@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. They get toasted faster than shiku of reke marie can whisper... reo natoka mafema

@XSK true true. @zillion in fact i got one from a good friend based in shimo la tewa road (near Mater hosi).

cost me 4.5k inclusive labour but had to spend there from 11 to 5pm.

can you imagine that the window motors in all the other doors of my car cant work on the driver side......very convinientd'oh!

Thanx guys thou. the infor might help another impress her owner



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.


Shimo la tewa road near Mater Hospital. if you haven't got one email me on ydalrellik at yahoo dot com and i can give the mobile no. of the mechanic

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!
