My 2001 Impreza STI has been written off after someone pulled out on me on a 60mph road, I have been put through to a supposed specialist for Subarus who have deemed the car to only be worth scrap value, £6430. Does anyone know a better evaluator for cars of this era as this is just blatantly incorrect considering it had only done 68,000 miles and was in perfect condition. I have attached a before and after of the car for reference so I don't look mad

Had a TPMS error flag up on my 2019 XV, diagnostics show that the Offside front sensor needs replacing. Spoke to my not so local dealer and no stock expected in UK till end of December, and priced at just short of £70 per sensor. Has anyone had their sensors replaced with a non Subaru TPMS sensor and did it work fine, if so which ones did you buy? Cheers

Hi, new here so be nice please! I have a 2019 XV - only done 20k. Key fob battery lasted for the first 3 possibly 4 years, but now i'm having to change it every 6 - 8 months as it keeps telling me it isn't detected or I stand there like a lemon shaking my key before it lets me in. There must be such a thing as a receptor within the car - is it possible that's the problem? Can it just be cleaned, if so where is it? Thanks

Hi everyone! I've not long bought my 1st Subaru, an Outback. Loving it so far, no issues to report 🙂

The TPMS sensors have batteries that only last 5 to 6 years and which aren't garage replacable so you have to buy a whole new sensor - a real rip-off. Subaru don't make these sensors, they re-badge Schrader ones and mark them up. Do your own research, but I believe the Schrader 3076 is probably the one used on used on recent Subaru - they are half the price of the 'genuine' Subaru ones. My go to garage says they 90% sure they'll be able to program the one I've bought as a test when I get it serviced at the end of the month - the nearest Subaru dealer want £500 to change all 4 !! BTW if the battery(s) are fine but on the way out, they will still trigger the TPMS warning when the weather is colder than 10C as I've found out with the recent mild weather.

Hello Shirley, I had the same issue with my Impreza ( XV is basically an Impreza with more ground clearance ). Key fob battery replacement every few months. What you need to do is put your fob into sleep mode when you lock the car. That way the car and fob will not be constantly communicating using up both the fob and main car battery. If when you lock your car you hold the lock button down and while keeping it down also press the unlock button twice - two flashes from the key fob red light will confirm the fob is now in sleep mode. To unlock do as usual. Press unlock once for the driver's door or twice for all doors. I hope this helps 🙂
