I took my BRZ in for some warranty work at the end of last winter, one of those issues was this honking noise. Wouldn't you know it, as soon as I brought it in the honking stopped. Turns out, the honking noise is VERY temperature (and possibly humidity) sensitive. I happened to bring the car in on a random 70 degree day. No dice. Got the car back and sure enough, it was mostly gone.

Well, it's winter again here in NY and almost as soon as the temperate entered the 40s the old honk came back. It seems to be at it's loudest between 30* and 45* but I haven't quite nailed down a pattern.

Anyway, I waited for a nice cold patch and brought it in. It took some convincing to have them try the master cylinder on the clutch but they did the work and that fixed my issue. I've had several days since in the bad temperature range and all's been silent. Love it.

Also had them tackle the crickets while it was in...new high-pressure fuel pump and now I don't know what to do with all of the silence. I'm going to need a better stereo.

Thanks again to everyone for all of your help!

How much did the fix cost at the dealership?
