Guide to Replacing Antifreeze Coolant

Model: Subaru Impreza MK 2 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Antifreeze coolant

To carry out this maintenance, ensure that the car's engine is cold. Remember, it is dangerous to open the coolant reservoir cap when the engine is hot.
Start by unscrewing the top cap, then place a container under the outlet hole and allow all the liquid to drain out.
At this point, add the additive; it is recommended to use the original Subaru specific one, and then add the antifreeze coolant in the correct amount, depending on the temperatures experienced in the area where you use the car. If particularly low temperatures are expected, a less diluted coolant should be used to ensure antifreeze functionality.

Unscrew the shock absorber mounting bolts at the wheel hub (detach the brake line clips with a screwdriver). Unscrew the bolts on the side, then remove the shock absorber from its housing (place a support under the bar). Compare the old part with the new one and prepare for installation.
