ongster 1st Gear March 5, 2019 Share March 5, 2019 they've updated the article since posting so sorry for the false alarm. for the models affected, apparently it may affect how the engine starts. "The models affected are the 2014-2016 Model Year (MY) Forester, 2011-2014MY WRX (4-Door), 2008-2016MY Impreza and 2012-2017MY Subaru XV." ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pancgom 1st Gear March 5, 2019 Share March 5, 2019 (edited) anyone receive the recall notice yet? i don't know how long they will take to recall and fix the lights. also not sure whether mine is affected or not. Motor Image is kind of a slow starter on these things. So be pro-active and send them a chaser. You never know given the communication mode you might end up missing it. March school holidays coming up, get your vehicles done up folks. Don't risk it. We all paid quite good money to get the cars so yeah be safe always.

I assume the clips are quite reasonably priced or the MI workshop may have some spares they can just fix for you. I had mine coming out too MI fixed it along with other small issues that I had. I did pay for the fixes but for the clip itself I don’t think I got charged. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sopskysalat 4th Gear July 29, 2019 Share July 29, 2019 I saw sgcarmart indicates there is promo now. 2.0 eyesight for 87k. What other car can offer such good value? MI should do more advertising to raise awareness of its car and safety features. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sopskysalat 4th Gear July 29, 2019 Share July 29, 2019 During the time i drove the 1.6, it seldom go below 10km/l. The best I gotten from one tank is 520km on one tank which gives me 12.X km/l. Many do not like the CVT, but I must say, without it, Subaru car FC will be bad. It is this CVT that is helping all subaru cars to achieve decent fc in this era, thought it is still behind many other makes. 1.6 is using MPI engine that is old tech but reliable. Anybody on the 1.6l getting poor fuel consumption of 8-9km/l? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
