If its new S3 ad def go for that but is there not a bit of a waiting list for it. Other than that the R32.

what am planning on doin when in aberdeen next. just hoping to get some opinions/ammo before i go

Had a bulb blow on my car yesterday so got new bulbs and on replacing it i have noticed that the dipped beam adjuster is nackered. Would the head light unit be replaced/repaired under warrenty. I have read the warrenty book and it says that lights and bulbs arnt covered but to me thats just the lamps for the lights them selfs. Mark

why not take off all the extra's sell them seperately to make some of the money that your loosing back? But £21000 is a bit on the low side for a trade in especially as you'll see yor car on the forecourt for 23 to 24k

have the highland meet on sunday so hopefully someone there will know what the sound is

anybody else?

Is it a traffic cop thats you job scooby doom or are you just normal policeman? If its traffic you've probably pulled me over once or twice in my previous cars.

there is a light blue volvo s40 on the go aswell.

Fai Dont have a CAi but thats on the shopping list. It doesnt sound like flutter as I had this on my old LCR a few times. Wilkey Unfortunately not near stirling. It dont sound like a mooing, rich Cullenmin is home tomorrow so will get his opinion to see what sound he thinks it makes. Also will try get a sound recording. But doesnt sound like a boost leak either. No hissing etc Yeah it comes from drivers side. Its not a constant scream just a little scream/chirp every time its nearly at full boost which makes me think its just the sound of the wastegate closing. Have checked and its not wobbling. nice and tight. is the pipe an extra vent for the wastegate? as can figgure out what purpose it serves. Is the boost solenoid under a black cover infront of the driver side strut? may have a look at cleaning this tomorrow. Is there anything that can go wrong bar puting the hoses on wrong? Cheers Mark

Ha Ha Ha you enjoy bein sober last night?

Something I need is a boost guage so I could possibly do that. Think that needs to be next on my shopping list.

Cheers for this. Was in elgin earlier and fortunately never saw it. Weather was crap so was taking it easy.

it is a screech/chirp. have tried to hold the throttle when it happens but cant get noise to stay constant. Get the chirp then nothing. Car runs fine and no warning lights yet. Prob just me worrying about nothing but thought it best to ask incase do some permanent damage.

Cheers, Thought it was me playing about between firefox and IE . So any suggestions stephen?

Ok just taken the old cats from boot and the turbo outlets are different as the prodrive one has a extra pipe. would this cause the chirp? Old New would this extra pipe be the source of the new sound? and also whats that extra pipe for?

st3ph3n its a standard DV on the car. No jerk bar the the pick up in power from lag to turbo spinning up if I'm below 3k but if above 3k its smooth. Rich maby get a shot if your lucky someone else did the day though prob am just worrying about nothing but still learning about this engine. Know plenty about the vag 1.820vt if anyone has any questions

I have just had a prodrive CAT and de cat fitted. Driving the car for the first time since doing it and in 4th 5th 6th there is a new noise happening. The best way to describe it is just befoe the boost spike as the turbo spools up there is a chirp(best way to describe it) but not the sound you get with wastegate chatter. It happens if I burry the throttle or feed in the throttle and get the car on boost quick or slow. The 2 things I think it could be are possibly DV leaking if the boost spike is bigger now due to more free flowing exhaust. But I cant see how it could be that much bigger. If the DV is leaking what easiest way to check this? Dont have a boost gauge. The other thing I think it could be is the wastegate closin or opening as the boost settles and now that the new cat is in place I can hear this since there isnt the sound deadening that the standard 2 cats had. But it isnt a flutter as if the wastegate was hunting its just a chirp as if its closing or opening. Am I worrying about nothing or should I get the old cats replaced? or car looked t? The are no CEL's and it was fitted by subaru mechanics. The car is completely standard apart fom this and is an 02 bugeye. Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Mark

It does look like a photo shop. And does look crap. Is it a private plate cos it dont look anything special for a private plate. And if it aint a private plate why is a blob eye on an 02 plate which makes me think its def a photoshop.

looking good

looks like everyone tha uses the scoob as a daily driver will be ok as they have MOT's its looks like you only have to scrutanier if you trailer it there

no it uk getting too soft. Overly PC and just generally going down hill

thers a couple other things i am looking at first before back box bit of a bugger though as there was a prodrive back box on ebay but seller ended early

too sure bout the one down south but the is one that town and county supplied a silver blob eye sti to grampian police. Silver unmarked. But think its only for use as liason car or something to that nature.

cheers fowks, what I had thought. I notice there is a WR sport with a very similar tail pipe to the prodrive. It's ebay that I am watching just now for one as there are a couple on there just now.

Another exhaust question now. Just wondering what the difference between them is? Is it just the badge on the exhaust tip or is it different internals etc? Also noticed on the subaru website the part no's are the same. Mark
