That's the plan if I have to. it can be difficult to source a used engine around here though. I will keep my eyes open, since I do still enjoy the car. But if the repair may likely cost $13K CDN, and...

Smart move. I really shouldn't have got it done (my gut feeling was to not do it), but I kept getting notices from Subaru to get it done. If I had read this forum last year before getting the work...

I've had my BRZ's used oil analyzed done for years and haven't had any concerns come up at all.

Then last year I had the recall work done. I was worried about the outcome if it hadn't, since I...

I just had my recall work done within the last year. Yesterday I started hearing a knock while I was driving. I pulled off the side of the road, the car lurched and I turned it off and it wouldn't...

Did you visually inspect it, or was that just what the shop said?

I still find it hard to believe if these two issues are so tightly coupled that they wouldn't just replace the ECU and sprocket...

My Subaru shop just called to say that the ECU replacement resolved the P0016 CEL code. Going to grab my car now

Now I'm kind of regretting paying Subaru over $1200 to fix this when an $80 ECU swap might have resolved it to begin with.

Ah well...

I noticed that the gear indicator in mine disappeared when I had ECU issues (or replaced the battery). Unfortunately I bought the car with it turned on so I have no idea how the previous owner turned...

That's good news! Another example that I've read on here where changing the ECU fixed the CEL.

Curious.. Is your odometer ok after the change?

That's good to know. Thanks for sharing!

Playing the devil's advocate... Coming from a computer science background, I still feel that this is an ECU design flaw. Excluding the circuitry,...

For what it's worth...

I finally heard back from Subaru Canada and they will cover the ECU replacement under good-will warranty (after being just barely 4 months out).

I'm still not happy that...

That's true. On the bright side, the worst thing it could be now is an ECU swap, which I can do for ~$80 :) and I can sleep at night knowing I can clear the CEL and still drive.

Come to think of...

1. I assume there was a typo with that one as well. They *could* be referring to multiple codes, but I'm thinking it's a typo since P0018 is basically the same thing as a P0016, but on the opposite...

It appears that they used the 13320AA021 sprocket.

$1200 later, the CEL is still throwing up a P0016 code. The actual tech mentioned that he spoke with Subaru tech line and they insisted the ECU...

Agreed.. It's rather disappointing. I love the car and haven't had a single mechanical issue since I bought it in 2012.

There's nothing I've neglected about maintenance and even had a Used Oil...

Subaru first recommended the hot oil flush, but I was skeptical of it since I've...
