Subaru WRX 2002 and smell of gas on cold starting
Hi.
Do other Subaru WRX 2002 (bugeye) has a smell of gas on cold startings?
We live in Finland?
In USA there have been callback on 2009.
Is this smell of gas a typical?
Service Campaign # WVK-21
Bulletin Description: Subaru has initiated a voluntary regional recall to replace a specific engine fuel line and hose on certain 2002 and 2003 model year Impreza WRX models currently registered in the 16 "cold weather" states listed below.
In extremely cold outside temperatures, the fuel delivery line/hose located under the engine intake manifold may temporarily seep some fuel during initial cold engine start up. If this condition occurs, vehicle occupants may notice the smell of fuel. To correct this condition, affected vehicles will require replacement of the engine fuel delivery line and hose.
Additionally, Subaru will provide an extended 12 year/unlimited mileage warranty for this condition to owners of affected vehicles located in the remaining 34 states. Please refer to Subaru Service Bulletin 01-170-09 for additional information.
