it would be a good idea to replace the fuel filter in the tank (700 - 3 thousand rubles). A worn-out filter greatly reduces throughput, causing dips in traction. Radiators with high mileage burst at the top of the can; replacement will require about 12 - 20 thousand rubles.

Subaru Forester (2003-2005)

Transmission

The engines are paired with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. “Mechanics” are much more reliable than “automatic”. A manual clutch on a naturally aspirated Subaru Forester lasts about 150–180 thousand km; a turbocharged engine significantly reduces its service life to 80–120 thousand km. Replacing the clutch will require about 12 - 15 thousand rubles.

The “Automatic” confidently takes care of at least 130 – 180 thousand km, then kicks and dullness may appear. The reason for this behavior is wear of the clutches or failure of the solenoids. The wear of the clutches is also facilitated by a decrease in the fluid level in the box due to old rubber hoses connecting the automatic transmission to the radiator, which begin to leak over time. Automatic transmissions on cars of 2002 are considered less reliable; later, after modifications, the boxes became more durable.

All Subaru Foresters are all-wheel drive. On a Forester with a manual transmission, the torque distribution between the front and rear axles occurs in a ratio of 50 to 50. There are 2 automatic transmissions: TZ and TV. The first is more reliable and distributes torque in a ratio from 90 to 10 in normal conditions to 60 to 40 when slipping occurs. The TV transmission distributes torque in a ratio of 45 to 55. The transmission going into emergency mode is often caused by burnt-out lamps in the brake lights.

The rear axle gearbox may hum when the mileage exceeds 140 - 180 thousand km, and a little later the oil seals begin to “snive”. Overhauling the gearbox will cost 20–25 thousand rubles.

Subaru Forester (2005-2008)

Chassis

Anti-roll bar bushings last about 60-80 thousand km, stabilizer struts - 90-120 thousand km (600-1500 rubles). Rear wheel bearings rarely last more than 60 - 80 thousand km.

Rear self-leveling shock absorbers end after 60 - 90 thousand km. It is cheaper to replace the analogue with a conventional one with a reinforced spring. In this case, replacing the springs is mandatory, otherwise the rear of the car will sag, since the self-leveling struts took on part of the weight.

The front pads last about 40-60 thousand km, the brake discs - about 50-80 thousand km. Rear drum brakes are unlikely to require replacement before 120 - 150 thousand km. In cold weather on a cold car, problems with the brakes may occur due to freezing of the stop (check) valve in the vacuum hose from the intake manifold. Treating the valve with silicone grease (or WD-40) will correct the situation.

In cold weather, the power steering pump often begins to howl, and often after replacing the fluid it goes silent.

Conclusion

When purchasing a Subaru Forester, be prepared for considerable gasoline consumption; in the combined cycle, an aspirated engine will consume about 13 - 15 liters, and a turbocharged one - about 16 - 17 liters.

The five-door station wagon Subaru Forester SG5/SG9 equipped with all-wheel drive and created on the basis of the Subaru Impreza according to the “Best of the Both” concept (the best in two elements) has absorbed the advantages passenger car and an SUV.

The model under the index SG5/SG9 belongs to the second generation of the “Forester” line, which also has a “charged” version of the Subaru Forester STI (introduced in 2005).

The second generation was produced from 2002 to 2007, after which it was replaced by the third generation (with the index “SH”).

“Forester”, this is how Forester is translated into Russian, is a five-door, five-seater station wagon in body type, which copes well with off-road conditions, and also has excellent dynamic characteristics - therefore it does not get lost on paved roads.

The appearance of the 2nd generation Subaru Forester is very aggressive, but, compared to its predecessor, this aggressiveness, thanks to the smoother lines of the body, has become less pronounced. The front light optics have also changed, thanks to which the front of the Forester SG has become brighter and more expressive.

At the rear, the weak light optics and the clumsy, thick bumper were removed and triangular-type lights were installed. The rear window area has increased significantly. The bumpers of the 2nd generation Forester not only look great, but can also withstand mechanical loads at speeds of up to 10 km/h without significant deformation.
The hood, roof and bumpers of the car are made of aluminum alloy, which made it possible to reduce the weight of the Forester II by 30 kg compared to the previous model.

Subaru Forester II SG has the following parameters:

ground clearance - 190-210 mm;
wheelbase - 2525 mm;
length - 4485 mm;
width - 2735 mm;
height - 1590 mm.

The second generation Forester, thanks to the body shape and enough large area glazing, has excellent visibility.

The lettering on the back door has changed. If the Subaru Forester SF had the inscription “Forester” on the back door, then the 2nd generation already had “Subaru” written on it.

The interior of the second generation Lesnik is distinguished by well-thought-out ergonomics. But at the same time, the interior is somewhat cramped. The trunk volume for a car of this class looks small - only 390 (406) liters, but if you fold the rear seat, the volume increases to 1590 liters, and this is already more than that of competitors.

In some modifications, the back seat is uncomfortable for tall people. The car interior has good sound insulation. The steering wheel is height adjustable only.

Doors without window frames look beautiful. Also, most modifications of this model were equipped with a hatch, which occupied one third of the roof, which made the interior quite light.

We note the presence of lateral support in the front seats, ample opportunities for adjusting the driver's seat, the presence of rigid headrests and three-point seat belts.

The instrument panel is large in size and highly informative. The panel, thanks to its silver color, looks somewhat futuristic and adds laconicism to the interior of the cabin. Two windows display the speedometer and tachometer readings, and the third window connects fuel level and oil temperature sensors.
In the previous model there were four windows: the fuel level and oil temperature sensors were located separately.

Technical specifications."Lesnik" is an all-wheel drive vehicle with independent front and rear suspension.
The front suspension is classic MacPherson, the rear suspension is double wishbone. The suspension is distinguished by its low travel and the absence of hard locks.
The front and rear brakes on the Subaru Forester 2 are disc, the front brakes are ventilated. There is also an anti-lock braking system (ABS) as standard.
Various engines were installed on the crossover, so the data on dynamic characteristics, average fuel consumption, and maximum speed for different modifications differ significantly. There is only one thing in common: the volume of the fuel tank is 60 liters.

The Forester SG was equipped with several main types of gasoline engines, 2 and 2.5 liters:

EJ20 (the engine was often upgraded, power can be from 122 to 158 horses);
EJ25 (the engine for the European, North American and Asian markets was different and had power from 156 to 265 hp).

The car was equipped with both naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines. The car's parameters differed depending on the configuration and installed engine.

The power units were paired with a five-speed manual gearbox or a four-speed automatic; some modifications were equipped with a gearbox with a range multiplier (reduction gear).

The steering is of the rack and pinion type. The car is equipped with power steering.

The curb weight of the 2nd generation Forester ranges from 1360 kg to 1455 kg.

The car was equipped with 15 and 16 inch wheels.

Thanks to a wide selection of car configurations, everyone could choose exactly the “Lesnik” that would suit them. After all, some need to “go to the forest to pick berries and mushrooms, go fishing,” while others need to “rush along the highway and get stuck in traffic jams.” This is the main advantage of the Forester, which has become a cult car for many.

Driveability and performance. Many of the driving characteristics of this car directly depend on the power unit that is installed on it.
Thanks to a unique all-wheel drive system, the Subaru Forester copes well with off-road conditions and has increased cross-country ability. In normal operating modes, the crossover is flexible. But when driving a car in sports mode, the steering wheel is not very informative, the standard brakes are not always enough, but it should be taken into account that this is an SUV, not a Formula 1 car. But in order to realize the “Schumacher talent”, the Subaru Forester STI is perfect, which has more powerful brakes, a power plant and is designed for operation at high speeds.

By the way, a little about the STI - Japanese engineers turned the “Forester” into an athlete, forcing the “jaeger” to run at the speed of a “swift-footed deer” in 2005. The car was produced exclusively for the Japanese market. The development of tuning was carried out by Subaru's subsidiary Technica International. The car was equipped with a turbocharged EJ25 engine with a volume of 2.5 liters and a power of 265 horses. A special feature of the power unit was the installation of I-Active valves (a system that allows you to change the valve timing). The crossover was equipped with a six-speed manual transmission, a self-locking differential and ventilated disc brakes. There were also differences in the interior of the cabin, which was developed by the Recaro studio.

The second Forester from Subaru was released in 2002, and in 2005 it underwent a restalling (the headlights, bumper shapes, interior and engine range changed slightly). The model was produced until 2008. The car turned out to be quite successful, several times it took first place in reliability in various ratings and received the title “Car of the Year”. The body of the second generation Forestar bears the abbreviation SG. The pre-restyling body is “SG5”, the restyled body is “SG6”, and the charged STI version is “SG9”.

Units that were installed on Forester 2: petrol 4-cylinder 2.0 and 2.5 (both naturally aspirated) and turbocharged 2.0 and 2.5 liters. Two-liter Subaru Forester cars were equipped with a series of EJ20 engines, two and a half liters - EJ25.

All engines have a timing belt drive with a replacement schedule of 100,000 km. When replacing the timing belt rollers and belts, it is advisable to also change the pump, since its service life is close to that of a routine timing repair.

A design feature of Forester 2 engines is a slight knocking when cold, which occurs after 100 thousand km. It appears due to a worn piston skirt. After 200 thousand km, knocking will constantly accompany engine operation, which means it’s time to “overhaul” the engine. All this occurs due to poor engine lubrication and frequent strong heating of the cylinder block. If you open the engine, you can see that the cylinders have already taken the shape of an ellipse, and if not all of them, then definitely the fourth one. But on condition good care behind the engine - regular maintenance (every 7500-8000 km) and filling with high-quality oil, this problem can be avoided and you can enjoy the reliability of your car for a long time.

Subaru Forester 2002-2005

Check level motor oil This car needs it all the time. After 100 thousand mileage, very often all second Foresters begin to actively consume oil. Units equipped with a turbine like to do this most of all. If from replacement to replacement you only add a couple of liters of oil to the Forester, then there is no need to rush to the service station - this is the norm for this car.

Long trip with high speed on a turbocharged Forester can lead to engine overheating (as discussed above) and burnout of the cylinder head gasket. Rarely, but still there have been cases of deformation of the cylinder head itself from overheating. This situation may occur after 150 thousand km. Very rarely, this can happen with an atmospheric internal combustion engine. Overheating in a Forester can also be caused by a jammed thermostat. Under prolonged load, a turbocharged Forester engine may break a piston. To avoid overheating during operation, it is recommended to flush the cooling radiator annually and generally monitor the cooling system - coolant level and proper work thermostat.

Salon Subaru Forester 2002-2005

A burning smell in the Forester's interior when the heater is on indicates that oil is leaking from under the valve cover.

Replacing spark plugs in the engine of the second Forester, due to its design features, is a very labor-intensive procedure. It is for this reason that we recommend that you use iridium spark plugs, whose service life is about 100 thousand km, which means they will have to be changed much less frequently.

At twenty-degree frosts, problems were noted when starting the engine, which were caused by the peculiarities of the ECU software. Even in cold weather, the power steering pump may howl. But as soon as you change the fluid, the hum disappears.

If the Forester has traveled more than 100 thousand km, then it makes sense to replace the fuel filter located in the tank. With such a mileage, the old filter becomes very clogged and passes fuel much worse, which cannot but affect the car’s traction. Even at high mileage, radiator leaks were noted in its upper part.

The second Forester was equipped with a five-speed manual transmission and a four-speed automatic. The manual transmission has proven to be much more reliable than the automatic transmission. The clutch with a manual transmission runs reliably for 150 thousand km or more, provided that the engine is naturally aspirated. But the turbine reduces this figure to 90-100 thousand km.

The automatic also does not cause problems for the first 150 thousand, but then it usually starts to kick and become dull. This is all due to worn clutches or failed solenoids. Clutches usually wear out from an insufficient amount of automatic transmission fluid, the level of which drops due to old leaking rubber hoses between the gearbox and its radiator. The most unreliable automatic transmissions are installed on 2002 Foresters; later the manufacturer modified the automatic transmission, which increased its service life.

As you know, all Subaru cars have all-wheel drive. On a Forester with a manual transmission, torque is distributed 50/50 between the axles. There were two types of automatic machines installed on Forester: TV and TZ. The first box is less reliable, distributes torque in a ratio of 45/55. For the second transmission, the distribution goes from 90/10 during normal driving to 60/40 when the wheels are slipping. An interesting point is that burnt out brake light bulbs can put the automatic transmission into emergency mode.

Subaru Forester 2005-2008

The Subaru Forester rear axle gearbox easily costs 150 thousand or more. Then there may be a hum and leakage of its seals. For long and trouble-free service, this unit, like the engine, loves systematic oil changes - once every 20-30 thousand km.

The stabilizer struts will require the first replacement closer to 100 thousand, the bushings will come off at almost 80 thousand. Rear wheel bearings last an average of 70 thousand.

Rear shock absorbers with self-leveling function last 80-90 thousand. When replacing them, it would be more advisable to install conventional shock absorbers and change the springs to reinforced ones. Moreover, it is necessary to change the springs during this procedure in order to avoid sagging of the car.

Front brake pads last an average of 50 thousand km, brake discs - a little more. Rear drum brakes will not bother the owner before 120 thousand km. In cold weather, such a nuisance as the check valve in the vacuum hose may freeze after parking overnight, which will greatly complicate braking of the car. To prevent this from happening, the valve must be treated with silicone grease or a regular “Vedashka”. It's better to do this in advance.

If water gets on the glass of Forester's fog lights during operation, cracks are likely to occur due to temperature changes. Many solved this problem by installing collective farm xenon.

Owners, as a rule, have no complaints about the bodywork and paintwork of the Forester. The only thing is that over time the paint on the door handles may wear off.

On Foresters produced before 2004, there is a problem with the sunroof failure, which occurs due to a broken cable or due to worn out guides. The sunroof may also stop working due to the failure of the electric motor. You should also not forget about caring for the rubber seals - treat these elements with silicone grease. However, it is recommended to take care of the other seals in the same way – door seals, tailgate seals.

The driver's door window may stop rising due to a worn gear.

The inside of the roof can accumulate condensation, which will then appear on the upholstery of the stream. To fix this, you will have to remove the upholstery and glue the roof from the inside. insulating material. After this the problem will disappear.

A whistle from under the hood that appears when you press the gas pedal can be treated by replacing the air conditioning roller.

That's basically all that can be said about this wonderful car, when buying which you should also remember about fuel consumption - 13-15 liters for an atmospheric engine and almost 17 liters for a turbocharged engine in the combined cycle.

A selection of video reviews and test drives Subaru Forester 2002-2008:

Crash test Subaru Forester II SG:

Made in Japan.

Restyling in 2005.

The platform is shared with the Subaru Impreza.

Body

The body paint is durable. The paint is rubbed off only on the door handles. Chrome trim parts become cloudy.

The plastic is very scratchedthe center console, near the audio control buttons on the steering wheel.

After 100 thousand km, the leather braid on the steering wheel wears out.

After 2-3 years, the power windows may squeak. Cleaning the guides will help.

Air whistling at high speeds appears with age due to loose side windows without frames. When the windows are rolled down, the closing of the doors is accompanied by a rattling noise.

Glass cracksfog lights when water gets on the hot glass.

The non-galvanized body does not rust.

Electrics

Denies CD changer ($600) for Kenwood audio system.

A burning airbag malfunction lamp most often indicates a faulty connection in the wiring.under the front seats.

Engine

Boxer engines are more difficult to maintain than in-line and V-twin engines. The tight layout of the engine compartment and side members make it difficult to replace spark plugs and belts.

Short-skirt pistons and a compact crankshaft with very narrow journals are a necessary measure due to the opposed engine layout.

You should buy only original NGK iridium spark plugs ($100), which last 60 thousand km on good fuel.

Failure of the spark plug results in failure of the front oxygen sensor ($200). This happens more often on cars from the USA.

Using low-quality gasoline can lead to fuel pump failure ($220).

The air filter should be changed every 10 thousand km instead of the recommended 20 thousand km, as the air flow sensor may fail ($200).

There are Subaru Foresters converted from right-hand drive to left-hand drive. They often have electrical failures. You can check such a car by VIN

The work of replacing the timing belt is very labor-intensive. The greatest difficulty is presented by engines with four camshafts andvariable valve timing system AVCS (Active Valve Control System) at the intake.

Every 105 thousand km the timing belt, pulley and tensioner should be changed ($300 set). In addition, the seals should be replacedcrankshafts and camshafts, which with a high degree of probability will flow to 120-140 thousand km, which will force you to repeat the operation of replacing the belt.

Atmospheric engines 2.0 are more reliable. Knockpiston skirts noticeable only on a cold engine appear on them at high mileage. A knocking sound on a warm engine indicates a high degree of wear. H 200-250 t. km, the rings and, if necessary, the crankshaft liners should be replaced, which will cost $1000-1300 and will give about another 100 t. km before a major overhaul.Engine overhaul withboring cylinders and grinding crankshaft journalsIt will cost $3,000 and it can’t be done everywhere. But if the engine knocks, you may need to replace the crankshaft ($750).

Turbocharged engines last up to 200 thousand km before overhaul. Aggressive driving can cut this time in half.

Consequences Rotating the liner or breaking the connecting rod will cost from $2,500.

Japanese right-hand drive versions with engine power over 250 hp. They often have a worn-out motor already there and serve no more than 150 thousand km.

American cars were equipped with a naturally aspirated 2.5 engine, which was made from a 2.2 engine by increasing the diameter of the cylinders. Cylinder liners are very thin and have a high tendency to overheat. Overheating leads to deformation of the aluminum cylinder block. Four-cam engine versions are more prone to overheating than twin-cam versions.

Overheating is caused by cracks in plastic radiator tanks ($400), which appear within 2-3 years. There is no point in replacing the radiator, since the new one will leak in exactly the same way. It is worth replacing plastic tanks with aluminum ones ($400).

Engine EJ25 2.5T with power from 210 to 265 hp. is the least reliable.

It is necessary to monitor the oil level. Atmospheric engines consume up to 2 l / 10 t. km, turbocharged engines up to 4 l / 10 t. km.

Oil scraper rings are thin and tend to jam due to overheating. Detonation can destroy the bridges on the pistons between the ring grooves, which leads to a significant increase in oil consumption.

Increase oil consumption due to leaks throughvalve cover gaskets, shaft seals, plastic technological plugs for the cylinder block, oil supply pipes to the turbine, spark plug wells.

Transmission

The Subaru Forester chassis is based on the chassisSubaru Impreza and very reliable. Cardan drive failures are extremely rare.

Sharp starts on slippery surfaces on a Subaru Forester with automatic transmission lead towear of the rear axle drive clutch or incorrect operation of its solenoid. Because of this, when making a sharp start or quickly entering a turn, the connection of the rear wheels occurs with a jerk. Repairs will cost around $2000. Also, due to the increased load, the front main gear may hum.

Automatic transmission from Jatco.

On naturally aspirated versions with manual transmission, the clutch lasts 150 thousand km, on turbocharged versions 100 thousand km. Often the clutch and flywheel have to be replaced. Replacement will cost $1000.

Turbocharged versions with manual transmissions do not have a reduction gear, unlike naturally aspirated ones, and then the clutch wears out faster off-road.

With a turbocharged engine, a manual transmission can wear out up to 300 thousand km.

Every 150 thousand km it is necessary to adjust the valve clearances usingselection of washers. To do this you will need to remove the engine.

The automatic transmission is leaking oilat the junction with the front gearbox.

On a Subaru Forester with a manual transmission, slippage wears outviscous coupling in the center differential and by 150 thousand km the clutch may be completely blocked. The car will begin to shake in turns and the turns themselves will be difficult. Repairs will cost $700-1000.

If the problem is not solved, then extraneous sounds will appear under the rear seat, indicating destructionrear gearbox ($1000 for repairs, $150-200 for a used part). Transfer case gears and bearings may also wear out.

Automatic transmissions with naturally aspirated engines often run for more than 200 thousand km, while a turbo engine can wear out the box by 100-150 thousand km.

Automatic transmission may fail after 120 thousand kmcontrol solenoids ($50 each).

With naturally aspirated 2.0 and manual transmission, cars are equipped with a reduction gear range.

Chassis

Racks and Stabilizer bushings serve 40-60 thousand km.

Shock absorbers serve 100-120 thousand km.

Kayaba rear shock absorbers with automatic control ground clearance serve 70-80 thousand km and cost $650 each. But you can save twice by installing conventional shock absorbers.

After 150 thousand km they wear outsilent blocks of the front and rear suspension arms, which will cost $800.

Control mechanisms

Steering rods and ends run 120-150 thousand km. The rack may tap in extreme positions, and the power steering hoses may sweat. If the upper rack seal leaks, a repair kit will help.

The braking system is different for naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines. The former have drum brakes at the rear, the latter have disc brakes.

The rear brake discs last 120 thousand km, as do the pads in the rear drum brakes.

Front brake discs onSubaru Forester with automatic transmission can wear out by 60-70 thousand km.

To avoid jamming of the calipers, the guides must be lubricated at every service.

Other

Maintenance at 100 t. km s an inspection of brakes and suspension will cost more than $2,000.

The best option in terms of reliability would be a car with a naturally aspirated 2.0 engine and a mileage of 50-60 thousand km. But manage Subaru Forester Turbo is much nicer.

American cars with naturally aspirated 2.5 engines account for about 25% of the market.

Comfort in every detail: wide doorways, door opening angle ~90, electrically adjustable driver's seat in 8 directions, lumbar support adjustment and memory function, large panoramic sunroof, spacious interior.

Spacious trunk with power tailgate (auto-locking)

Expanded cargo space, an easy-to-use power tailgate with automatic locking, and cargo area lighting are just a few of the features that make the new Forester truly versatile and comfortable. Forester is ready to support even the most active lifestyle of its owner, helping you do what you like and filling every trip with new details.

Excellent visibility

Subaru engineers designed the body to minimize blind spots for the driver when looking forward and to the sides: now obstacles, pedestrians and cars on the road will not be a surprise for you while driving - the interior design and side mirrors moved to the doors will allow you to fully control the space around you when driving movement and maneuvering.
