OK, thats that out the way ................... have you anything useful to say about the Oil Change Procedure to be used on these cars then?

I would imagine you subscribe to the **** Procedure .... being the type you are, am I close??

Pete

 

Actually if you read back I agree. I change oil same as any other car. I am a qualified mechanic although not practicing it anymore as pay is ****! My last car had 159 000 on clock before I sold it, so must be doing something write as I owned it from 18 000 miles.

 

ffs Lewis .............stop wasting your time....get down the rover dealers and px that clapped out old scooby for a Rover V8 ZT............

 

Do YOU have an Impreza Turbo then??

And, as a mechanic, would you re-place the MAF Sensor - just in case, or wait until it failed?

My brother was a Ford Mechanic for many years, went out on his own, then got out completely and now leases cars to whoever will pay him.

Pete

 

They will allow me £10k on mine P/Ex. - pay me £5k - if I will just take one of their cars away!!

Pete

 

Only MAF sensors that were dodgy were 99/00 model year. I havent replaced mine on current Impreza. It is a MY00 PPP model with 52 000 on it and still same MAF. Replace it when its faulty is what I say, ive never experienced a faulty one so not sure of symptoms, I guess fuel mix would be wrong in which case you should notice it when driving it. If you have £80 to spend every year go ahead, I think its a waste of money personally.

 

They all play into the master's hands....

superb

 

Time on your hands Pete?

 

I have a couple of hours spare, why? Would you like me to humiliate you some more?

Pete

Can't believe everyone had the respect to let me take this corner, thank you!

 

I was with you till point twelve but it got a bit far fetched then !!

 

Pete's also a doorman

mickp:-

Errrrrmmmmm, yes??

So? What are you saying?? ..... we have now returned to YOUR planet - so you now feel able to post?



Pete

 

Not too sure now ..... need to be registered

Pete

I only did it to slap the '**** Nerds' anyway

 

ch'yah backdoor man i reckon.........

 

Nursie says its Illegal

Pete

 

Pete, what scooby do you own? This is serious question now, im not taking the ****.

 

Subaru Impreza Turbo, Model Year 2000, owned since new.

Pete

 

If its standard I highly recommend fitting PPP like mine, you will be amazed at difference for real world driving. I guess it isnt pink either lol

 

Deep Blue Mica

And, to my mind, PPP is a waste of money ..... £1000 or something, is it?

Real world driving doesn't allow me to use my car to its full potential in any case, why pay for the extra I could only use on a track?

Pete

 

Speak for yourself I use all of mine, isnt that what owning one of these cars is all about? Standard UK WRX Impreza's are flat pancakes! If you test drive one with PPP you will know what I am speaking about. Not sure how much PPP is cause I bought mine already fitted from previous gullable **** owner

 

To my mind, the car I buy is the car I want ............

To modify it is saying that you bought the wrong car in the first place and that makes you look especially stupid - buying a car that doesn't do what you want it to do.

If I wanted an Aston Martin I would buy one - I wouldn't buy an XK8 and modify it to try to get it to look like and behave like an Aston

Buy the car that does what you want it to do

Oh, yes, modifying your car destroys its appeal to the market, it costs £££ but makes the car worth £££££££££££ less!!

Ridiculous

Pete

 

EXACTLY! Thats why I bought my PPP modified Impreza from last gullable **** for £7500 last August with 45k on it and FSSH I rest my case. You must have been stupid purchasing a flat pancake standard wrx that turbo diesels can beat lol

 

And to be honest you are the gullable one buying a new car, you always buy second hand. Let the first numb nuts throw away x amount of £££

 

"If I wanted an Aston Martin I would buy one - I wouldn't buy an XK8 and modify it to try to get it to look like and behave like an Aston "

So you wanted a scooby ? wow so why are you so anti scooby and anti modifying mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

So Pete; what are you going to do, pay for the warranty or hope that you can get by without it? I understand your scepticism and I agree that most dealers cut corners (I wonder how many fill the filter even?); but can you afford to be so blase when, if there is something to it, cutting corners might leave you facing a £2,000 rebuild bill?

With regard to the MAF; its a known issue and more people realise that somethings wrong when they burn through number three piston than notice poor running in the knick of time. With this in mind, itd probably be the wisest £75 that youve spent on yor car if you replaced it with the new improved part, especially considering the (lean sounding) MPG figures that youre already getting; didnt you mention 28 MPG? Even if youre driving carefully Id be wary.....

Sorry to bring your thread back onto topic, I realise that you were having a good troll.

Moray:-

Buying an Impreza does NOT imply you HAVE to modify it

You have a shagged, thrashed Impreza ..... I'm sorry that you find Diesels overtaking you and you cannot respond

I don't think it's pleasant calling the previous owner of your Impreza a Gullible **** (yes, thats right - you cannot even spell Gullible) ..... whoever owned it loved it and cherished it, spent money on it and lost money on it - you have no right to call them a ****.

I bought a new car so I would know how it was run-in ....... the problems you have with your performance could be because it wasn't run-in quite right?

Pete

 

I dont have any problems, read back thicko ! When you have driven both standard and PPP impreza you will see the light. Until then dream. You bought car from new to make sure it was run in properly. You really are **** after all. I rest my case again keep trying dumb **** !

 

Simon

I will NOT be paying Subaru Warranty their requested £1233 for 12 months cover!

It frees me up to use whatever Servicing method I choose - even doing it myself (I do it on my other cars, without dire results) - after all, the Main Dealers put the Apprentice on the Servicing (nowt wrong with that, except that they charge the same extortionate hourly rate as a highly skilled, time served, Mechanic!)

The MAF, well, I reckon it fails as a result of inappropriate Induction Kits ...... having contacted my Main Dealer and mentioned the MAF 'Problem' he laughed and said I had been reading too many internet myths ..... he had NO reason to believe that the standard car suffers in anyway from a sensitive MAF - he laughed at the word 'sensitive' ..... the more sensitive the better he said!

28mpg is what it should be returning at 58,000miles given a carefully run-in engine - driven with sympathy!

Pete
