Deener Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Hi all, I just picked up my first 'new gen' Soob and it's a 98 Forrester. I have only ever owned and worked on ea82's so I am wondering what sort of special tools, if any, that I should be looking for? I gather that I'll need an obd ii scanner, but are there any 'must haves' that I should be aware of that are specific to the new Gens? I may have to do the hg's/check the heads first as it comes from a person who had overheated it. So ill probably re seal it while the engine is out...so I'm wondering if there is anything I should pick up that I might not already have.

Durania Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 If you have an android based phone, I suggest you pick up one of these and get the Torque app. http://www.amazon.com/BAFX-Products-Bluetooth-diagnostics-compatible/dp/B005NLQAHS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1349279242&sr=8-1&keywords=obd+ii+bluetooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deener Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 Excellent, thanks a bunch. I saw those online and wasn't sure if they were worthwhile or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durania Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Excellent, thanks a bunch. I saw those online and wasn't sure if they were worthwhile or not. I have one and when my check engine light in my outback came on I was able to pull the code going down the road. I grew tired of Advance arguing with me that my 95 Outback was not OBDII. Told them I was not going to waste my time nor theirs if I wasn't right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
