Default modded uk cars

thought the idea of having a uk car was always better as you have dealer support on hand . but due to a few mods, my local dealer has told me they cant do anything for my car and have told me to go to a specialist subaru garage. didnt think i was that over the top with modifications tek3 and a couple of others but they reckon this interferes with their machine for reading fault codes plus the fact that an impreza is supposedto run 8psi standard and mine according to their machine is 22psi but according to my secs its only doing 19psi

That does sound quite high. My Tek3 i 17.4/17.5psi max.

Never had probs servicing mine and there is no value in telling them what mods you have done.

The fact is dealers don't want to touch modded cars. If they are drying to diagnose a problem and you have mods, 99% of the time they will tell you to go away and they will blame the modes you have made.
