Not good Ted

 

[GORDON GT SERIES II]

Why wouldn't they stand over it on warranty seems poor with only 22k on the clock

 

[scoobysub]

What if it was tracked for 10k of them and not looked after Not saying it was. But there's always 2 sides

 

[GORDON GT SERIES II]

Agree completely joe but if it was tracked for 10k it wouldn't have been full 10k of track use it would surely be on and off use at that ?

 

[Rob Spec C]

Says a lot that he still wants a trade for a newer sti all the same, ha..

 

[midlandbe5]

He could have ran it low on oil and spun a bearing that way?
It's all guess work on a forum though!

 

[tommy 555]

as above , its guess work ,

but thats not an isolated case either ,

 

[BazGF8]

That's the new FA engine aswell in the wrx

 

[tommy 555]

never coped it was the new fa , have read about the sti letting go also ,

 

[BazGF8]

Sti is the ej25 so what's changed lol

 

[tommy 555]

Suppose so baz . But a car that's only out what 12 months at most . Doesn't say a lot for the manufacturer

 

[BazGF8]

Tbh Id say a lot of it is failing to check oil level .

 

[tommy 555]

they do use a bit , even in standard trim ,

check mine every time i take her out , overkill i know but better safe than sorry

 

[BazGF8]

Not overkil at all .
Check mine once a week , needs to be topped up once a month bout 250ml.

I think it the design of the engine where the gudgen pin hole is in the block (which can fill with oil) and how far the Pistons come down the bore .

Also running in correctly will determine how much oil it will use , I don't think the ej20 has this issue.

 

[keith dublin]

If you buy one new is there a run in or are you good to go from the off or are they run in on a dyno or something

 

[tommy 555]

Isn't the first 1000 km the run in period . First service always due at that anyway

 

[dontommy]

He went to the Subaru - they denied him based on something I assume...
Then he posted the add conveniently throwing the dirt on the manufacturer but not disclosing Subaru's reason...

Would adding aftermarket parts like the Perrin exhaust system not void his warranty?
