Problems with Key Remote for WRX

Has anyone had the same problem before...

 

I had this trouble with my barely 1 week old WRX during the heavy downpour. The remote refused to work and i had to use the key to open the doors. I tried the remote again after running the engine for about 2 minutes and then it worked fine again. I spoke to my SE who said that it appears to be quite common during cold weather.

I dont quite buy his explanation. [:|]

Anyone else has had/ is having a similar problem?

 

P/S: I spotted a black WRX in Tampines last week. Car plate SFP 61XX. Just to let you know that both of your rear lights are not working. Not too sure if you have realised it...

hi,

 

Thanks for the replies all.

 

Another question. MY WRX has only one (right) back fog light. SE says its due to Conti specs. That true?

Any idea whats the rationale? [confused] My SE told me that its the same for VWs.

remote controls operate by radio waves or infrared and has nothing to do wif the weather. besides, our 'cold' weather is abt 26 deg C which is summer in other parts of the world where the rex is sold.

Mine comes with 2 in Australia. Think should be the same specs ... How come your SE so full of crap ?

 

Recommend you go back and bang table with regards to the remote. Cold weather my ars* what kinda excuse is that .... Go and tell him you didn't pay 99k for a faulty remote.

Yup! This is why I hope he is a fellow MCF forummer and when he reads this, he will get his lights checked out. Don't want any harm to come to his wrx and more importantly, don't want his wrx to cause any harm on the road......especially with the wet weather conditions lately.

I tried going to subaru club but it seems that my email is banned..... [:/]

Is it because they don't accept hotmail, lycos and yahoo etc......?

 

So I tried posting over here in MCF and thankfully, I still get responses.

OIC......

 

Initially I thought subaru screwed up by forgetting to put in the bulb for my left fog light....

 

Then I called up my SE and he said that cars with conti specs comes with only 1 rear fog light. However he didn't know exactly why.

I hope it's a one-off situation because the remote worked fine for the rest of the day (as well as the days before that).

 

Will definitely go back and bang table if it happens again though!!!
