  1. Hi, most folks on here are english and i doutb many will speak italian, I;ve chucked your message into google translate 😄 'Good morning, I have a 2016 XV diesel my and the PCV valve needs to be replaced. The mechanic told me about a plastic valve with a small tube. It makes a brrrtttttt brrttttbrrrr noise and in a year it has consumed 1 and a half liters of Motul 5w30 oil. Subaru didn't write me a letter, but I noticed that during an annual inspection, the brake light switch was replaced without saying anything. You can see that when there is a recall, the Subaru workshop does the job without saying anything to the customer and so the peace of mind continues'
  2. Are they def the correct part number?
  3. have you tried import car parts? Also try searching custom windscreens on google, they typicaly make screens for classic or hand built cars, but being they are made to fit sure they could make you one if you can find a place.

    EML light on

    Does it come back if you reset the code? Secondary air system is a know weak point tbh its gets humidity in it and rusts. Best bet would be to have ti removed and mapped out (dont listen to anyone telling you to just map it out and leave the bits in place, there are butterflys that need removing to prvent them !Removed! up the airflow)
  5. Ive got tein flex z on my hawk, ive found them to be a good balance between performance and ride quality
  6. uh, you prob wanna add a bit more detail of what your looking for, rebuild price? etc etc
  7. You prob will see a very slight improved MPG on a gentle run, but wont be huge so more a case of doing it for a bit more go than better economy.
  8. the vin number will tell you.
  9. You;d need to see/get a pic of the vin plate to get more details.
  10. So the wife has a new papa, a 2006 forester XT, well it was an XT, nwo some of you in the know might have spotted a few things off with it, yes, they are brembo's, ues they are forester sti wheels, yes that is a 6 speed gear knob, yes that is sti seats and yes that is a toucan, can you tell where this going yet? It's had a little work, the basic spec, Forged 2.5 6 speed sti gearbox sc42 turbo syvecs s7 with toucan perrin front mount perrin oil cooler perrin AOS Perrin inlet pipe and air intake brembo sti brake conversion all round gt spec wrapped exhauste headers usual supporting mods, injectors, fuel pump etc and the worst part, she has more power than me 😞 it's 420 on high boost,,,, damit! In all seriousness it's really nice, as happy tootling around as it isgiving it large haha p.s. yes i have threatened to take a 'few bits' off it to go on mine,,, haha
  11. it's age related
  12. theres not alot that you can do without paying silly money im afraid as most improvements are achieve via the turbo, either increasing boost or bigger turbo etc, best bet is perhaps do a few styling mods that you could remove to go on your next one and build up your no claims. Afraid the power of the impreza engine comes from the turbo, so without it there isnt alot worth doing 😞
  13. ah bugger, good excuse for an upgrade though 😄
  14. Need to check the ratios are the same or it will cook the diff's, as fas fitment im not 100% sure
  15. welcome. Looking good, is it modified at all?
  16. puppy!!!!!! haha
  17. no, its effectivley just a metal box.
  18. Got a pic showing what you mean? what year is the car? is it the grill shown in this? if so its the intercooler
  19. Whoops
  20. Might be worth having the block closed deck converted while its apart, just depends on how much you wanna spend. i've got a forged, closed decked 2.5 in mine
  21. imobiliser doing something funky maybe?
  22. Welcome, yeah owners clubs are great for info, you do sometimes get dodgy info so you have to be a little carefull, but they are def a great library 🙂
  23. Highly doubtfull i would have thought. if it was an STI possibly.
  24. cool, glad you got it sorted
  25. for the time they are off i wouldnt worry, unless its gonna be weeks and weeks
