As previously stated, the letter in the middle designates the model year.

#E# is 2014
#D# is 2013

If you have a #D# in the middle of your VIN, you're good to go.

Just rolled over 500 miles on the new pump. Still very quiet. As stated before, the engine sounds different than before the new pump. I'll continue to update this thread.

Because you're an idiot.

See prior posts, and post immediately following yours that explain this.

I apologize if this was already asked,answered before or is just a stupid question....the Chirping due to the pump...if we experience this it should be covered by the dealer no? Again, sorry for my inexperience and the question....

My car is ready, I'll be picking it up after work and updating every 300 miles on the new pump.

Good question.

Everyone with a 2013, and some 2014's that don't have the latest pump, are eligible for the new pump replacement. Some dealers may try to deny those who've installed turbo's and superchargers, but even then those mod's shouldn't have an arguable impact on replacing a well known issue all FT86's have with the High Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP).

To get a replacement, contact your dealer. If they question it at all, print the TSB as proof for your claim.

My new HPFP just arrived, getting it replaced right now. Looking forward to the results!

It is a nuisance, if it doesn't bother you it doesn't have to be replaced, the Subaru TSB's states that there is no detriment to keeping the original pump.

Thanks for all the previous posts - the video to confirm that my "clacking" is the same as your "chirping", and the TSB. Mine didn't make that noise until more than a year in, or 14,000 miles. I brought the TSB with me for an oil change, explained the problem, and they have ordered the new pump. There are 67 pumps back-ordered before mine, but I'll get it eventually.

Normally, I'd be very uncomfortable bringing something like this up, or even going to the dealer service at all, but I came prepared and I think they were impressed.

Here is my printout just to confirm.

Yes... I know its early, but here is what it sounds like right after the install. I will continue to update after several miles are put on.
