So IF the new ECU is the correct fix for the CEL/SL issue, there's a strong possibility my car will be back at the dealer in xxx KM. I didn't ask for the specific code (P0019/18/17...), will do that on Friday.
The new parts have been ordered today, arrival on Thursday, so if all goes well, I should have my car back on Friday. So I've only lost three days, not bad imo.
Rental car is still the Corolla AT (loool).

The cel will come back after the cam/valve replace. Reflash was the fix for mine so far. My car spent 17 days in shop for repair only to throw cel 15 miles out of the shop. Open a case with Subaru/Toyota immediately to ensure proper procedure and they may advise your dealer to not repalace hard parts as they publicly aknowledged this is not a "mechanical" issue
Ps yay Belgium, my maiden name is Savoir
