Sorry to revive an old post... Mines just started doing the petrol fillet cap jamming thing... Brilliant! Anyone want to buy it off me?

I'd be really interested in an update when you have the sensors, thinking about getting some myself. Also be good to see the pics of the finish!

No worries, I'm almost with you. A couple of times since I've got this thing, I've weighed up my options in swapping it in. It's a really hard thing to describe, i do love the car... and it's by far and away the best car I've ever had. I've been a scooby fan for years, but there are just so many compromises on the car, and you really do have to rev the b****ks off it to get the speed and power you expect. Maybe we're expecting too much?

Sure man... It's here: http://www.iwsti.com/forums/2015-sti-discussion/271395-fuel-door-wont-open.html Having a browse through those forums really highlights all the issues that are appearing, there's a thread on there about leaking rear diff too.

Yeah it looks like this is another 'known issue' with this STI... A quick search on the other forums (those who must not be named) shows a lot of owners complaining about this over in the US. The fit & finish build quality on this car leaves something to be desired!

For what it's worth, I had the garage give it a good check over when I took it in... There was no evidence of a leak, what I was seeing was just the waxy protection that's applied to the underside of the car. So it doesn't appear to be happening to all of them. I'm at just over 2k miles now.

For what it's worth Subaru state a GFV of around £13k at 4 years old, assuming 40k miles on the clock. How accurate that will be is anyone's guess but it's a ballpark figure!

Not me mate, I'm down in Hampshire.

Well there's arguments for and against running in, it's not just for the engine. But trivial matters aside, glad you are loving it! You won't see another one on the roads over here, that's for sure!

Hmm, well I suppose I'm glad it's not just me! Don't get me wrong, I knew I wasn't buying German quality and perfection, but I didn't expect this level of rattling. I suppose the good news is that they checked the rear diff for me, and no leak... @majik Where would the heat shield rattling sound be coming from though? Not the doors surely?

I assume you were referring to OP for pics high spirits? Not wanting to hijack this thread but have any other '15 owners had problems with rattling? Its been in the garage today for a couple of rattles but driving home they're still there, and worse, the drivers side rear door has started rattling now!?

Awesome! Hope you're enjoying it, if your area is anything like mine you'll start having conversations with all kinds of people, the car is a real talking point, especially amongst other scooby owners!

Haha, thanks! Yeah, I've basically been saving and saving so put up with a rubbish car for ages! I broke the car in gently (at least that's what I told everyone, really I was breaking the driver in! Haha)

Hahaha, yeah fair enough! I'm probably not best placed to comment on the speed!

Don't laugh... :) 56 plate Fiesta 1.4! Oh yeah....
