    Hi all, I’m new to the forum and am having an issue that for the life of me I cannot figure out. I bought the car about a year ago (2017 WRX Premium) and as long as I’ve had it it’s stalled. Here’s how it normally goes, I’ll give it a good push, accelerate a lot, keep it in high RPM and if I...

    I just installed new pads, rotors, and coilovers on the car. After a whole day of work, test drove around the block and there is a constant rubbing sound (almost sounds like sandpaper/grinding) coming out of the front left wheel well. Could be more than one wheel well, but I'm by myself so it's...

    Hey all, I am new to this forum site. I have heard good things about this site as my friends have had lots of help here. My stock 17 WRX 6spd MT just started having a strange issue. Intermittently, it will just start building peak boost at low throttle input in 2nd and 3rd gear. It doesn’t...

    Yesterday, I installed some LED footwell lights in my 2020 STI. They work perfectly, but now all of a sudden when I turn on my car, i get a message saying “MFD needs to be checked” on my multi-function display. In addition to this, my AC controls don’t work anymore so I have no AC. I’m thinking...
  15. General Maintenance, Troubleshooting & Accidents.
    When in boost I hear a loud groan coming from the engine bay. This could be linked to the code that got thrown on the other day (PO244) for turbo wastegate solenoid. Light turned off and back on, I think it may come on because I am overboosting (new to stick shift) which I read on another forum...

    The radiator cooling fans on my '09 are not turning on and my car is overheating when idling as a result. I can get them to turn on by taking a screwdriver and flicking them in the direction they're supposed to turn, but they won't turn on on their own. This seems like the motors for the fans...

    Was out of state for a month and maybe accessport drained the battery. Got to the car and did a jump start and wanted to crawl home (2 hour drive). After about 1.5h in the drive it suddenly lost all power. Throttle wouldn't respond and it just came to a stop. Tried to jump start it a few times...
