Hi folks,

I have a 2004 WRX Blobeye (regulary serviced and lots of new parts £££), however, overtime it seems to have lost its whip when accelerating in 1st and 2nd??
Can anyone kindly advise or have any pointers?? Local mechanic has stated it could be a number of things and suggested a game of elimination by replacing lots of parts (he obvisously thinks I have money to burn!)

Would appreciate any help on this matter.

Thank you in advance,

Adie

 

Take it to a specialist mate. Simple answer. It could be a lot of things and sounds like your mech doesn’t know where to start.

 

You could be right there....

Thank you.

 

Looked for any fault codes,or reset the ECU yet?

 

Hi, No fault codes and no joy with ECU reset (battery disconnect?)

 

get it to a specialist and onto a dyno

 

I hear you disconnect the battery and pump the brakes on a newage,I've a classic so don't know if that works?
Or there's this

Thank you

 

I had a similar problem in an 04 sti dealers said could be many things new this new that etc, spoke to a mate after leaving who turns out to be a subaru boff and he said bring it around it will be the boost solanoid, sure enough he cleaned it out and the hoses with carb/brake cleaner and job was a good un, maybe similar??

 

Awesome.... thank you.

 

over time you get used to it (whether you have 200 or 600bhp), so it could actually be it's no different accept in your perception.
