uniberp Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 The carfax for VIN JF1SF635XYH731667 shows a DOHC. Is Carfax wrong? "2.5L H4 PFI DOHC 16V" Thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferret Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Not US spec (USDM). All were SOHC. In other parts of the world they had 2.0L DOHC AND Turbo Foresters since 1997. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 The carfax for VIN JF1SF635XYH731667 shows a DOHC. Is Carfax wrong? "2.5L H4 PFI DOHC 16V" Thanx While I am unfamiliar with Forester engine changeovers, many VIN decoders seem confused by Subaru VINs. My insurance company keeps listing my wife's OBW as LL Bean and it is not. I dunno Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferret Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 JF1 - Passenger Vehicle S - Subaru Brand Line F - Wagon 6 - 2500cc AWD 3 - L trim 5 - Passenger vehicle with manual seat belts and SRS X - check digit to insure vin is valid Y - year.....this shows 2000 H - fulltime AWD 4EAT automatic 731667 - build sequence number (serial number) Good way to tell, look under the hood. 1998 was the ONLY US year the Forester came with a DOHC.
