Common Subaru Air Conditioning Problems

June 11, 2020by admin in Blog, Uncategorized tagged , ,

A wave of heat hits you as you open the door of your Subaru. “No problem” you think, and turn on the air conditioning. Alas! Nothing happens. “What went wrong?” you think. We’ll tell you what!

Subaru air vents

Your Subaru’s air conditioning has a few main components. The main ones to know are the A/C compressor, A/C condenser, and the hoses. Typically on a Subaru we don’t have to service any of the other parts of the system.

There isn’t any cold air coming from the vents, what’s going on?
Possibility one: low/no refrigerant.
When a customer tells us they are having issues with their air conditioning, we first check to see that there is refrigerant in the system. Subarus’ lose between 3 to 5 percent of the R134a type refrigerant in the system every year. If you haven’t recharged your air conditioning in a few years, you may not have enough refrigerant to cool your Subaru.

Possibility two: the A/C is leaking
Air conditioning refrigerant on a Subaru typically leaks from a couple of different places. The A/C is either leaking from a bad O-Ring that sits where the hoses connect to other parts of the A/C system, or the condenser itself has been damaged. Bad O-Rings can be trickier to find, but usually a condenser can be eliminated quickly because the refrigerant will leak very visibly from the condenser if it has damage damage. If we’re dealing with bad O-Rings, we look for it using a special type of refrigerant with dye in it, and trace it from there.

Possibility three: the A/C compressor has failed
Subaru air compressors usually fail in one of two ways. Either the electronic clutch that engages the compressor has failed, or the bearings inside the compressor have failed. causing the pulley to make loud noises when turning, or to lock up. We replace the entire A/C compressor when either of the two symptoms occur.

Air conditioning is an essential feature to maintain on your beloved Subaru. In the winter, the defrost function makes it safer to drive, and in the summer your air conditioning keeps you cool and comfortable. Servicing the air conditioning system isn’t a major repair, but it should be done by a mechanic as the refrigerant can be dangerous. Using the right belt for your Subaru’s air conditioning is important too, as the older Subarus use an individual belt that runs off the engine, and the newer Subarus use a serpentine belt that runs all of your engine accessories. Whatever year your Subaru is, it should be running like ice!

Subaru SI-Drive

June 4, 2020by admin in Blog, Uncategorized tagged ,

Some Subarus are equipped with additional driver controls on automatic models that allow you to control the driving experience called SI-Drive. If you’ve ever wondered what the different modes mean, we’ll outline them below.

If you have an SI-Drive driving mode selector, it usually won’t be engaged until you choose a mode. That means the Subaru will stay in a default mode that equalizes power and fuel economy.

Intelligent Mode
If you push the knob, you’ll engage the [I] Intelligent mode. In this setting, your Subaru will change your drive settings to maximize fuel economy. It does this by opening the throttle more gradually and shifting the car more smoothly to deliver more efficient driving and reduce your Subaru’s emissions. The team here at Soobie Surgeons prefers this mode for the majority of the team, because it gives you the most comfortable ride and the only hurry we’re in is to get your car back to you!

Sport Mode
In sport mode, the throttle responds more swiftly than in intelligent mode, but still keeps the throttle and transmission settings mellow to allow for a mix of power and mileage. Sport mode is ideal for daily driving, as it allows for good highway driving and cruising down thoroughfares.

Sport Sharp (#) Mode
Pocket rocket? No, just sport sharp mode. Sport sharp allows your Subaru’s throttle to be the most responsive it can be. Between the throttle and quick shifting of the transmission, sport sharp mode gives you the most aggressive power of the three modes. Your Subaru will stay in its lower gears for a longer amount of time before shifting, so you’ll be zooming in no time. This mode is the best when you’re in the mood for a joyride, or you’re looking to accelerate quickly onto the highway.

Here we bring you the latest in news, education, and fun facts that all Subaru owners need to know
