Questions & Answers

Can this part be installed on my ?

I can fit it on my 09 Forester (non-turbo). These model years are very similar to one another.

This screw is supposed to go into the block, where?

It is on the block near the oil pan, beneath the driver's side. Located at the top of the screen is a large plug recessed into a hex. It looks like a t45 bit, don't you think? The exhaust is not too hard to drop on these, which is what I did to gain access to mine.

How can I check if this unit is working properly without removing the thermostat?

There is no need to remove all of the plugs. Some are in different places, and some are not. The plug will need to be removed with both a 14mm Allen wrench and a 14mm hex key.

When I press that button, will my fans turn on?

No. Engine heaters like this one are only able to maintain a higher coolant temperature while the engine is not running. On those cold winter mornings, this helps the engine crank over and start easier. It is not a good idea to leave your heater plugged in after starting When the engine heater comes in contact with the heat from combustion and the electrical heat of the zerostart element, it will destroy it completely.

Fitted 2018 Subaru Impreza but not 2018 Forester

3/5

According to the manufacturer, this part didn't fit the Subaru Impreza 2018. As the body protruded too far, it hit the casting on the engine, which made the plug unfit. In general, Zerostart products have always worked for me, so this would have been no exception if it had worked as described for my application.

It was time to replace the cord

5/5

One is in our Subaru and works fine, but we lost the cord. I had to buy the entire unit to replace it. Oh well, I guess now I.

The Subaru Legacy 2 has an easy installation process

5/5

The Subaru Legacy 2 has an easy installation process. It takes about one hour to warm up a 5l engine. Don't forget to grab a heavy-duty binder Set your duty timer for one hour before you start your commute so that you can warm up the engine. There is no need to waste power all night.

I've used this for three years in Alaska, and it works great

5/5

I've used this for three years in Alaska, and it works great. Avoid glycol concentrations in excess of 50% as this can lead to faster failure of the batteries.

I found installing it to be very straight forward

3/5

A few weeks went by without any problems, then it failed. I was completely dead after one month. I tested the continuity of the circuit and it was open (there was no My hope is that I just got a bad one out of a thousand. I found the installation process to be very simple.
