I'd like to see if I can get more information on how I should proceed. I have some ideas already but wanted to get more info before I head down those routes.
Basically I have having an issue where the car would go into safe mode, due to the engine pulling timing (information subaru told me due to "an oversensitive knock sensor") The issue would go away if I reset the ECU, but come back after a bit of driving, limiting boost to wastegate pressure in all modes.
Subaru Calgary, the dealership I brought the car to is claiming it was how i hooked the boost gauge into the fuse box that caused the problem. That I was placing a greater amp draw allowed than the original, returning can communication failures related to the vdc and yaw sensor which would put my car into safe mode. Fuse boxes should prevent any extra draw by blowing out the fuse no?
They did inform me the car was pulling timing, and they replaced the knock sensor but the car would still go into safe mode. How am I to tell that it wasn't the knock sensor that fixed the issue, then they went about blaming my boost gauge for the issue so it wouldn't be warranty work?
