Hey guys and girls haveing problem with blobeye Impreza the engine management light is always on (might not come on on the off chance )but it doesn’t turn off once car is started and have plug it in and it’s comeing up low voltage This has started once I replace old crusty battery with new one that is supposedly right one for car 

Keep your side lights on all the time (they turn off with key out) see if that helps. Alternator voltage sits a bit low with them off for some reason.

So as most of you know some **** hit my scoob almost 3 months ago 😠

If hitting my pride n joy and injuring me and my 2 kids wasn't enough I tried to insure the bug sti yesterday as I need to start running  the freshly built engine in and get it mot'd .......

Apparently because I have a claim outstanding and he hasn't admitted liability yet , for slamming into the side of my car and not checking the lane he was changing into didn't have a car in it .

Even though it blatantly wasn't my fault , I've never had a claim before and have over 20yrs no claims .

I got a quote of nearly £900 😲 what the actual fook is that about ! 

this whole !Removed! storm is starting to really **** me off now , I really hope I don't bump into that shister walking down a dark ally . He's proppa waking the nasty bstard cockney in me that I put to sleep many years ago, cnut 

Did you get this sorted? Similar thing happened to me. Some bird crashed into my last scoob in a car park and tried to flea. She didn't realise that her fog lamp cover fell off and thought she could hide her car ten bays away 😂. Took a year and a half and 3 court appearances later before she was found guilty. I didn't even put in a claim but was dumb enough to tell my insurance company. So my insurance went up and it says to this day on my insurance docs driver hit immobile object.. Wtf🤔 wasnt even in the car I was in the pictures lol

How did the mapping turn out? 

It turned out great mate the car is much more fun to drive now 

Yeah stuart it was chris good to know your a year down the line with no hassels. Its definitely worth it for the price I know that the licenced maps can do a bit more but the opensource map is perfect for my needs. 

I can revive this and say that Dynatune are worth a shout for anyone in the Glasgow/Lanarkshire area. Was an open source live road map and I can say the car feels much better now. No issues with the car whatsoever after map. I will post when the map has been on the car for a while to update long term results.

Gave it a quick jet wash at the garage then set out trying to find somewhere to get some nice pics. Took a wrong turn and ended up back at home again so the drive will have to do 😂. Here she is complete with new black wheels fitted last week. 

Now im trying to decide whether to tint the rear windows and/or debadge the boot... 🤔

 

Looking dapper mate

Hi help needed my subaru has today started shaking and i have loss of power. The shaking happens on start up and also at around 3000 rpm? Any ideas what this could be?

Is the shaking excessive? Could be misfiring or a timing issue possibly. My old bugeye was shaking after I had the timing belt done. Wasnt set up right. 

Had my mechanic fit 3 port boost solinoid and standard recirc valve ready for map on Saturday. Was actually booked in for tomorrow but he had a cancellation and squeezed me in today bonus. 

I dont think its incredibly hard mate if you had a spare pair of hands and a tutorial you could probably do it yourself. Saying that i wouldn't be able to do it myself lol Good luck getting it sorted anyway 👍

Mate theres a subaru dealership in carlise they probably won't be the cheapest but at least they will know what they are doing.. Surely

Well it was a bit of a shock but they did the tests and i saw the results of the compression test and they were in the red :/. It struggled through emissions and that’s all I know . Are you suggesting the garage may have it wrong or?

Even the best mechanics in the world make mistakes but judging from the word around here scoobyclinic seam to be pros. Hope its notto pricey to sort mate good luck

Hello all,

Im thinking about changing the back box on my 2016 face-lift, but dont see many options out there and have a couple of questions:

1) Is it worth changing the exhaust on a diesel? I have just swapped my petrol Forester 2.5 XT for the diesel XV due to hammering out lots of miles, so I dont know much about diesels at all! 

2) Does anyone make specific XV performance (or better sounding) exhausts for the diesel model?

2) If it is worth it, what options from the WRX hatchback line will fit the XV with minimal modification?

Thanks! 

Not sure what exhaust would suit you but if your using it to bang out tonnes of miles do you want it louder? Save the money for tyres or something. Just my opinion however.

Managed to spend a hour or two on the Impreza yesterday, got the front end stripped down to do a bit more in-depth investigation.
Looking like the knocking may have been the tensioner, also found the timing a tooth out

Loud pipes save lives

Nice one mate might just pick one up when i get round to cosmetics, cheers 👍

I don't know what the splitter is on the bug but next time I speak to Gary (last owner) ,I'll ask him if you like? 

 

Yeah if you dont mind mate 👍

yeah i understand the risk, just thought of something else though, i've seen online that the STi's came with 1.3~ bar radicator caps? mine is only a 0.9 bar which could be releasing too much pressure in the coolant system right?

I would rule out your headgasket first but its entirely up to you. Changing a rad cap isnt gonna cost the earth though so why not, im sure subaru put a 1.3 bar cap for a reason. Hope it works for you mate 🤞

Went out for an hours drive today, both fans are working, car temp fluctuates inbetween the two lines in the middle and the odd time it will go over the line just a smidge into hot, doesn't max out though now.

I know the thought of this sucks but if i were you i wouldn't drive it until you get it inspected for Headgasket. Last thing you want is regular high temperatures it will cause a chain reaction and for a week or so off the road you dont need that headache.
