08 Sti Sports sharp question
On the 08 Sti I have been told you cant select sports sharp until the car warms up by a few people. My wife's new Liberty STI has a blue light on the dash which until the car warms up, you cant select sports sharp, when the light goes out you then can. The salesman mentioned its the same as my 08 STI.
Problem is I have no blue or any other light to signify when I can turn on the S# and it lets me select it with the key on or any time after I start it, hot or cold. for those with an 08 STI can you please confirm: 1. you have a light that signifies when you can select S# 2. you cannot select sports sharp until the engine is warm if there isnt a light. I assumed that it selects sports sharp but runs in the lower mode until it is warm, wasnt aware of the light etc. Thanks Graham

American Dave can confirm this for his Liberty STi. I have even seen it won't let you go into Sport Sharp til it has warmed up. Same system for the 08 STi

Thanks Phizzle (& Dave).
My wifes Liberty sti does this also but my 08 WRX STI doesnt so before I send it back to be looked at want to confirm other 08 Wrx Sti owners have the light and cant select, which I may be missing for some reason.

Straight into sharp no problems, car is sold in Canada, going into sports sharp when engine is -10c you might have a problem
