Subaru Forester 2008 Problems

YOU can bet all cars give falsely optimistic higher speedo readings -- not because the companies are trying to rip owners off, but to be sure they don't give falsely low readings. If they did there would be a huge outcry from owners booked for speeding through no fault of their own.

There are a number of possible explanations for the poor seal that results in the noise. It could be that the car has been in a crash at some point and the door hasn't been adjusted properly when repaired; it could be that the door has dropped as happens on many cars over time, or it could be a faulty seal. Take the car to a body repair shop experienced in working on Subaru's and have it assessed.

IT'S best to phone the suppliers to find a system for your car, and then ask for their recommended installer, someone with experience with the system on the same model as yours. The Australian LPG Warehouse has a kit available for the 2002-2007 Forester.

THE error falls within the tolerance allowed under the law and that's what Subaru is telling your brother, and their advice is to do what most people do and that's adjust to the reality of the car's speedo reading. You would think with the technology we have today that carmakers could develop a more accurate speedo.
