Could someone explain this? WRX STi

Recommended Posts

Looking to buy this car - its a 2006 STi. I haven't seen the car in person, but this is an image showing the dashboard with various lights apparently flashing (please see image):

Wondering why the following are are lighting up:

-Engine light

-Oil light

-"R. Diff Temp."

-DCCD

 

The only description I've had so far is "There is a engine check light due to exhaust modifications." Not sure what kind of exhaust system it is.

 

Thanks

When the key is in the "on" position but the engine has not been started all of the lights are illuminated to test their function. That is the case in the picture you linked. When the engine is running the lights 'should' go out.

 

I highly recommend if you are wanting to buy this modified car and you know very little about it, that you get a pre-purchase inspection done by a mechanic familiar with modified Subarus. If you don't know what you are buying it could cost you a lot more money in the future.

Would be vary cautious man, I purchased my WRX that had "easy fix issues" and turned out I had to spend another 4k on it.

 

Get someone to check it out for you as there could be underlying issues. guess its pretty easy to blame a few mods to cover up the reason the lights are on.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
