Fuel Filter For '04 Sti

BluSuby · 01-27-2005, 09:37 PM

I'm creeping up on 30k miles and most know what that means! Service time. One of the service items is the fuel filter. It was a very easy job on my '02 WRX, but the Sti has me thinking. I remember when the Sti 1st came out many said there wasn't a replacement filter for it. I know it's in the tank with the pump, but do they have a replacement part for it yet?
I'm not letting this one slide after seeing the gas that came out of WRX's filter,

TIA,

Bryan

Bryan, Bryan, Bryan.........

Go to http://www.subaru.com/owners/care/sc...sp?pageID=2004 and LOOK at your replacement schedule. You change it a 60K not 30K. No you owe me $1 since I searched for you.

but it also states......in note 2:

When the vehicle is used in extremely cold or hot weather areas, contamination of the filter may occur and filter replacement should be performed more often.

Yes but eastern PA is neither extremely hot or extremely cold....
