Dunc at Hypertech has experienced alarm problems with his new sti as well, middle of the night wake up call for no obvious reason

I had alarm problems with mine.

They were solved by Stan Palmers in Carlisle - the red light showed that the tilt sensor was faulty so it was replaced and the problem solved!

Cheers.

Hi,

I had this problem as well, I phoned Subaru direct as my garage had no idea and they sent through some docs to the garage. If I remember correctly some sensor was too close to something else and was causing the alarm to go off. I took the car into John R Wier in Perth and the changes were made and car has been fine since.
