I think the WRX STi gets only 3 years or 60,000 miles warranty.
All the other Subarus get indeed 5 years

 

I'll ask my dealer and let you know.
Were they scratched when you got it? You can ask your dealer as well :-)

 

Why??? Would Mangoletsi give 5 years?? On the WRX STi??

 

Yes thats what i got, so i'm surprised they didn't offer it to you as well, interesting, very interesting, the plot thickens

Its a warranty they put together with another company, so not from subaru directly, although it mirrors the subaru warranty to the letter.

 

Is this the first MY15 to destroy a piston then, all be it running about 370bhp. Out of interest was it run on V-Power when it went?

 

apparently ran on 95ron. DOH

 

Aha! That expalins it then
I should talk to them and may ask for the 2 extra years, when the official 3-year Subaru warranty runs out Besides, my car is not remapped

Thanks for pointing this out

 

Yea will be interesting to see what they say You have to pay for it obviously though.

 

Not surprising then if true. Crazy to spend all that money and then run it on cheap petrol.

 

Did you pay for the 2 extra years? Or was it part of the remapping plan?

 

Yep i paid a bit more for that and to include the remap.

 

Yes, we had a chat last week about this
I will make up my mind soon about the remap etc

Car now has 1,200+ miles I don't drive it that much....I have to say... since I got it 16 days ago...

 

need more pics then

 

Eeek, mine has nearly 8000 on it, in 5 months. I do love driving it though, and it is the daily drive.

 

Good going, mines just tripped 5K and due it first proper service soon. It'll be a year old soon I mostly do short distance trips in it, also my daily.

 

First month of ownership gone and mileage still at around 1,400 miles, as I do not drive for work at the moment.
I can't wait to come to the first meeting in June

 

2300 miles on mine, Engine broke in as I usually do followed by a compulsory 1000 mile oil change. next due in 2000 miles.

 

Overkill mate, but whatever rings your bell I'm going to do mine every 6 months or 5K, maybe more, i use to do the blob every year.

 

Yeah I agree its a bit ott, but having always changed the oil at 3000 miles its become more of a habit

 

Are the Japanese spec ones different from the type uks?

 

where do you go for your oil change and service?
I am thinking of scoobyclinic (what about the warranty?) or the dealer where I bought it from.
I have even bought a service book from ebay, as I don't like this "key registration service" only; I like everything to be documented on paper!

 

Will you get this done at Mangoletsi, in order to keep the 5-year warranty?

 

As I work as a Technician for a Subaru dealer, I do it myself. Create a Job card Labour FOC and charge myself parts at cost. Print out the invoice, one copy for me, One copy for work. Add the service to the database. job done

I have all of my invoices in a folder inc the car invoice and accessories in date order.

 

Nope any subaru dealer will do.

 

I see
Thanks for the replies rob and bioforger.
I think I might just get the oil and oil filter changed at 5000 miles anyway, just to keep the turbo freshly lubricated. By the end of Saturday, car will have 2000 miles, so I'll have the chance to meet some of you at the NBO in June and chat about these more!
