  1. Any luck replacing pcv valve and trying thicker oil?

     

    The PCV going bad is mostly on the 2.5L turbo motors. The real fix for this is replacing the block or piston rings.

     

    Thicker oil might help, problem is Subaru is really really against using different oil than what they want you to use.

     

    The solution is for someone to start a complaint with the NTSB and have Subaru extend the warranty like they did previously.

     

    If people don’t report it, nothing will be done. I remember on the 2009-2014 models same thing happened, the enhancement oil warranty wasnt extended until much later because people finally complained.

  2. Yes, this is an emission recall, the cat will rust and leak gas into the cabin. I'm dealing with Subaru right now because they don't have the parts to fix it it but this is a health concern as I drive a toddler in the car. The smell is awful, Subaru is giving me a work around as they don't have the parts yet. Will never buy a Subaru again to be honest, its been a recall for months and still no fix? This is a major concern, this is not something small, gas leaks are serious and my car has been smelling like this for over 2 years but they did nothing about it . Awful service
  3. Sorry for the late reply guys and I didn’t mean to write C02 lol

     

    So sulphuric acid smell is like a rotten eggs smell, this doesn’t smell anything like that. It smells like fumes, like maybe exhaust fumes.

     

    The car started burning oil a little bit, acceptable amount but problem has been going even before that.

     

    I’m thinking a leak in the catalyst converter or exhaust, I have a 2 year old and it’s starting to bother me so I’m going to take it to my mechanic tomorrow. The battery is old it could also be leaking as well

  4. Oozes class now :)

     

    I think the Limited wheels look pretty decent, however these are a step up again. Plus also the extra width helps to fill out the guards and makes the car look more aggressive.

     

    I can't remember are you running lowering springs denokarter or is this stock height?

     

     

    Sorry for the late reply. Been very busy . The car is stock height , no lowering suspensions or springs . Was thinking about lowering it but the wife drives it, might not be the best idea :lol:. Getting ceramic tints and exhaust tip OEM from subaru ( limited edition one)

  5. Don't do it. Buy a Nameless [ATTACH]237070[/ATTACH]

    To be honest i would get the Nameless for myself but its my wife's car and i don't want it to sound sporty or anything. I just want it to cover the empty ugly hole left on that rear valence. A exhaust tip with some stainless steel touch will surely do the job . Cant believe Subaru didnt make that stainless steel exhaust tip standard
