FYI Engine Chirping Fix - Page 8 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Took mine to Kaimuki this past weekend for taillight leakage. Also meioned Chris, service writer recommended not doing anything for now. They couldn't reproduce my passenger window auto up/down from drivers side not working so didn't do anything about it. I guess that's one hastle about warranty & having to take to dealer. If it was like my other cars I'd just buy part and fix it myself.

I've got a little bit of water showing around the seals in the tail lights, but no fogging or anything. Is that normal?

I guess it doesn't matter for me - I'm installing the TOM's tails soon enough.

I had the droplets along the rim by the seals almost from day one, i think thats pretty normal.
The days of the last heavy rains/storm was when my passenger side finally leaked. It was obviously inside and by the ends of the rain there was almost 1/4" in the lowest part of the lens. Was driving around with the turn signal bulb loosened since and wouldn't you know it, it finally dried completely out the day before I took it in. It almost sounded like they wouldn't change it but you could see the water line inside the housing.

I had my drivers side window switch replace with the revised switch, one touch works every time now.

Guy told me you just need to hold it down longer. Kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it? I didn't want to make a stink about it. I'll maybe go back later, or go to another location. Where did you go?

Knock on wood. I've got about 500 mi on the new pump. Only chevron gas. No chirps yet. :p

Rougenite · 09-26-2013, 05:40 PM

Sorry, havent been here in a while, but my chirps are random, sometimes they happen, sometimes they dont. I fill up at the same station same pump lol. Did not put two stroke oil in it.

Shipwreck · 09-26-2013, 07:30 PM

I got the new pump about a month ago and last night they came back

SurfAndSand · 09-26-2013, 08:24 PM

Bummer. Just bring it back again. If they keep losing money to this problem, they'll look for a better fix sooner

3k in and always pumped Chevron since i took it out of the dealer with 4 miles on the ODO. So far no chirps

Ever since I swapped pumps I've only used chevron. Knock on wood - no chirps for about 1.2k mi.

Rougenite · 09-27-2013, 05:03 PM

Yeah I only put chevron gas in mine as well, I didnt get mine until later...when I filled up at a different chevron by Podium...
