WR1 Owners Club

Apart fromt he Driving Light button that Subaru are suposed to change, (instead of a sticker)

Is there any other problem they should address ?

I have had to change the windscreen wipers as the originals nearlly blow off the screen at 100+ in the rain which isnt no good to me at all.

Comming back from Longleat the other day, we had bagpipes playing at anything over 100 MPH as the air blows in gaps around front and rear windows.. does anyone else have this problem.

Im sure Subaru will sort these minor problems out, as i have allredy sorted out the Windscreen wiper problem allready.

LOL @ bagpipes Brian...I've had the same but only at 140 and over

Bag pipes
maxed out at the Scotish Highlands anthem which was about 130, when the noise was getting painfull.

Ill see if Subaru will sort out one of those trims which go round the windows.

at first i thought it was the wifie playing about with Clares flute, after another extra 15 mph we had a few more in the band

I GET THE SAME PROBLEM AFTA 120 MPH IN MEDIUM WINDS!!! ITS LIKE A HUM THAT JUST GETS LOUDER. GREAT EXCUSE FOR SPEEDING THOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...............;

SORRY OFFICER , HAD TO GO TWICE THE NATIONAL SPEED LIMIT TO SEE IF MY CAR HAS BEEN FIXED, IM SURE YOU UNDERSTAND ................IN YOUR SKODA!! LOL

BAZ.

Funny but after fitting the exhaust I can't hear anything at any speeds.

I get it in a strong wind at about 120.

Out of interest how much will the service cost?

It's an inherent problem with Subaru's as they have pillarless doors.
At those speeds you'll also be getting noise from the scoop, the mirrors and the wipers!!

Just turn the stereo up louder!!

Never had the wind problem in me ole Bimmer Coupe


Not sure how much it is yet mate, ill know pretty soon though.

Two words....................




























Build quality!!

That's why I put Subaru's cos most other pillarless ones are made of something more substantial than tin foil!!

mmm true cant expect to spend 30K on a car and it plays Bagpipes when going over 100MPH can you really

Ive had to change the wipers as well as they just Smeerd the screen at anything over 90 MPH !!

I knw what would have happened if i went back to the dealers regardign the Windscreen Wipers.....

" they are all like that sir"

Sort it yourself in this day and age.

I get what you're saying about the wipers, mine smear full stop though.
Seemed like such a pissy little thing to go back and complain about though.

true, need a parts van to equip the WR1 when you collect it

Its only 3 months since I told em about the light switch, so its probably not sorted yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You could also check the super bonded tax disc holder, the one they needed 8 hrs for it to set, cos mine has fallen off.

AND hows your driving lights set, mine dont show any further than headlights do, but for spotting roosting pheasants in the tree tops they are great.

D3ave.

ill have to check the driving lights tonight as.. believe it or not i havent taken it out in the Undercover of night yet !
