2007 STi Limited Hesitation

LtdPilot · 03-11-2008, 11:55 PM

So I have a 2007 STi Limited. What can I do to fix the problem without voiding the warranty or endangering the life of the vehicle?

ok... well give us some detail as to what is the problem with your car, and then maybe we can point you in the right direction.

Have you gotten the SOA reflash yet? If not, it is worth a try. Otherwise, there really isn't anything you can do that won't technically void the warranty. I also have an 07 and had the same problems. I went with the Cobb AP, Stage 1. If I am concerned about the dealer knowing, I will reflash back to stock when I bring it in. There are other options out there for EM, for me though, the AP was the easiest.

Their current map does a pretty good job of dealing with the 07 issues, but it doesn't 100% eliminate them. Rumor has it there is an update in the works. From my experience and what I have seen from numerous others in here, it has been a HUGE help.

Well said and sums it up

Is there a website that we can go to and check our vin number to see if the reflash has been done to our car?

Good luck with that! You just have to trust your stealerships tech's to verify if you indeed have the most current flash. IMO, just go out and by a Cobb AP and flash to stage 1 V1.04. Don't screw around and drive your car with the factory ECU map because over and over again it has been proven that it's a piece of sh*t, and will most likely lead to a not so happy engine in the long run.

Not that I know of. You'll have to talk to your dealer.

FYI, the latest Cobb map V1.04 is out and it is a improvement over 1.03

Have it loaded on my AP now! I'll have to wait until later today to install. Since this is a new map, you run the "Change Map" option, correct?

Again, I should have time to datalog, let me know what you guys want to see.
