My Scooby thou a wobbler last night

Went to overtake a car and it felt like the rev limiter had came in only doing arround 3000 - 3500 rpm and the engine check light came on.

Car seems to drive ok

been on to my local Scooby dealer

Who is basically accusing me of revving the **** off it or missing a gear on a down change.

the guy was Giving it "the car will have recorded how fast it was going gear it was in rev's etc"

If this is the attitude of there service department I cant see that ill be going back to them when I need it serviced etc

anyone any ideas as to what the problem might be ,I know my descriptions not very good.

My car is a MY03 WRX PPP

 

What code did the CEL give ?

 

sounds like overboost, or fuel cut, strange to hit it in a new car. any mods?

 

How do i get the CEL code Scooby Towers???

Only mod is the PPP pack WillGill

 

Unless you know someone with Select Monitor, you might have to take it back to your local numpty dealer...

 

It's going in on Wednesday

just rather pi**ed off at the over the phone diagnostics "revving the **** off it or missing a gear on a down change"

 

Is that true about recording the revs/gears/speed ??

Tal

 

Not sure if that right or not Tal

But I've been asked by a mate of mine who's a mechanic to ask for the P code
I'm also going to be asking what revs speed gear etc the car was doing

 

Sounds like they're trying to rattle you mate. I don't believe there is a data logger in Scoobs. Don't let them fob you off with anything.

 

I'll post the error code up when I get it ,so I know if what they have told me is right or not.

 

As Mark stated - there's no data log in the ECU.
Unfortunatly you need a secs monitor to read the codes on a new age.

Which dealer is so experienced that they can read ecu's over the phone ?
I thought it was only Maclaren F1's with a modem socket - Muppets !

 

secs monitor on my list of things to buy ,im planning on getting it as soon as my SIDC membership arrives then I can get some discount on it

I'll give you a clue as to who the dealer is SCOOBY TOWERS ,there in Carlisle

 

You must have got hold of the apprentice then !
Thought you Cumbriam marras had nowt but praise for the Carlisle mob ?

 

That what i thought Scooby Towers...

Must have been the store man i got hold of...

You ever get over to the Cumbrian Scoob meets Scooby Towers??

 

Not yet !
I've been watching rallies with Rusty a few times but never made a meet !
I'm also a mod on www.ladsoc.co.uk so most of my "Scoobytime" is taken up at meets / run outs / organising events etc
Hope to make on soon though !

 

I went to my first Cumbrian Scoob's meet last week

 

LOL - I noticed
Nice pics on CS by the way !

 

I absolutely cant stand it when main dealers take this attitude.

There is no need for it, and to go onto make up bollox about data logging... just not acceptable.

 

Cars fixed, turns out it had over boosted or something like that.

The Boos Solenoid was changed
