Hey all,
The past couple of days I've noticed that the clock/trip computer display has been only working intermitently on my car. (No display at all sometimes) If I give it a tap it comes good, but the other day they clock lost it's time which was annoying.
I suspect that there's a dry solder joint in there somewhere.

Has any one had thiers out of the dash? If I pull it out, can the PCB be accessed easily to fix the problem?

Yeha I'd say there would be there Andy..

Is the car still under warrenty? just take it to them.. bugger mucking around with it lol.. that is what I do when there is problems hehehe

Cheers

Warranty runs out in Feb.
I'll give them a call about it, There's a couple of other things that I need to talk to them about too. Rattling cruise control switch, and recently got a bit of brake shudder.
Not sure if the last two will be covered by warranty, but I guess it's worth finding out about.

Damnz!!

Did you get the more cover warrenty? or did you just stick with the basic warrenty???

Got the Subaru assured warranty, which kicks in after factory runs out in feb.
That's another 3 years, but it's limited in what it covers.

Bit of a 'bump' here, but I had the same problem today.

I noticed it stopped working, so I gave it a tap and it came back before fading away for good. When I got home I pulled it out, but couldn't see anything wrong with it. I think it still functions correctly as pressing the 'Bright' button dims/brightens the dash lights.

Anyone have any ideas on where to get a replacement and a rough cost? I had a quick squizz on japanparts.com without luck. Might have to ring some wreckers. If all else fails I'll probably have to hand over a kidney at Subaru.


Cheers

I've found that my display doesn't turn on sometimes - turn off the engine, turn it back on and it's fine though.

Yep, i have the same problem too, it turns off every now and again, and usually a gentle tap will turn it back on.

I will check at my next service if this is under the extended warranty...

Rang a few wreckers today with no luck. Will have to hunt around Brisbane.

Priced one at Subaru, $337.55 (Part #: 85201 AG010).

Unfortunately mine hasn't come back at all, even with varying levels of persuasion with the fingers .


Cheers

I ended up getting mine replaced under warranty, haven't had a prob since.
I suspect that it had some dry solder joints somewhere in it, although didn't bother checking as SA replaced it
If you can handle a soldering iron, or know someone who can, it might be worth pulling it out and make sure that all the joints are okay.

or...
