Subaru Servicing...

Postby MaverickUK82 » Mon Jun 15, 2009 7:42 pm

What is the Subaru Power Check Service...?

Also, when servicing the WR1, do you have to do it a the mileage interval, or annual intervals, or is it whichever is sooner...?

Power check is a simple plug into your ECU by the dealer to look for faults!

"power check" is a bit decieving!

intervals as per mileage or annual whichever 1st :D

When I queried a "power check" at Crossroads Subaru where they were selling a WR1 at the time I was looking around, they told me it "verified the full 320bhp was still being produced".... at the time I thought it was BS..

I still think it's BS :lol:

most important thing is to simply change oil and filter. This is a simple DIY job too.

other stuff like fuel filter, fuel pump, brakes are pretty simple to do at home too, but need a tad more planning.

diff and gearbox oil can be done at home, but like the engine oil need to disposed of properly.

I can't remember the last time I took one of my cars to a dealer for a service.

How would a RR verify 320bhp? It would verify that the car performs on a RR and nothing else... This old chesnut!!
