I was at a stoplight and started playing with the dccp. I switched it to manual and played with a the **** a little bit. Then before the light turned green I switched it back to auto and started to drive through the intersection. I was not driving it hard at all. When i shifted into 3rd the car made a loud noise and died. I tried to restart it and it wouldnt stay on. The check engine light and oil light came on and stayed on. I have only put 300 miles on it since i bought it 3 weeks ago. It has 9300 miles on it and it is totaly stock. What could have broken? It is sitting at the dealer becuase they couldnt diagnose it untill today. I hope its something easy so i dont have to go long with my sti.

 

Don't think it had anything to do with playing with the DCCD.. Maybe you're low on oil.. Buying a used car anything could be wrong

 

It had oil and it was used car certified from a subaru dealer. I know that doesnt mean anything but i was just wondering if anyone knows what it could be.

 

bring it back to the dealer

 

ill buy it off of you for a good price

 

the guy that owned it before me put N20 on it. I am in limbo becuase the car was used car certified from a subaru dealer with the factory warranty still on it. Subaru has said they wont warranty it. The dealership has said they will fix it. I dont know if i want it without the warranty.

 

If Subaru knows there was nitrous run through it that should void an previous factory powertrain warranty.

If you got another "used car" warranty when you bought it, I would take it back.

 

could be out of gas

 

So do you know what is wrong with your car now? Anything broken in the engine? thanks

 

subaru has to honor the warrenty or certified subaru claim.
either the dealer or the SoA.

 

??? They don't have to honor anything. If a dealer looks under the hood and can show that your modification was the cause of the broken part, your stuck paying for it. NOS adds oxygen to the mixture (Nitrous Oxide), if you don't inject a proportional amount of fuel, you run lean. Lean mixes = high temperatures = a broken engine.

Don't get me wrong, I am not happy about it but I have to accept it. I have a STI with a full intake and exhaust, fuel system, reflash, FP Red Turbo, FMIC, Tein Flex Suspension, Front and Rear Sway Bars. I don't have a chance at getting that car warenteed.

 

Since he bought the car used and Subaru knew this he would of had to sign something I would think.

 

since you only have 9300 miles i'm guesing it's a rescent model? so factory warrenty still applies. Which means unless you signed something that said all factory warrenty is voided they still have to pay for it.

it doesn't matter what was done to the car before.

depdivr - of course if you take your car like that with all the mods Subaru has all the right to deny your warrenty but not for Venom, supposing that he didn't do any serious mods in short time he had the car

We all know when we mod our cars we play with fire. no pain no gain.

 

the dealer took my 05 sti back and gave me a deal on a 06. i have 725 miles on it and i cant wait to get that 1k so i can step on that ****.

 

good for you. congrats and happy riding
