Heck, I'd take a firm "yes, this is a problem, we are working on a solution, please hang on" from Subaru reps. This "it's a normal sound" annoys me almost more than the sound itself.

So here's my question, could whatever caused the chirping had caused any problems with another area of the engine? I had heard it was an unlubricated washer, but some things aren't adding up. I don't know if there was ever a confirmed consensus on what with the assembly was causing the noise. The TSB is certainly vague on the specific cause, and i don't dare ask the Toyota techs...

Now it's my turn to play "I think I remember last week...". Pretty sure one owner reported a VIN higher than the 9026 cutoff in the TSB and has the chrips. Yup, page 6 of this thread, reply #115. |

Oh I'm not going to worry about it, if I get it I get it. been going for test drives in the dealer's car almost every week since I ordered it 2 months ago, so I'll definitely be enjoying this car every day.

Not sure if this has been asked already, but could you theoretically take your BRZ to a Scion dealer to have it fixed?
Sorry, running on a tight schedule, didn't have time to run through all the previous pages of this thread. Thanks! |

Unfortunately, no, that would be too easy. It has been asked, and I am pretty sure that your warranty terms (look them up) say that any warranty work has to be done by a Subaru dealer. Now, you could go purchase the part from a Toyota dealer, but you will have to pay full price for it, and you could void that part of your warranty by installing it yourself.

So Paul the Service manager just called and let me know that there is also a TSB in relation to the Fuel Pipe # S-SB-0023-12 he wanted to waint until he got the parts related to the Fuel Pipe to replace the Fuel Pump, His Master tech thinks they are related or symbiotic. So he is bringing me my car and picking up the rental in 10 minutes. I appreciate the service they are affording me. To this point Scion of America should make sure every Scion owner is treated with this type of attention to detail.

Sucks they waited until now to issue the tsb. With my car it doesn't chirp nearly as often with the cooler ambient temperatures. It's going to be difficult to reproduce the noise at the dealer on demand this time of year.

Just drive it hard, revving high, before you get to the dealer. That'll scare those crickets out.
