Has anyone got a switch just above there bonnet release in a w reg uk impreza turbo?

I've got no idea what its for

 

Do the wires behind look standard... where to the go off to..
Trace them and find out.. Could be absolutely anything from an after market fog light to some sad neons underneath that the last owner had..
Certainly not standard anyway.

 

It's the low boost switch for the Turbo.

I have always had mine on low boost to get a good mpg and give longevity to the engine - I suggest leaving it in the Low Boost position (the LED on the dash will light if it's in High Boost) so, no LED light = GOOD!!

 

press it and see what happens

 

switchable map as standard, you sure? just never heard of it that's all.

 

It's placed there by Subaru and removed by the Dealer - unless, like me, you ask to have it retained.

 

Could be anything from flamer kit, fog switch or electric mirrors, but definately not standard...

I prefer pete's idea though

 

thought it was pete being pete.

go on press it see what happens. just don;t blame me if something goes bang.

 

you press a button

and flick a switch

LOL @ pslewis.

Are you mistaking it for the button you press on your mx-5 that lifts the roof up?

I get the impression I should flick the switch then

 

Does the switch have 3 positions? latch into position one way, push back out when pressed the other and a central position?

If so you may have a clifford or some other non standard alarm and this is the switch that toggles the alarm functions.

In which case don't flick the switch.

 

Just do it,you know you want to.....

If you're still alive afterwards,let us know how you go on

 

Noooooo...............dont flick the...........

 

well pressed it and.............................










it did nothing

 

..................... that you know of

 

AHA, but, was the Ignition ON??

 

tried it with the car unstarted and then with the car started

 

Thats all well and good - but, what about when the BRIGHT Switch is ON??

 

Or maybe with the the indicator stalk in the down position ?

 

can you get happy neons????

 

Do NOT press this switch above 100 mph. It is the parachute release button.

 

 

It's to stop the lights on the **** link, pete's just winding you up

 

all good answers
