NEW FUEL PUMP RELEASED....
 

For those of us still under warranty this may help. Not sure of the results yet.

I'm wondering if the replacement will be offered in Europe... a phone call to the local dealers is imminent.

Not sure but its worth a try. I'm fairly sure with the right call a replacement pump can still be done as long as the issue still exists which we all know it does.

hmm, my 2013 has the chirps, and falls before the vin production. :popcorn:

Called my local dealer's service department and they're not aware of any warranty recalls regarding fuel pumps. They have asked me to get the car booked in for a check-up and they'll go from there.. I think best wait for Subaru to organise a warranty recall or wait until I am next at the service department.

those damn dealerships are slow and clueless..earlier this year i called my toyota dealership about the recall for the automatic fr-s regarding the ignition key where it may be possible to remove the ignition key without the transmission being in the "Park" position.

they had no idea about this recall even though they mailed me a notice about the recall ...they said they would have to talk to the service advisor first and see if any parts are needed and give me a call back...it doesn't require a part it just needs to be confirmed a certain cable is connected according to their repair procedure... and they never called me back

a couple months later i bring it in for service and give my service consultant the recall papers and say can you guys look at this...he said we weren't aware of any recall (i'm thinking it's been almost 3 months and you guys still don't know about this recall?)..but he passed it onto the mechanic and they marked it off as complete and all good...i knew it was good because i couldn't remove the key in any other gear than Park but i wanted them to officially document that the recall was take care of...they probably don't have a clue about this fuel pump tsb either but i'll call them just because i enjoy bothering them to do their jobs and earn their paychecks

Where's the Subaru TSB?

Keeping my fingers crossed..

I made my appointment for today. It's just to confirm it's chirping today. They said they don't have the new pump yet.

It isn't a "recall". The TSBs only tell the techs what to do if the car is presented with that issue not as a notice that the issue exists.

where did you find this TSB document? I looked on the web and couldn't find a central official site for scion TSB..where do you find these TSBs?

Hmm, maybe I will bring my car in soon. I'm still on the stock pump. Lots of crickets.

Well it appears the TSB is newly dated but the pump it self is not and didn't work.

Guess back to square one, again?.. Won't be a surprise if Toyota ended up pulling a "Samsung Note 7" case and just tell everyone to deal with it.. lol

I work for Toyota parts currently so this came straight from toyota thru TIS. The pump is new and would have to be ordered. Im in the southeast region and it shows we have only 1 available so its gonna go backorder regaurdless. And yes TSBs are not recalls so you would need to take a car in for inspection to confirm chirping exists before a replacement can be issued.

Dealer is saying the part number on that new tsb is not the one used for the newer 16s or 17s. That's a different part coming up.

This is correct...as I just confirmed it myself thru the Toyota parts catalog. The 13-17 all show to use the latest SU003-06089 number which is also showing to be replaced per the TSB to that new number in the bulletin.

The new part number on the bulletin has been in the system since July.

Back from dealer. This is a dead end. It is just a new part number on the same part and nothing else.

Nothing to see here any more, move along people.

Wankers!

My Crickets have not caught fire yet, so I'm not gonna worry about it till that happens...possibly down the road ? ...we'll see.

Aside: I have seen crickets catch fire.

I once worked on a movie starring an elephant running around in a swamp in Florida after escaping from the circus. Because what better place for a circus than a swamp. We had a bunch of 18 and 20 kilowatt lights set up to light up the fish camp where the circus was staged. When the sun went down, a cloud of mole crickets rose up from the swamp and swarmed our lights. Those lights get pretty hot, so the crickets would fly into them, catch fire and spiral smoking to the ground to land in a steaming pile underneath each light.

They smelled delicious. I wish I were kidding. The crew was talking about how good they smelled, but nobody was brave enough back then to try one.

Having spent time in Southeast Asia (Laos, Cambodia, Viet Nam, and Thailand), I can assure you many people eat crickets and consider them a treat. They taste pretty good as bugs go...

From what I see this definetly seems to be the case. I'm probably going to order one for stock here and compare them anyway.

Enjoy, a Beijing favourite! The little scorpions were still wriggling! Not tried them yet!!

Please let us know what you find. I may appear to want to dismiss any news but that is not the case. I just want to be sure that when or if they actually do something different it will work and not just be the same old thing rehashed yet again.

Just thought I'd share - my MY14 BRZ had crickets. I took it to the dealership 3 days after I bought it, they replaced it with the updated unit and no more crickets with Costco 93 and Mobil 93 octanes. Just recently made the switch to E85 at a Mobil and the crickets were back immediately at start up. By the time I got home they were quiet again.

TL;DR - new/redesigned pump seems to have fixed crickets for me at least.

Different fuel and temperatures have different results. It may not be the pump that changed you just hit on the right combo. E85 has been very rare in causing crickets so you have yet another variable in the mix. In order to say without a doubt that the pump changed anything you would need to run all different brands of fuel through it at varying temperatures.
I can make mine come and go at will by using certain fuels at specific times of year.

his fuel brings all the crickets to the yard

Had the "new" fuel pump installed today at Toyota.

No more chirp. I'm currently on Costco 91, which had the chirp before this new one.


Hopefully it's fixed, but I'ma give it a month or so before saying it's fixed.


2016 FRS

Let us know. Almost every person to get their pumps changed started out with "New pump no chirps" but the vast majority were back within a week.

Remember, you have to get the engine and pump HOT and you have to be running low lubricity fuel, like gasoline with 10% ethanol sold at most pumps in the US. Then you'll know if its chirping or not.

Here's a glimpse of the Subaru TSB# 09-54-12R, which is dated 9/27/16

Embrace the crickets. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Draw a wide line from Alaska to South Florida, via New York. I've fueled in all those US states, and Canadian provinces, and never heard a single cricket.

With forced induction, etc... for almost 30,000 miles.

I've always thought the "bad fuel" or "poor lubricity" argument was, at best, a lip-service band-aid for very poor manufacturing tolerances, and very poor material quality control.

Automotive gasoline has very low lubricity, and the variation between fuels is inconsequential.

Similar issues are evident all over the engine and car, from axle nuts to sealing surfaces. Why should the DI fuel pump be any exception?

Do you happen have a pdf copy or a full pic of the latest TSB revision? Curious about what the changes are compared to the last one.

I don't think it is lube related and not all the fuels that create them for me are "bad quality" but I do know without a doubt that if I go to any Esso station when it is 75 degree or more out I WILL have crickets. I can run just about anything else when hot and Esso when cool with zero issues but can turn them on just by using Esso when it is hot out.
