Hi All,

About a 4-6 weeks ago, I experienced my first CEL on my MY06 wrx - entered limp mode and cruise light flashing just 50m from my house, so I took our commonwhore out instead that night, got home and did the 10 start reset so I would at least be able to drive it to get it checked out in the morning.

Rang Subaru the next morning and some Muppet advised me that doing the 10 start would wipe any trace of the error code (I was sure it would have been placed into an event/history buffer of some kind but he said no....) and he advised me to keep an eye on the car, if it were serious it would come straight back or would not allow me to clear it.

Regardless......the car has run fine for the past 4-6 weeks.

Last night was dropping my boss off after leaving our work Xmas do and another CEL and limp mode, just getting out of the car park (again like 50m from my starting point). Embarrassing to say the least, but I knew my boss had an ODB2 diag tool, so we got to his place (slowly) plugged it in and got the P2127 error above. Rang Subaru and this time the guy who answered was more than just a desk jockey and confirmed my previous suspicions regarding buffer and also advised that this didn't appear to be a serious fault and I have it booked in next week for a service anyway.

Can anyone shed light on the above error or had similar issue? I don't just want to grab my ankles next week and hope for the best.....

Also scared the intermittent nature of this problem will probably make it a pain to diagnose..and Subaru would more than likely just want to replace any related components to fix the issue....not worrying about the $$$ as its salary sacrifice....

Cheers

Kevin
