I think its a bit strange that your speedo just suddenly stopped working if there's no wires coming from the transducer! I'm sure the Tech's can read a workshop manual and figure it out, at least I hope so.

Booked in at subi next thurs but the guy doesnt like my chances of it getting fixed because all the mechanics apparebtly only know 2000 onward


I just want to say, as someone that works at a dealership, that the service advisor saying they probably wouldn't be able to sort it really is unacceptable in my opinion. The Tech's may not know everything about every single car Subaru ever produced, but they have access to workshop manuals and have direct contact with the manufacturer here in Aus, and to FHI through Subaru Aus. Plus they can contact other dealerships in Perth for help. Being positive towards customers would go a long way.

We still have workshop manuals for Datto 1600's & G60 Patrols at Giants......The Service Advisor you spoke to must be a NEWB.
