Ben_G - BRZ - 6041XX - 47,000 KM (29,000 mi) - Canada - Scheduled for warranty repair.

CEL/SL light came on. No idle problems, but car felt sluggish for about three days beforehand. Took it in and it was diagnosed immediately as needing a new timing cam sprocket. (we'll see what the work order actually says when I get back into the dealership).

Car is still drivable, but timing seems to be SUPER retarded.

Going in for warranty service next Tuesday.

Dealership reset CEL/SL, but came back on within 10km of driving.

Will post on outcome later next week.

UPDATE - So it was a P0016 code that was thrown. Dealership tried first to replace cam sprocket, but that didn't resolve it. Dealership then replaced ECU, which has seemed to make it better. Car pulls hard again and motor seems to respond better to throttle inputs.
