I believe they do because they use a non primary oiling system
Won't cover it because it's been tuned.
It's hell getting older.beyond globs of RTV migrating to the oil pickup I'd agree (or was that fixed)
That's a very exaggerated thing that isn't an issue many manufacturers use rtv, just like subaru. Nobody has seen a significant number of issues come up. You're more likely to blow your transmission than have rtv or engine problems
Doesn't run well when cold outside until it warms all the way up. Has low power output 1/4 or lower fuel level. Dash rattles etc just things you wouldn't expect on a car as expensive as it is.
You don't think the FA20 has oiling issues? I mean I'm willing to hear your argument but I've personally seen several with rod bearing failure also forums and such that talk about it. I know it can be overblown online but enough people say it that it seems like there is at least some truth to it.
That’s a shame these issues popped up after warranty?
It has 24k miles on it. The dealer has been less than helpful. They basically said keep it above 1/4 tank of fuel, they didn't hear the dash rattle and to let the car warm up completely before driving it. The advisor said its just how they are. I got it tuned trying to fix that issues but it didn't the tuner said there is open loop strategy that they cannot control that is the cause for the running issue. Who knows how true that really is but the guy did seem pretty knowledgeable.
Well most the subie owners say the factory tune runs it to lean. I tuned it to try to fix the cold weather performance ...which didn't work
Which should show you how much they know. Those claims likely come from the tuners themselves and people simply keep repeating it. It does sell tunes though, maybe even some placebo improvements too.Well most the subie owners say the factory tune runs it to lean.
