Failure After J02 Recall - Discussion Threads
Quote:
Zerex Asian is basically the same thing as Subaru Supper Coolant but half the cost. Same manufacturer even. Zerex Asian comes in red and blue but I was only able to find blue at Autozone. So basically you just put in a red version of Subaru Super Coolant. You should be fine. |

Thanks for the reassurances re/ the coolant. Now, I've got another job for you all... just drove my newly returned, new-engined car to a gig tonight... total of maybe 35 miles since getting the car back.. and the check engine light came on.. then the cruise control ceased functioning. Good times. Back to the dealership tomorrow. Had the car for a total of 36 hours. Who could ask for anything more? I'll read the code tomorrow after I unload my gear. Anyone want to place bets as to what code(s) I'll get?

OCV/camshaft code. Or a P0300 with one occurrence and no stored data.
And that stinks. Last thing you want to deal with, after dealing with all that. |

I finally got an appointment to get mine done at my regular dealer. Would you believe the soonest they have available is July 15th! They said they're doing 3 cars a day and only have two techs and two bays to dedicate to it so they're super backed up. When I asked if there was any way they could get to it sooner they said no because they need a few bays that they can make some money in. This is apparently eating up a fair bit of their resources and they're none too happy about it.

Was told a local Toyota dealer messed up an FRS, they somehow wrecked a head, cam, etc while doing the recall.

Got off the phone w/ the service manager this morning, and will be taking the car back (again) in a moment. In addition to the check engine light and disabled cruise control, of MUCH more concern is the very loud tick/knock at idle. Service manager told me, "Yeah, I guess we're going to have to order the valve shim kit." Ummmmm..... you'd think they'd want to check out the new engine installation a bit more thoroughly (test drive was less than 30 miles) before releasing it. Am I wrong?
I tried to read the codes this morning using my BAFX bluetooth OBDII reader, Samsung Galaxy Tab S2, and Torque Lite, but it wouldn't connect. Works fine on my other cars. Pairing is fine, and it cycles through all of the possible OBDII connection protocols, but I get an "ECU Not Connected" message when I try to read the codes. Anyone else have this problem? I read on the Torque Lite description that the free version might not work on some Subaru products. I don't need all the gee-whiz stuff of the Pro version, but would fork out the $5 if I knew that's what the problem was. Can anyone confirm?

Like I said, pairing is successful and I've used it on my other cars successfully; I know the drill. Tried it with the ignition switch on and car running, ignition switch on but car not running... waited for minutes, not seconds... red light on dongle is on, yellow lights show activity, on-screen status markers in right hand corner are steady blue for phone icon and dongle icon, but pushpin and car icon flash constantly, and left hand status messages cycle through all protocols searching for the right one for the car.. just never finds it.

At least one seems fine
I read all of the postings, and I still took the chance. 2013 BRZ, no tune, no engine mods. About 43,000 miles, and the car ran well.
All stories don't end in failed engines, or bad experiences with a dealer, and I wanted to share mine. I dropped off my car on Thursday, 4-18-19. The dealer said it would be ready Monday, 4-22-19. My car was ready, as committed, and was fine. It was obvious the engine had been out of the car, I could tell by OEM markings on hoses which were re-oriented, clamps were lined up different, and two things were corrected (that were an issue before I brought it in) with the air intake and the sound generator. No damage to the car, everything was clean except for a few spots of Super Blue from the refill. The car had brand new oil, nothing in it, and the car had 8 more miles on it than when I brought it in. The car started and ran fine, and may have been a little bit quieter than when I brought it in (less ticking). I drove it 70 miles after pick-up without any issues, and checked the oil when hot at home. Still, completely clean. I checked all fluids involved in the recall the next morning, cold, and everything was fine. I used the car throughout the day, and put another 70 miles on it, some of it very spirited, without any issues. Checked fluids while hot, and everything was still fine. I'm driving it regularly now. I know failures can happen later, but I feel that my work was done well, and I plan on getting my tune next week. If anything happens, I'll update this thread. |
