I just got my first subaru crosstrek ever. Im really surprised theres hardly any videos on KZbin on how to fix things on it. Please do more how to videos for crosstreks.

I'm a mechanic hones old Subarus where good, the new models they are bad, engine always have mechanical problems, I won't buy a Subaru that's my personal opinion after inspection of over hundreds of this vehicles

Had subarus since 1985.Have a 2020 Forester made the weirdest noise thr first 6 months I had it.SOA never heard it before .Tech at dealer said it was trans.Been driving it 4 65000 miles no more noise .If you want to see a short video let me know>

Sure, send me the link, if you have up on youtube.

I just got my XV back supposedly after having the Valve spring recall done, yet all the bolts are in exactly the same position as before it left. Do you think it is possible Subaru dealership lied about fixing the recall as the engine is 10 years old with 107K miles on it?

[@JoseMendez-p3l]

Hello. I have a 2016 Subaru XV. I intend to take out the engine to install one that I just bought. ¿could you say that measurement of standard, millimetric, dice keys use? In addition to the measurements of the extensions for tire guns. Thank you for illustrating me, I feel confident that I can do it.

Did you have to remove the axles or drain the transmission fluid? Having a hell of a time trying to remove the bottom 4 bolts on my 2014 xv 5 speed.

[@thesubieguy1014]

No you shouldn't, I used some swivel head extension. amzn.to/3OnMuof This is the link to Amazon for the tool, hope it helps

[@markharveyii4573]

Are there any differences between the automatic and manual transmissions when removing the engine? I.e any more or less steps ?

[@thesubieguy1014]

For the auto trans you have to remove the torque converter bolts, there are none on the manual trans, everything else would be similar

[@Align700nitro]

If I remember correctly, you have to unhook the throw out bearing pin, otherwise the trans and engine won't seperate.

[@thesubieguy1014]

@Align700nitro yes for the early 5 speed wrx and the sti, there is a pin that holds the release bearing in place

[@juanoviol2977]

How did you replace the last 2 bolts? The bottom one? Which tool and method did you use?

[@PfeifferFishing]

Whatre the major issues with these engines ? Head gaskets and oil consumption

[@thesubieguy1014]

Oil consumption are the main issues with the chain motors, but maintenance is the key to any longevity of a engine. The older belt engines had the head gasket issues.

[@juanoviol2977]

How you do the split between engine and transmission? Because there’s 4 bolts you should remove ..??? I’m in this process now. I have a 2015 Impreza 2.0l

[@thesubieguy1014]

Underneath the throttle body, there is a small access hole, covered with a rubber cover. Remove the cover and u will then have to rotate the crank by hand with a 22mm or 19mm socket and wrench, depending on motor. You will see the flywheel bolts u are referring to. Some people remove the throttle body, some don't. So do it the way you feel comfortable. Some newer models have 6 bolts, older ones have 4. They should be 12mm bolts.

[@juanoviol2977]

@@thesubieguy1014 how the bolt are connected with? There’s nuts in there so I should use 2 wrench? 1 for hood the nut and 1 for unscrew the bolt? I’m talking underneath

[@juanoviol2977]

1 for hold I mean

@@thesubieguy1014 I really appreciate your help and your further answer.

Thanks Chang I will follow this and I hope to get it done in 30 minutes

[@thesubieguy1014]

Thanks for watching my video. Let me know how it goes

[@JASONGOGUEN79]

You have no idea how much i appreciate this video. Thank you

[@garyrodriguezjr8064]

Good evening. How long did it take you to remove this engine?

[@topofthegreen]

A big reason to avoid Subaru is oil consumption.

[@seankellogg6154]

What was the subaru book time to remove engine?

[@ALVARADOx805]

Would this be the same for a 5speed? We got everything disconnected and the engine and transmission won't budge there is barely any space between them

[@thesubieguy1014]

Sorry for the late reply, did you jack up the transmission so the engine mount is up pass the front subframe?

[@nowayjose20]

What was the purpose of removing the throttle body?

[@thesubieguy1014]

No purpose just preference.

[@egork519]

how long did that take you real time?

[@thesubieguy1014]

Real time without any issues and being fully mentally there, roughly 45mins

[@anhpham8199]

????

[@Kev-----]

SO WHAT WENT WRONG. I was thinking about getting a Subaru Not to sure now.

[@thesubieguy1014]

It was in for a short block replacement.

[@thesubieguy1014]

i mean, you cant allow one video determine the reliability of a whole brand?
