- This was done on a 2009 Subaru Forester 2.5 liter non turbo.
This procedure should work on all 2.5 liter motors.

You should drain the radiator from below before taking off the top hoses to keep from making a mess all over the engine. Then you should take the whole assembly out and change over the fans/shrouds/reservoir while it's out of the car. Much easier!
That said, good job pointing out the locations of the fittings and wiring that need to be disconnected!
I changed mine today. Thanks!
I watched your video last week and I was able to replace the radiator with no problems. This was super helpful. Thank you!
In a frantic day trying to learn on the fly how to change a Radiator. Watched this today. It' helped me. Thank you! it seems ok we will see in the morning. Only issue I had was trying to disconnect the wiring. So instead of disconnecting the wiring I was able to wiggle the Radiator in the area it's suppose to go. Saved a bunch of money!!!
Thanks for posting - very helpful.👍
I was having this exact problem!! I am not a mechanic and to be honest, other then changing a flat tire, this is the first thing I've ever done mechanical wise and with this video, I DID IT!! Simply replaced the radiator (and a few clamps that I hate and were old). 2012 with the original radiator in 2022. Not anymore! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! FOLLOWING AND SUBSCRIBING!!
Thank you for watching, and commenting! Happy to hear that this helped you!
@@SergeyPip She broke on me this afternoon about 1pm. Took me a bit because I'm not too strong and never done this before, but here it is a little after 10pm and she's good now! I know it would've been way quicker for someone else, but I took my time and watched this video probably about 100 times. Simple and to the point with clear instructions. I am so grateful!!
Nice video doing this task on my gf"s 1999 Forester this week
I use a small square of cardboard to protect the aluminum fins during installation. I also only use Subaru oem parts. There always seem to be a problem with aftermarket parts.
Good and grammatical video.Thanks.Good luck with everything .
Make your life easier with the system burping and filling; pick up a lisle funnel. Fill it till there's some in the funnel then squeeze the big hose to get bubbles out. Top up a little more and start the car while the funnel is attached. You'll see bubbles go up and it will drink fluid, keep adding a little until the bubbles stop and no more fluid drains into the car.
It comes with a stopper so no mess.
Where exactly do you connect this Lisle Funnel? to the radiator or to the coolant canister attached to the radiator?
@@NickJay-u1q Not sure if you still need the help, but it would go in the hole where you removed the main radiator cap. This is how you “burp” the system and get all the air out. You can use a standard funnel that fits tight in the hole as well, it just makes more of a mess.
This was very helpful. Many thanks for the video!
Hey friend word of advice. It's wise to remove the belt. When coolant gets on a belt it absorb it which will eventually cause the belt to stretch.
very helpful. Thank you so much
Thank you
That clip was a bugger
Hi. How much time should it take if done by a garage ? Thank you. IK
You mentioned you were to be "bleeding everything else" could you possibly share what all that might entail briefly? This is my first time doing this so I'd like to avoid missing anything else if I can! Either way, thank you for the DIY video regardless!!
Hello! Can you please share the time that I said that? I will try to help!
End of the video with the sign off. Said you’d be doing it “off video”

@@aspirinchen1676 I was talking about bleeding the radiator. So pouring in while the engine is running until I have heat, I will do off video.
Do you top off the transmission fluid?
Awsome video, very helpful. can you send me a link where i can get a radiator for 2010 Subaru Forester X premium sport non turbo.
Thank you!
Great video
Not a Turbo. Is there some added difficulty with a turbo?
There shouldn't be any added difficulty with a turbo engine. You may have an additional connector/hose inlet/outlet on the radiator itself, but that should be it.
@@SergeyPip Thanks for noticing my question. Just to be certain, the radiator for a Turbo engine is different than a non-turbo engine ( ie additional hose inlet/outlets?)
@R G the part number for a turbo and a non turbo radiator are different. I am sure they are very similar, though.
When describing a 3/4 wrench , I've never heard some one say "three fourths " . Always "three quarter"....just sounded weird.
