What is going on with Subaru!

I've had to cancel my appointment for the Oil Control Valve Recall twice now, at Prosport because:

"The special tool is on Back order from Subaru"

WELL IT'S NOT ******* good enough SUBARU!!!!!!!!!!!!

It took you long enough to send out the recall notices..... The least you could have done was make sure that all the service centres had all the tools available to do the job

 

is prosport a subaru dealer?
mine was done two weeks ago,next day turn around,try a differant dealer buddy

 

Prosport is on the "Dealer List" attached to the recall notice, so I just assumed....

However, you might be right, maybe I will try another

 

we were sent ours months & months ago..

 

What models does this apply to?..

 

I only got mine 2 weeks ago.

Cars booked in tomorrow to have the work done. Suppose to only take an hour, just hope they dont p!ss around and take all day.

 

i got mine done months ago when recall first came out

The early Bugeye STI (I think) with the Variable valve timing

 

Cheers

 

Had mine done last week.Took 20 mins,Thats all,Usuming they did do something to it while it was in the workshop.

 

I do think it applies to some 03 sti's. Not all it depends on the chassis number.

If someone has a list of the chassis numbers (from ## to ##) it would be a great help, anyone on here work for subaru?

Its some 02 sti's as well

 

The recall notice sent to dealers says it requires a special tool but it is possible to do it without the special tool. The bolts are in a tricky position and the special tool just makes access easier. This assumes you are talking about the same recall as I am, but I think you are.
