Up here in the Northeast our cars like to rust. The coolant bypass pipe that runs under the driver side of the engine really likes to rust as this is the second time Ive had to replace it.
Here Ill walk you through how I like to replace it.
Note: the 2012 Forester part is 14050AA991 but has been replaced by 14050AA992 even though the replacement does not indicate compatibility with the 2012 year models.
