subegrl Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 the cd rom on ebay for forester tech manuals goes up to 2000. I have a 2001. What would be different about my car that wouldn't be on the cd rom? Would it still make sense for me to get the cd rom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Don't know which CD you are referring to.. Most(not all ) of the Ebay CD manuals I have seen have been crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commuter Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I believe it was 2001 when they "freshened" the Forester a bit. Larger taillights, different grill, changed the model features around a bit (eg, I think they changed from rear drums to discs on one of the models... ) Mechanically, I'm not aware of anything that would be significantly different. 2000 and 2001 would both have the Phase II engine. The model didn't change until 2003 with the new platform. I have no idea if the CD is any good or not. Commuter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ma-fia Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 With patience you'll be able to find pretty much anything on eBay: I've even got a FACTORY paper manual for a 2002 car (not Subaru) for 40 bucks! But I've been looking regularly for 4 or 5 months. If 2000's out, 2001 will be available shortly, just wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subie Gal Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 why not just download the pdf files for YOUR car YOURSELF? Why risk some knock-off Ebay Scam? it's only $19.95 http://techinfo.subaru.com Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
