**** poor reliability from the TDI. **** poor service from the dealership. And no satisfaction when escalating the problem up to VWoA.

 

I see, glad i asked. Hope your enjoying your scoob

 

This is what I have done
Roof Spoiler
Hood Deflector
STI 19mm RSB
5% tint
Yellow fog tint
Halo Purple White bulbs for highs and lows
Rally Armor Flaps
Drag Wheels in gold
Muffler Delete (turn down tip)
Grill painted black
Removed back piece of grill(colder air) MPG+
Roof Spoiler
Debadged

Removed snorkus but put back on
-A little louder but MPG went down
Magnaflow Muffler welded on but replaced by delete
-Wanted to be louder. Will put back on for Dealer/warranty stuff

Waiting for springs. Companies keep saying 2 weeks when I contact them.

 

Can you please elaborate on this? What specifically did you remove? How much did your MPGs improve?

 

Shouldnt you get more power/Throttle response over MPG if your getting colder air?

Oh did you get time to vinyl your headlight 12imprezasl? Really looking forward to how it looks.

 

Yeah, I second this sentiment.

And oddly enough I am also a recent TDi deviorcee. The 2009+ CR diesels are seriously bad.

 

And how did your TDI fail you?

 

hah I think we traded pm's on tdiclub. found metal in ff at 40k service. took to dealer, got confirmation of metal in there, few days later metal dissapeared, per mechanic. also algae appeared...

also "funny" thing happened, they said no yours hasn't failed YET, here's one that failed, showed me same exact car as mine, with shavings all over the damn place. I was trying to avoid that, and seems like I have haahaha!!

many tdi weirdos advise that a little metal is ok in there. I'm like have fun with that!

 

I found the plastic steering wheel on my 2012 Impreza Sport Premium to be too thin and too slippery. In addition, the grooves that Subaru molded into the steering wheel digs into my palms and fingers, which gets uncomfortable (especially on a road trip).

I decided to install a Wheelskins leather steering wheel cover. Here's the result:





Now the wheel is thick, grippy, and I don't feel the groove anymore!

If you decide to do this yourself, I suggest ordering the cover from:

Wheelskins Leather Products Main Page

The price at this web site is cheaper than the official Wheelskins site, and the proprietor of this site (Don) is very helpful and customer focused.

I installed my cover using the Baseball Stitch technique, which Don documents very well on his web site. If you tell Don that you plan to use this stitch on your cover, he will send an extra roll of thread and a 2nd needle (the baseball stitch requires twice as much thread as the standard stitch shown in the Wheelskins documentation).

I bought an Original Wheelskin, in black, which matches my Impreza's interior very nicely. If you have the same wheel as me, then you want to order the 14-1/2" x 4" size. Installation took me approximately 4 hours, using the baseball stitch. I'm sure the basic stitch would take considerably less time, but wouldn't look as nice (IMHO).

Hope this helps.

 

my dad has a tdi but i see the reg jetta all day at work and almost every car has a stripped oil pan no matter wat year it is.
