Lol, I would of assumed Subaru had all the tools needed to maintain their own boxer engines... but then again; the HPFP is a new concept for their boxers so...

Soon, I can go to any gas station.

First post!

I actually have a higher vin # (delivered 8/31). However, I still have the chirping... not a good sign.

Part number tends to be tied to functionality of the item, Subaru may source the oil filter from 10 different factories and sell as the oil filter for a range of engines under a common name, replacing every engine manual where the number is mentioned each time there is a correction would consume a lot of resources. Since the recall states that corrective action has been implemented on the production line, it implies that aside from regional stockpiles all pumps going out are of updated type. Also, at $250 a swap, its unlikely the old pumps will be utilized without remanufacturing.

By "chirp" I hope you mean this:

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmooGfYQxms"]Scion frs idle noise - YouTube[/ame]

The high-pitched "chirp" is what we are talking about here; it's been an on-going problem since the car was released...
Hopefully this TSB fixes it once and for all... (Not exactly counting on it though)

The other rapid "ticking" noise is normal (multi-port fuel injectors working away); hopefully you're not talking about that.

But anyways, if it is confirmed as the chirp for your car... then god, please have mercy...

jesperswe · 09-29-2012, 12:18 PM

^^ That's annoying. Wonder if my GT86 will develop this noise to :o

blu_ · 09-29-2012, 12:23 PM

It seems limited to the US because of our gas.

It is an odd comment but dealers say a lot of things that don't make sense

Spaceywilly · 09-29-2012, 12:53 PM

Looks like you need a torx socket and a 6mm hex wrench. Apparently they didn't have one of those.

blu_ · 09-29-2012, 01:01 PM

Hopefully This fix lasts and Subaru gets their act together. I want to get this fixed and the popping sound coming from the rear deck.

Little_Red_FR-S · 09-29-2012, 01:02 PM

I bought my FR-S last month and it started chirping around 300 miles. I called the dealership yesterday and I'm scheduled for the fuel pump fix on Oct. 16th.

jflogerzi · 09-29-2012, 01:13 PM

Please guys, when you do get your car "fixed" post if it did fix your issue
