Subaru FAST Online - Electronic Parts Catalogue EPC US/EU/JDM

DoZZa · 07 November 2010, 13:20

Hello.

During my search for parts, and part numbers, I have found a Russian site that is basically Subaru FAST.

Which is the Subaru Electronic Parts Catalogue (EPC) for those that do not know what Subaru FAST is.

Although it is a Russian site, a lot of the sub menus are in English.

The JDM section is not English, its either Russian or Japanese, I dont have either language pack installed on my computer so I could not tell you what language its in.

However, if you go to the Euro or US section, you can get an idea what's going on in the JDM section.

You can input your VIN.

For example: The VIN GDB035460 will bring up the details of a 2006 Spec C in White (NOT MY CAR!)

If you use your VIN it should come up with your details.

HERE is the EPC

HERE is the EPC Translated into English by Google

NOTE* The Google Translation does not translate the sub menus into English, well for me it did not.

This has been a great help to me. I have found all of the parts I require, and I have also been able to cross reference part numbers between US/EU parts with JDM parts to see if they are the same.

This covers the following Subaru models:

An invaluable tool I am sure you will agree, and I hope it helps you.

Thanks

Are you putting the VIN in correctly?

Dont put the whole VIN in, just the last 8 or 9 characters.

Just done a quick check with VIN codes I have found with Google and it seems to be 50/50 if you get a hit or not.

You can still use it by manually selecting your model specifics.

Yeah, just like this format: GDB###### (eg. GDB035460)

I don't know what it says, but i'm assuming it says "no such record or invalid code" or something like that.

Do i have to choose Japan or Europe etc? Once i click on that, it goes into an error page.

Maybe it only works for cars in Europe?

By the way, i just realised i could add an avatar even though i'm a non paying member.

Try entering the VIN in capital letters only.

It does work, it just seems that some VIN's dont.

Thats a shame.

I am still yet to discover why only some VIN's work.

But as said, it can be used manually.
