Fellow wazuans.

Ungiigwa igikaya ni nume..(translated)"if u hear it wailing, it has been biten". My wife's subaru impreza 04 window motor driver's side is spoilt and we had to remove the motor and hold the window manualy (aibu ndogo ndogo especially when checkin in in areas where you need to communicate with gatemen).

Anyone know where i can get one (at jan economics). been looking for one with no success.

Very true, I know one ...he is called Kariuki, hangs around Otiende shopping center. Fixed my jammed starter (subaru) ....lost his number though Sad . Failing that go to Subatech, but rest assured you will pay ...Subaru haijui January ama July, once a genuine part breaks your bank breaks.

Where did you get yours from?


I am in a similar predicament and I can confirm that the drivers side motor in most Subarus fails with time. I know at least 3 other gentlemen who are complaining.

And my mech tells me that the problem is water going in to motor.

@accelriskconsult,true true water going to the motor is the main cause. mine burnt out too. on replacing we reopened the kathingy, greased/oiled it proper and sealed it with bitumen to boot! also beware of car washers spraying tha electric power win buttons with mist/water.

I know someone involved in procuring parts for Foton and he swears that he paid 110k for 1 late last year - for original headlights.

However, he informs me that he has found a cheaper source - 54k. He is not sure whether these are original or fake.

If you need one, I can get you his number.

Ngogoyo please let me have the mechs number

Not exactly related to the topic but interesting too on Subarus. Probably why they are slightly more expensive even to maintain. You pay for the Subru power!
