Detailed Description

Spectra Premium uses controlled engineering and manufacturing processes to produce an A/C evaporator core that aligns with original equipment expectations. This evaporator core is a practical choice for Subaru HVAC repair when the factory unit is leaking, restricted, or no longer cooling efficiently. It is a fitment-based replacement for Subaru Impreza, Subaru WRX, Subaru WRX STI, and Subaru Forester models within the listed years. This part cross-references Four Seasons 64018 and TYC 97249 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Weak or inconsistent cabin cooling
  • Refrigerant leaks from a damaged evaporator core
  • Restricted airflow through the HVAC evaporator assembly
  • Odors or moisture issues tied to a failing evaporator housing component
  • Loss of A/C performance in Subaru Impreza, WRX, WRX STI, or Forester vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Install this evaporator core during HVAC system service after recovering refrigerant and opening the air conditioning system. Inspect related seals, expansion valve components, and the surrounding HVAC case before reassembly. Verify fitment by year, make, and model before installation; this part is listed for 2008-2014 Subaru Impreza, 2012-2014 Subaru WRX, 2013-2014 Subaru WRX STI, and 2009-2013 Subaru Forester.
