Hi all,

A very gracious forum member (who shall remain nameless unless he wants to pipe up!) has provided me with a downloadable PDF doc with clickable links to a LARGE number of Forester (USDM and international) service manuals, as well as a lot of other Subarus.

The doc is attached to this post.

Please let me know if it works for you!

PS. Dear Subaru/FHI, if this post or any information contained in the attachment or links breaches copyright and the like, please advise and I will remove the link.

regards,
Pete

G'day Pete & Members,

There is another link below to a JDMFSM resource, some files are in Russian and some are in English, I just tried the 16MY OM Forester_RUS.pdf and it is the Owners Handbook NOT a FSM and it is in Russian, hence the Forester_RU.

Proceed at your own risk and Good Luck.

Update: Added this link - http://www.cardiagn.com/category/subaru-repair-service-manuals/ it covers a large range of Subaru year & models, XV included.

Any idea where i might find a workshop manual for a MY13 2.5i Forester ?

I think this might be for USA Forester's, have a look anyway and see if it is of any help to you.

P.S. For anybody else looking for Factory Service Manuals, the above site covers a large range of Subaru year & models, XV included.

Norton on my laptop goes haywire when I click on the jdmfsm website link!

False Positive by any chance?
I use Eset NOD32 v9.0.408.0 and it has no issues with the site.
