Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 2002 model impreza wrx-2.0l experiences a fuel smell in cold weather. took it to dealer courtesy motors subaru-chico ca. the service manager said he didn't smell anything so i left mad, but i left. since then, subaru has issued a technical service bulletin (tsb) regarding this problem and i still can't get it fixed. it's from a rubber hose connector located under the intake manifold between two direct metal fuel-feed lines to the injectors. (straight off of the tsb) this should be fixed by subaru or there should be a general recall from fire and fumes raw gas leakage. *nm
