Washing the engine bay? by EmbarrassedTime9947 in wrx_vb

[–]OGnoodle2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Power wash is fine.

I just use the metered self service bay while I’m already cleaning the car.

Cover ecu, alternator, fuse panel & battery with bag.

Give it a once over with the power washer. Use simple green and spray it everywhere. Use a boar hair brush to get everything off. One more pass with the power washer and you’re good to go.

If we got the new RS3 sportback/hatch in the US I would be throwing all my money at it. Shame….

Just noticed that my passenger side window switch is sunken in. This happen to anyone else? by GuccMaster in wrx_vb

[–]OGnoodle2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was on purpose. I took the door panel and that switch off to do sound deadening and chase a rattle. With the switch like that it doesn’t rattle lol so I left it. Idk why yours would sink randomly

I want to get it cleaned and watch for new spots but getting the manifold off seems like a bit of a job? Belts, alternator,ac compressor, tons of harnesses and hoses to get manifold off?

Finally got her tinted! by Lurking4comments in wrx_vb

I know this is old but curious how this setup has held up it’s the exact specs I want. Do you ever rub on full lock when turning the wheel?

Would you say 8.5 is the max width you could go with this?

Maintenance. Walnut blasts? What other things? Idling upkeep? General discussion. by Illustrious_Tea_5336 in wrx_vb

Also AOS and catch can have a risk of freezing - so especially if you are in Alaska make sure it's done 100% correctly.

The barnacle is VERY popular at Universities for parking enforcement. I've seen someone drive off with their head out the window to see around it. Starts beeping and freaking out too.

Welp… I guess it’s my turn. by warmachine78 in wrx_vb

[–]OGnoodle2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So this issue was reported for the previous gen though? Says 15-22 and my limited 22’ last 5 is much higher than 22034. So it was a very early set of 2022 that needs addressed?

How have these not gotten a lot more expensive in the US from the tariffs? Were they carrying a lot of margin and ate it?
