Hi All Does anyone know if the drivers seat on the 2009 to 2013 Subaru RX diesel has lumbar support? I know that the Diesel RC does not but I also know that the RX has leather/ electric seats that the RC does not. I have tried the sales leaflet and google but can't find out Does anyone know? Thanks

Hi David I think diesel is the way to go if you want 4x4 . I am still going to get an Impreza Diesel but currently still driving my Fiat Bravo, If it works it does sound like a great solution but I just really wanted to know how the Subaru Impreza tells you when the DPF filter is blocked and as a driver is there something I could do to unblock it (as I can do now with the bravo but NOT the Freelander)

Ha! Just kidding

Thanks very much for your help Jay Just need the impreza now!

HI Jay Where do you buy it? I can't find it for sale on the internet Regards

Hi jay Do you add it everytime? Which one is it?http://www.bgprod.com/products/diesel.html What type of diesel do you put in normally? Stuff like shell nitro or supermarket own? Thanks

Yes the hatchback although the same engine would be used in other Subaru models as I think there is only 1 diesel

Hi All Thinking of getting an Impreza Diesel but currently owning a couple of diesels at the moment I have a few questions on DPF filters and servicing, If anyone could help? I currently own a Freelander 2 and a Fiat Bravo. Both are deisel and both have DPF filters but they both handle things in a different way. The Bravo is the best of the two with the DPF problems but that is the one I would sell to get the Impreza. I do long journeys but have periods of just running about which can cause the DPF to block of which is not a problem if you know what to do to unblock it. The Bravo puts a light on the dashboard warning you that the DPF is blocked, you then put it on the nearest bypass at about 50 to 60 mph for 10 mins and it runs a regen and all is fine for a long time. The Freelander 2 is different in the fact that it will have three regen attempts in secret so to speak and if the third regen attempt fails for some reason the limp home engine light comes on and it's a visit to the dealer to resent things. This is annoying with the Land Rover as if it told you what was going on like the Fiat does you could take it for a longer run to sort things out before the dealer has to get involved. This only happens once ish a year as the long journeys stop any of this from happening but it does happen if my work changes to where I live. My question is what happens on the Impreza Diesel when the DPF gets blocked? is it like the Bravo or the Freelander 2?? Do any of you have any experience of this happening? Cheers Brid

cheers guys . I will put some questions together and head over to the Impreza section

Hi All Not an owner yet but looking at an impreza diesel and have loads of questions of which I expect would be easy to answer if anyone has one in the forum. Hoping someone can help maybe? Brid
