WRX 2001 Fault Code
Hi All.
Got my first scooby this weekend. All looks good except engine management light flashes occasionallyand stays on for a bit of time occasionally.
I spoke to the previous owner who said it does do this and when check the fault, if any, could not be isolated, although could be a turbo solenoid?? All other engine indicators are normal and the car runs fine.
He suggeted trying to get hold of a fault code reader. Does anybody know where I would get one of these?
Cheers

You may not get the codes off using a reader on a 2001 model, and may need to use the green / black connectors under the steering column.
If you don't want a dedicated reader you can buy an OBDII adapter and use a smartphone app.....

Thanks for the replies.
Where is the meet on Wednesday?
Anybody Recommend a body work garage that can do minor chips and also work with carbon fibre?
