  1. if you vta without a tune you run rich - you risk running higher egt's , and if you have a cat in your uppipe, you can melt that, sending pieces flying into your turbo.... dont ask me how i know ...
  2. managed to get this done the mini ratchet set was perfect for removing the actuator it was a pain in the ass espically to reach the last screw in the bracket its also a good idea to mark the actuator arm position in relation to how its positioned in the black box i didnt, and ended up having to open the box up 5 times to finally get it all to line up correctly once back in... ill say this... it takes quite a bit of finesse to get everything back into place all at the same time the actuator arm has 2 other arms that must go back on their respective tracks, while lining up the black box with the bracket and the car all in all it took me about 3 hours, which included the trip to the store to buy the mini ratchet set thanks for all the help -awd
  3. quite a bit of valuable information in this thread i need to get a mini ratchet set in the meantime my HU is out as are most of the panels since i have a custom double din made by HCA and not regular HU its a bit of pain to plug it all back up, and sort out the actuator just to remove it in another 2 weeks and reinstall it again when my replacement dash finally comes in from subaru(been waiting 3 months) im going to try the toggle key method and see if i can find it that way as soon as we get some better weather otherwise ill have to wait a couple weeks untill my dash is replaced before attempting this Without my headunit ive been hearing it clicking away while im driving. and its a million times more audible then when its packed away behind the dash and without radio, its driving me crazy thanks for all the help guys
  4. so this is behind the panel thats to the left of my glove box and to the right of my shifter?
  5. thankyou for the link Scooby2.5 i followed the instructions... now i just need a pic with a giant red circle showing me what to pull out, now that i have this whole thing apart. The pannel to the right of my shifter is off and the glove box is hanging down
  6. hay fishbone can you please do a proper walkthrough for a vent actuator replacement
  7. thanks for the concern ssbtech Im located in Canada i did contact subaru of Canada and they are assisting me through this dealer contacted me, they said they were able to source a used dash .... hopefully it all goes well from here moral of the story.. always take pictures , be firm and pray for the best
  8. just had a horrible experience brought in my 05 for airbags they damaged my dash in the corners and scuffed my steering wheel when i pointed it out to them they said bring it back and their interior guy will try to fix it i agree to let them try and fix i bring the car back in and they buff out my steering wheel and try to fix the corners of the dash, steering wheel looks alright, corners arnt perfect but i can manage as its not obvious but upon further inspection i notice they had cracked my dash right above my speedometer when i pointed it out they said they would glue it back together as repair work i told them that i was unhappy with that and they would need to replace it because it would look as if it was glued back together... they said they would not replace the dash and then they went on to say that i could not prove it was them that cracked my dash and that i could have cracked it myself never have i ever had such a frustrating experience with anyone ever before... if the dealerships break something they usually take care of it you get a phonecall saying it will be longer then expeceted this stops the customer from getting angry but this is not what this tech did... he reinstalled it as if nothing was broken, and prayed that i didnt notice. When i did notice, the managers instant first response was that "you cant prove it was us" .... wtf... so shady... they then went on to say its a 10 year old car and you cant expect us to replace a new part on an old car so first you damage my car and then you insult me by telling me my car is old too old to justifty new parts ... even though you caused the damage when performing recall.... take pictures of everything do not have faith that techs will take good care of your things and if they do end up damaging your things they will go to great lengths to cover their own asses they will try to solve the problem without incurring any expense if possible which makes sense (so make sure you have proof) TL;DR airbag recall techs broke my dash and denied it.. offored glue as fix told me car was too old to warrent replacement parts 05 lgt 122k miles make sure you are very clear with them about damages and expectations go over the car and any damages before and after and take pictures and do not drive off the property without documenting everthing
  9. today i was sent back without doing the airbags, they said this was due to having gauges and aftermarket head unit they were unwilling to work with anything that is not stock i was advised to remove everything and re then book an appointment
