If you drop the middle part of the rear seat you might be able to reach in with a long screw driver and flick the catch, Thats what ive had to do a few times when my lever sticks now and then.

hope that helps mate.

cheers mate nearly craped myself when it was suggested.

what the chances of bottom end failure on a car under 50,000 miles and i don't hear any strange noises or anything.

Thanks guys looks like i will remove and blank off the offending item and take it back up to the mapper.

I have the fault codes from my code reader and they are p2432 and p1410 secondary air system and secondary air combi valve does anyone have any idea on where to go from here.

Cheers for that i will get on to it asap, just hope its a simple fix. Thanks again

OK

So the other way you can do it is you can look in Scoobypedia in the ECU area. http://www.scoobypedia.co.uk/index.php/Knowledge/ECU Do a fair amount of reading (knowledge is good A little knowledge is dangerous remember ! )Get yourself the open source software, download it in to your laptop (if you have one ?) purchase a Tatrix cable

http://www.tactrix.com/

And there you have it, fault code reader and live data feed.

If you are suitably knowledgeable of the automotive arts, and computer literate, you can get other software such as ECU Flash and ECU Edit. And they can be nice little toys to play with.

But if you do that you have to fill out modified vehicle reports for your insurance company.

Personally, I use a laptop with all the necessary software, and that's my fault code reader and diagnostic tool. But then I also have more than 20 years as an Automotive engineer (retired from the trade now.), and experience of modding and chipping.

So I would have to say, laptop great tool, but unless you know what you are doing, don't go down the road of using it for anything other than reading codes. (replacement engines are not cheap !)

Hope this helps

Oh, I have attached a file of fault codes, which you can also find in the ECU area in Scoobypedia at the top of the home page of the SIDC website.

Good Luck

Hi all, I went out too the garage this morning and started the car and gave it a little rev and the management light has came on, It did go off after i turned the key on and off a few times and thought that was that but when i drove down the road a bit it came back on, its a wrx with a remap. also when i checked under the bonnet i noticed i must have left the oil cap on top of the battery when i was checking the oil last week.

No expence spared it said the guy done well getting all that work done for only 20 quid.

cracking photos so far guys looks like the weather was kind to you as well.

Great idea folks. I would be well up for that as this is my first subaru and would to learn more about fixing them myself.

When i bought my wrx last year it just had the ninja back box which sounded good but for the remap i kept the back box and replaced the rest of the system for a full after burner kit from scooby world it is a lot louder but only really when you put your foot down.

I thought about launch control but was scared about knackering my cluth but im well pleased with what ive got just now.

Whats it like with the launch control kev, i wasn't sure if i should have got it or not.

Good one mate just got mine done there last month what a difference it makes, whats the downshift throttle blip about ive not about that before.

Sorted barry, I would never of thought about the car being duel mapped or about trying the rear de-mister trick you learn somthing new every day. Big thanks mate.

no warning lights no noises barry its hard to explain, when i put my foot down it doesn't accelerate as good as it did.

Last night when i was over taking someone i thought the car had lost a bit of power, I had it remapped a few weeks ago and its been going great so this morning i took it out a run and it does seem to have lost power not sure what the problem is. Help needed still a bit of a subaru virgin not too sure how these cars work.

Just started to mod my wrx by fitting after burner de-cat system kept my ninja back box though also fitted walbro fuel pump and had the car remapped by andy forrest.Rear sti boot spoiler on its way this week as well, Next on the agender is a set of coilovers.

Im up for that you can't beat a good barby

You must have scared the crap out of those poor innocent drivers out for there sunday drive. I like

Thats me just back from andy forrest after my remap, The car drives like a train now pushing out 280bhp well pleased just now, The guy is a top bloke certainly knows his stuff.

Well done mate and congratulations too both of you.

Think it depends on the garage doing mot , bribery is an option

Tried that mate, the guy said there was a new thing came out at the start of january so there was no chance on getting me passed.

I have put a full de-cat system on my car but does anyone know if u have to change just the down pipe and the cat pipe or just one or the other for the mot.
