On P1's?????????????????

Serious Engine Problems??

This would be BAD news for Subaru - with NO recalls to its name YET

Pete

 

Pete

Seriously do you know whats involved? How long does the fix take? I'm booked on a ferry to the continent, don't fancy risking the family being standed in the Alps.

 

Its just what I have picked up - thought it needed an airing as its own thread

I, personally, have NO idea whatsoever - hence this thread

Pete

 

Banshi,....If you are one of the unlucky ones your family will be blown clean out of the alps - don't worry about getting stranded.

 

Hope these are warranty recalls??

Pete

 

Boost, are you Imas twin, if you've nothing constructive to say, say NOTHING.

Just got me paintwork sorted and now this

 

is this ture or not

 

This is the second rumour ive heard
Is it an engine recall or gearbox recall ?

 

In the US they have recalled the WRX over power steering problems. This was solved under warranty IIRC.

 

Surely if this was true, all you P1 owners would have had something through the post?
Just a thought.

 

I'm told there might be a tyre related recall for P1 18" wheel owners (obviously only those who bought the wheels and tyre package), but nothing else.

Josh

 

very worrying...

 

I just called Tiley's and they do not know anyting about any recalls on P1's is this just the normal bull***t coming off this board from the normal bull****er or what

Neil

 

there was a recall over 18"wheels and tyres if you had them fitted to your p1 but we know nothing of any other recalls. (yet!)

 

I have got these fitted to my P1 but not had a recall

Neil

 

Neil - I assume you are referring to me??

You will kindly note my comment on the 3rd post on this thread - as you are obviously too lazy to scroll through and properly read the thread I will paste it here:-

I AM a wind-up merchant - but I try NEVER to post anything that may make someone worry about the safety of their car and family - As I had heard things about a recall on P1's I thought I had better open a debate ........... you may have put the concerns to bed - well done, good boy, pat on the back and all that ..... Did you talk to someone who would know, or just Billy the parts person?

All I can say is ............... SELL YOUR P1's THE WORLD IS ENDING!!!!

Pete

 

Why sell your P1 if the world is coming to an end ? Go out there and bl**dy enjoy it, clock up as many points on your licence before the world ends.......

No - now come on - dont tell me you are kidding about the world coming to an end

Gastro

 

Hiya gastro mate - long time no talkie!!

Hope all is well with you?

Me kid??? nah!!!!!!!!!

Pete

 

Don't suppose all this was started by imatrikuhs???

 

Pete you should know their parts manager ain't called Billy. I've every confidence in the information source, after all they told me there were only around half a dozen unsold P1s in the network.
Nothing wrong with that.........




.....except the conversation took place in April 2001

 

Just checked on the appropriate .gov web sites and no recalls posted? None on http://www.tradingstandards.net/pages/recall.htm either....

 

BTW Now this IS a genuine recall :~/
(5/3/2001)
Product: Rapesco Master Nailer 180EL nailgun, July 1999-March 2001.
Problem: Risk of personal injury.
Action: Stop using immediately and contact the helpline on 0800 0352744 weekdays.

Oh Jeez - maybe it fires backwards !!!!!!

 

...apparently there have been some nasty injuries when people use the rapesco nailer to fasten their front splitter back on again.
However there is no truth in the rumour that the nailer suffers from peeling paint though ;-)

My P1 had some recall work done some time ago. Can't remember what it was though. It was done while the car was in for a service.

It's due a service in a week or two, so I'll keep an eye open. I have the 18" wheels as well.

Regards
Kurt

 

I think the recall in question is about the tyre fitted to the 18" wheels.The problem is that the side wall of the tyre has been cracking.I beleive there have only been a few cases where this has happened,and from what I can gather,If you purchased your wheels and tyres from a main dealer and this has happened to your tyres, I think subaru will replace them.The best people to speak too,to querry this would be prodrive.I don't think an actual recall is in operation but I'm sure they will be able to tell you more about it.The tyre in question is the p zero.
Hope this is the only recall for the p1.

 

I have now checked this recall out with the relevant government departments and the official line is:-

"When a Subaru Impreza is fitted with Gold Wheels of ANY size or make - it IMMEDIATELY informs the car-jacking criminals that a Girlie Male completely devoid of taste and class is in control - it is an east target - and it is affecting the crime figures - it is imperitive, therefore, that these cars be equiped with suitable masculine wheels of the silver/anthracite variety before this government loses the next election ..... purely because some geeks have NO taste whatsoever"

Pete,

Jealousy is a very dangerous thing.

I know yours is just a standard little UK car that has the desires to be something greater like a P1 or lesser !

Gold wheels would embelish her her much better than those standard(read common) silver ones.

Never mind poor Scoob, your owner has his head firmly in the sand where that is concerned.

Oh well, you can't buy taste can you !!

Steve.

 

Thanks you for bringing up this subject.I have know been told that there is a problem and it is not with the P1 it is the 18" PZero tyres.
Thankyou PETE I have know been told i will have them replaced. That will save me some money as i have done about 7k in them. Many many!!!!!!!!! thanks

Neil
