Davem76 wrx

Hi everyone this is my first post as I am new to subaru. I bought a green 2001 wrx in November last year. noticed front brakes juddering when braking hard so decided to change discs and pads for brembos. When stripping down brakes I noticed on my front right caliper on 2 of the 4 pistons were working and other side 1 was sticking. A garage close to my work said they could get recon calipers £100 each plus ma old ones they done the job on friday a then noticed that one of the recon calipers does not say subaru on it just has a code reading 2 DIFV. has anyone heard of this before is it a proper subaru part or is a cheap fake.plus the fact it does not look very good on the car would u take it back and demand for it to be changed ? Also find the car a bit sluggish when pulling away any suguestions thanks for reading >.

Did you not ask what calipers they were intending on putting on your car before you let them touch it?

I was told they would take off my old ones and replace them with reconditioned parts and thought it would be like for like.as I said earlier one is the same and one looks the same caliper lesss the subaru name

when I hit 6500 rpm my engine management light comes on and only goes out after switching engine on and off 3 times anyone got ideas what this could be.

There is copy 4 pot callipers think one of the brake companies that trade on here sell them, there meant to be just as good.

Its best getting a code reader for the ecu light coming on, possibly cam sensor, there a fault somewhere and the code will be stored.

early 4pot calipers had "subaru" cast into the body, later ones simply had stickers on them.............
sounds like potentially you have one of each??

That will be the camshaft sensor, P0340, Common occurrence higher up the rev range on a bug wrx, Nothing to worry about but i would advise you to get the codes read to make sure though
