Hi I`m getting the dreaded sticking valve codes for the secondary air pump on my 2008 2.0RE Legacy. I`m thinking of deleting the air pump, fitting the blanking plates etc but am wondering if I need to get the ECU modified to stop the error codes or is there a resistor or similar you can fit? I have found reference to a garage fitting a black box that you connect that fools the ECU into thinking everything's OK, anybody got any experience with that?. I can see posts from people with WRX`s that have had their ECU reflashed but don`t know if its needed on a non turbo EJ204 legacy? If it is does anybody know someone around Oxfordshire / Berkshire that can do it at a reasonable cost? (I`m in Wantage) Any advice greatly appreciated! Cheers Paul

Hi everyone I have a 2008 legacy 2.0RE wagon ej204 motor (I think is an 07 model year) and it's just about to click 60000 miles. I see in the service schedule that it's due to have valve clearance checked now, but I can't find a manual online for my engine - just the earlier 04 engine. Does anybody know what the clearance should be? Also I have been advised that they very rarely need adjusting at this mileage, and most people don't bother until higher mileage. Is this true? Any advice greatly appreciated! Many thanks Paul
