Tony ,glad to hear the car is going well at last

My warranty is up at the end of the month,has anybody taken out the extended warranty?

Is it worth taking out? Comprehensive cover ? How much is it ?

Any thoughts/advice welcome.

 

My dealer advised me not to. Only covered if the failure meant the car was completely undriveable. I am on 60k now. Keep your body warrantee going though as I have had to have boot lid and front wing done. There is an upgrade for rear number plate light seals. Check for rust streaking down from number plate light fitting.

 

Hi smiffydiff

I won't be taking it up as not worth it. IIRC £1300 per year if yo take it up BEFORE it's 3rd Bday.

If you extend it the day after the 3rd Bday you pay more with less coverage IIRC

And you'll only get what you has previously. Save those pennies and save on service costs. If engine goes Cossie it up.

IMHO

Glad your at last happy with car Tony

 

Hi Tony

I got the 340r pack upgrade to my saloon - awesome stuff! More noise, less lag and much more torque. Worth every penny!

Fang mine goes great now. Issue was only in sports sharp but I never used any of the other gay modes LOL

Morning all,

Quick question regarding the 340 upgrade. I have just had the stock exhaust replaced with a H&S system, I phoned Subaru about getting the upgrade but they won't do it as the upgrade comes with a new exhaust which I don't need! They told me their exhaust in the package is designed for the 340 upgrade.

So can somebody please recommend a mapper that can do the job, costing wise for a first map I know it will be anywhere between 500-650? Suggestions please guys.

Many thanks

If mine was out of warranty I'd suggest for hatch remaps would be Bob Rawle or Litchfield imports.

There are 10 more around country so Really depend what part of the country your in


Tony

 

further north I'd not use anyone but Andy Forrest

 

very good call

Andy forest, Bob Rawle and Jolly green (JGM) but IIRC all will travel

North
Scooby clinic and Roger Clark Motorsport

Pat Hebron York!!

Litchfield imports.
TDR

Down south

Alan Jefferies enginetuner

Scoobyworld, AMD, Dynamix, lateral performance, revolution, Slowboy racing.

But I'd do some good research and choose wisely



Tony

 

Cheers guys some good suggestions there, will do some research and have a look :-)

Regards
Neil

 

I have seen Pat map a few at Scoobyclinic and there isn't much extra in the turbo at 340bhp. He always keeps it safe. 340R map is good but very rich.

 

Had my quotation today for the extended warranty,car has done 18k miles and they want

£850 ,"everything is covered" he said

I'm also looking for a large rear spoiler if anybody knows of 1 or a decent contact with subaru who can quote a decent price.

 

Tony my Scoobs long gone mate.

But saw your motor on a trailer heading south motorway past Banbury?

what's wrong?

Hi all,

I had mine mapped on RR by JGM, only cat back and panel filter and achieved 327.5/380 MY2010 WRX STI Saloon. ECUTEK

Going to crossroads once they finished diagnostics, I'll let you know

Tony

 

Anyone else had their had their Pro-R back box rattling it seems to have fell apart inside?

I remember someone said they'd been waiting 6months for a replacement.?

Tony

Ps see my engine failure topic

Geraint (Sniffmydiff) waited a long time..................

 

Yes Tony I had mine replaced last year under warranty , when the replacements eventually turned up, before you change them have a check on the inside of the tailpipes as the inner section seems to be just a sleeve and that rattles on mine now until it warms up.
If you want the same boxes again I think Hughy off here , who used to own the 'purple' one had some new ones that he didn't sell with the car as he had a custom system fitted.
The 340 upgrade seems to be a pile of crap

 

I am running the ones Hughy had. Done 40+k in them with out a hint of a rattle.

 

I can remember you saying but my memory is legendary I complained about a heat shield rattle when engine went but found to be back box. So during warranty but will see.





If one is replaced under warranty hay ho!

If not I'll look else where

Tony

 

. It's really the only consideration of you wish to retain your 3yr warranty.

Parts and labour covered by 60000 and 3yrs so represents good value.

Other performance products only covered by 1yr warranty and not fitting costs

And you'd lose the warranty.

Certainly if buying today for a 3+year old car and no warranty. it wouldn't be my first or second choice. Haywood & Scott or Miltek.
