Get a solicitor to send them the bill from Andy Williams nuts to let them get away with it

 

I agree.

I love the cars but their customer service is absolutely fekking shocking.

 

Unless I have read all this wrong, the OP changed the air intake completely from a panel filter to forced induction intake, without mapping it in, whilst the car was under warranty, on a 2.5 known historically to have issues, from UK Subaru, who are known to to evade warranty claims as much as possible? Don't waste your money on a solicitor UNLESS.......you have a receipt from the original dealer proving that they sold you the Typhoon, and even then you would have alot of arguing in court ahead of you, ££££ costs if you lose.
On the bright side, you will have a fantastic, worry proof motor now.

 

65,000 no way Subaru liable in court .. regardless of filter/ sorry

 

6500 read the thread numb nuts

 

Ah , that’s my old eyes , my apol

 

My neighbours 15 Plate STI with 14k miles on it has also just suffered ringland death!

 

Christ I am surprised it lasted that long.
can he claim under warranty or is it nodded?

 

Interesting vid from the Brettmeister General...

 

interesting how he says the piston arn't ****, which they are by comparison to the old STI proper forged pistons. Stanard cars have dropped plenty of ring lands without being abused.

also interesting how he seems to suggest 17psi is the limit before you might see issue, thats only 1.17bar, not much is it.

 

Yeah, tripe pistons. Too brittle.

 

Anything cast has brittle tendencies,
Strong yes , but that strength is compromised with certain elements

 

well in so many words he said there **** and can fail on a standard or modded car so that goes to prove just how good they are.
