If it's the same thing as last time (I have a feeling it is) it's a lambda/o2/air-fuel type sensor that's gone, so that's not going to be cheap :/

Oh, and I didn't get the job, I was too good for the position.

 

Hey Chris what's happenned to yours??

I've had to replace both Lambda Sensor 1 and the idle air control valve on mine in the past. The failed lambda sensor didn't really alter performance just threw up the check-engine light and used LOADS of fuel. However the idle air control valve made the car stall or almost stall when coming to a stop, created lumpy accerleration and even wouldn't let the car start half of the time.

Let me know what's going on with yours mate.

i aint got any more pics yet H, you'll get to see it on sunday though i might pop up to you on way back from the scoobclinic for a visit, if you're in and up for it of course.

It seems that H&S sold me a catted downpipe, which means i have to throw the one away (well, sell it) so i have to replace it with another. Jeeze. Its going to be louder

 

 

I can't remember exactly what it was last time, all I can remember was the bill came to over £600...

It never cuts out (although it does get close) and it always starts.
The idle wanders about, at traffic lights and such.
The CEL comes on and off randomly.
MPG is a little off, but not greatly.
Acceleration is rubbish (yes, I know it's a GX, before some smartarse points that out ) and lumpy like you say, but I thought that was the 'hesitation' problem a lot of Sports seems to have.

Then today it was basically un-driveable, could hardly pull away (felt like you were in 5th) and all power kept dying completely, and it sounded a LOT louder than normal.

So it's at Oaken Subaru (expensive I know, but it needs fixing properly) and I've currently got a Kia Cerato, automatic :|

 

£600 bill from where?

 

Blimey mate to be honest that sounds like it could be a comination of things I know what you mean about wanting to get it sorted though, I've been to Oaken before and they seem good, just hope they don't pull your pants down too much.

 

Triangle (Kia/Subaru) of Chesterfield.

They do seem all right Tom, when they're not failing my MOT because the exhaust is too loud and charging me £30 for some wiperblades >:[

 

Last one just thought this looked cool against the blue sky

 

off 2 see dispicable me in 3D...i'm such a child. and carl ur spoiler looks the dogs m8!! is it real carbon?

 

Just found the invoice from the first time (dated 14/08/2009)

Tyre (+ valve and balancing, aparently it was illegal and they wouldn't test drive it if they didn't change it...) + Air/Fuel ratio sensor (22641aa100) + transmission neutral switch (didn't even know what was faulty!) + labour + VAT... £635.61. Robbing bar stewards >:[

You can get the above part (Air/Fuel ratio sensor (Bosch p/n 22641aa100)) from loads of places for £100 tops, including post and VAT, they charged £284, not inc VAT!

It's no wonder they can let me have a courtesy car for free!

 

Nice init me and carl are goin to be the first init

 

Get well soon mark im sorry to hear that , Josh sed ur fine tut tut. Get him to look after you and be your slave till ur better x

 

hey all,anyone in?

 

black widow is looking well nice on the strip.what a cracking shot,looks like a magazine snap

 

True, there's loads of shots on my FB page (Mark Feighan), been tagged everywhere.

 

hows everyone?

 

Hi prit, doing well mate. Penniless but doing well

 

Those wheels are the biz. The photo does them justice, although when I saw you pass me on the motorway on way to leamington, they looked REALLY nice.

 

That spoiler looks fookin massive
Bet you can't wait to get it back

 

Getting it back on saturday, then got to run it in (500 miles, which is just a week for me) so I'll find out what sort of limits I'll have on it when I collect it then go back down next week for oil-change and final-remap. That'll be it then, I aint spending any more on it for quite a while, though I'll have the confidence of knowing the engine aint going to go pop plus I'll have a load of extra power so that'll be good! If I do spend anything, it'll be on the interior. The missus said she'll get me some mudflaps for xmas. lol. well, she aint said, Ive told her "i want mudflaps for xmas".

 

Kev will tempt you with something I bet. That modifying bug will bite you again and then its spend, spend, spend...
but thats why bankers created "card tarting"

 

lmao. I think you might be true bud. You going on sunday to cosford?

 

In a Crysler Neon,, I dont think so. Ive got loads to do on the car anyway, so if the weathers nice I will be working on that.

 

Yep, its Carbon and had to replace the roof spoiler with an STI one so the carbon and side bits would all fit. Was cheap really considering a STI spoiler (and light) plus the carbon bits for 427 plus painting and fitting of course which has bumped it up to 727 altogether. Hopefully it wont look like a frankenscoob when I actually see it. Will get it washed for sunday meet and stick my WMI stickies on there

 

Mark, I think you should contact TotalImpreza and get it in there mate. You've put a ton of effort and dollar into that car. Id love to read all about it

 

Loving the fact that we are all using this section now

They've rung and said it's something to do with the O2 circuit (did tell me the P code but I've forgotten) they're ringing back with the part number and I'll see how much cheaper I can get it. Anyone here able to get cheap parts?

 

Try a breakers bud. Theres a few on the internet and you might get it a lot cheaper than new. I work all day on the internet, I dont mind doing a bit of searching for you. I'll make a list of 6 for example with price, tel no and companyname and i'll leave it to you.

 

Right, your mission, should you choose to accept it, cheapest price on 'Air/fuel ratio sensor pn: 22641aa100' Best I can find is roughly £85 inc VAT and delivery. Like this one (this isn't the cheapest, just the first one I could find): http://www.lambdasensor.com/main/bos...tem=0258007084
