bugeye fuel smell - recall name list.
 

If you have had the bugeye fuel smell fixed by a Main Dealer free of charge could you add your name to this list. I phoned a Subaru dealer in Northern Ireland and they hadnt even heard about it , and neither had my specialist mechanic who has owned an 02 Bugeye from new. I will have to pay to get mine fixed and am curious of how many on the mainland got theirs sorted !

Thanks in advance . (i cant be bothered to look through all the previous threads):thumb:

impreza wrx/2001/sometime in 2011

No Brendy , it was Eastwoods. Not even sure Edwin is an actual "dealer" anymore, that sign has been up there for years.

51 Plate Bugeye WRX (UK spec Dutch import)

Fixed by SGT December 2012

2002 bugeye wrx fixed free at sgpetch richmond,jan2012

2002 bugeye wrx fixed at cost by Gatwick Subaru before issue was accepted as a common fault by Subaru UK.

Gatwick put a claim in several months later and refunded me the cost :thumb:

impreza uk300, 2001, about 6 weeks ago, carstins balsall common

They're not a dealer and haven't been for a long time.
The only dealer in N.I is Eastwoods

Go tell them to take their signs down then :D

Omg my 2001 uk wrx bugeye has just started to do that when started from cold, it stops smelling of fuel after about ten mins, I thought it was the automatic choke sticking.
So I can get this fix for free ? I didn't realise it was a common fault

Not if you live in NI it seems :(

If you get any joy from your Subaru dealer add your name to this hate list . . . . . .i mean recall list ;)

2002 Wrx Sti type UK. Fixed in April 2012 by TH Whites in Cirencester.

I also had them say they had never heard of the fault, but Phil Camwell e mailed or rang them and sorted it for me. The only time I went to the garage was to drop the car off.

hummm not had a letter or anything about this. How do I get it fixed ? was it a proper recall? or just i you spot it get it fixed sort of thing?

No never was a recall. But if you are getting the smell of fuel during cold weather. It may be possible to get it fixed for free by a dealer

So am l right in thinking that you go to a Subaru main dealer and say your car as the fuel smell they repair the problem ? Mine was doing it this morning but l didn't think anything of it. 2001 bugeye.

There are quite a few threads about this , if you search you will find the info you need. This is just a list for my selfish needs as i cant seem to get mine fixed for free unlike owners on the mainland.

Also had mine done a few months ago it's a 2001 bug and was done at carstins near Coventry

Thanks charlyskunkweed. Found the Subaru UK statement printed it off and l'll be ringing the local dealer tomorrow.

if you get it fixed for free please donate some money to us poor Norther Irish bugeye owners :)

Could you send me the statement please?
