newbie with secondary air pump problem....!!

[gregor]

Hi all ,

I am a newbie to the site but am on my third Scooby . Previously had a 2.0 Legacy, then a Forester s turbo , now moved to a 2007 Forester 2.0x . I have a problem with  engine management light and flashing cruise control light . Done a bit of googling and believe it to be the common air pump / stuck air valves.Has anyone fixed this issue by either blanking off both valves or just blanking off pump ?? Where can the blanking plates be purchased...?  and is it a d.i.y fix if your handy . What has to be done to get rid of the warning light..?  Seeing as it does nt affect the performance of the car and I cant afford  such a costly repair I would be happy if I could go down the blanking off route as I love my Scooby ...Any help much appreciated

                      thanks in advance

Hello & welcome, is far as I'm aware they can be blanked off but as I'm in an older model, the eml would need to be cleared by either remapping or try and get a copy of the free subaru select monitor and a cheap cable for eBay

Hi, I have the same problem. There is a fix as per the attached document. I haven't done it yet but if I find an Ecutek agent willing to do the remap for less than £100 I reckon it would be worth it. Good Luck.ecutek.pdf

Unless you have an ecutek map on your car in the 1st place you'll have to buy the licence which is £250 ish off the bat plus mapper time & dyno I wouldn't expect to see much change from £500 [emoji22]
