If you got a new noise then some other problem I guess.
Brake pads worn, binding? Bushes worn in a/r bar?? other suspension bushes worn, or needs alignment??

Guessing here!

Check with dealer if the map reflash was done at a service around late 2008.
Was a free ( often dealers didn't tell customers it had been done!! ) fix for 2008 STi's.

It's a bit pricey but I've gone for an official Subaru one as it will connect with my stereo (no nav, no DAB) and it should mean no issues if I need to use the warranty for anything.
Let us know the part number, im trying to confirm the one for use with NAV

H621SSC201 that's the part number I've ordered.

Here's the link

https://www.subaruonlineparts.com/pr...oducts_id=1043

My local dealer was a bit curious as to where I'd got the part number from, it would appear they aren't aware of the online parts stores from Subaru dealers. Hopefully if it works they'll be able to offer them as a uk option.

Is it on general release Rob, as in all v-power is now nitro+ even if pump is still marked up as old fashioned v-power?

I guess it will take a few days for all garages to empty the tanks and get stocked up with the new stuff!!

doesn't seem to be all over the place with the front end when you pick up speed.
firm ride but not feeling like a skateboard!!
less body roll around Islands/corners.... generally the car feels sturdier when driven


but then it all might be in my head lol
