Every Subaru except the BRZ is symmetrical all-wheel drive with a boxer engine, which means four CV axles, two differentials, and spark plugs that sit inches from the frame rails. Parts differ between the older EJ engines (timing belt) and the newer FB and FA engines (timing chain), so the engine code matters as much as the model.
What’s different about Subaru cooling and AC parts
- On EJ engines the water pump lives behind the timing belt, so it is replaced with the belt; older 2.5s that lose coolant with no visible leak usually have the well-known head gasket seep.
- Outback and Forester radiators are known for cracked plastic tanks; the CVT cooler is built into the radiator, and tow-package Outback and Ascent add an external cooler.
- Forester (2019+) and Ascent use R-1234yf; compressor clutch and relay failures are the typical Subaru AC complaint before the compressor itself.
