| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On cold days i get a strong fuel smell in the cabin. if you look at the lower part of the intake manifold you can see yellow stains from where fuel has leaked as well as displacement of grim from areas below the fuel hose. i have researched this issue and it is common with my year vehicle yet subaru has not issued a recall despite issuing a service bulletin (#09-36-03). in this bulletin it states that the replacement of a fuel line and hose is needed to correct the problem and partial disassembly of the engine is required to make the fix. it also states that this fix is required to achieve better alignment of the fuel lines. *jb |
