Anyone still waiting for the new service books now the intervals have changed. I have not seen mine since the 1k service and my dealer said it was not sweat, as I would be getting a new one since the intervals changed from 7.5 to 10 thousand. 4 Months later nothing (calls, dropping in have achieved zilch Anyone else waiting and for how long, or did you get yours quite quickly.

My dealer still stands by the opinion the service interval is 7500mls

Got mine back this Morning

After sending a letter confirming that unless I receive the book within 24 hours I would be changing dealership for servicing and the order for my new car would be going else where

that did the trick

Hassle them! mine took about 4 weeks.

And the dealer who says service interval is 7,500 miles... write to IM a ask them... sounds to me like the dealer is trying to get more work.

So let me get this straight, have you guys got cars that were bought on the 7500 mile time and are now going to only service them every 10K is this correct, if so should I be getting a new service book???

Andy, picked my motor last July and it came with the standard 7.5 K service book. Subaru then announced that motors from that period would only now need to be serviced every 10K or 12 months or what ever is the sooner, hence the service book reprints. This was confirmed by SGT Taplow to me, who by the way did not lose my service book - Not sure if they are classified as MY02's or 01's (when i picked up my first scooby on the 1st aug 98, it was classifed as a 99 model), Suggest if you have a bugeye, you should check with your local dealer

I have a my01 and received my new revised service book together with my old one with "superceeded " all over it an the " old " services are now stamped in the new book, only niggle is last service was at 15.000 ,garage says should really do the next to "bring in line" at 20,000 or warranty claim could be suspect

ADP

Mine came into the UK on the 1st of March 2001 with 7500 mile intervals required ofcourse, so I dont know, Ill have to contact my dealer

You giving a specific date when your car "came into the UK" makes me suspect it's an import. As I understand it the change to 10k was by IM so only applies to UK supplied cars.

bug-eyed wonder

In my case, car bought in Feb 2001. No new service book but a copy of the letter stating the new service intervals is stapled inside the original book.

I bought a MY01 WRX in December 2001 with the 7.5K service book. This was sent off to IM last week for a replacement and they said about 4 weeks for the new one.

Yep got mine back after about four weeks, but the previous owner bit has been wronglt copied, so looks quite funny now. I'll mention it at 32,500 miles or enxt March (if I haven't swapped it by then).

zilch

Anyone been stung with a major 7.5 K interval service not so long ago and do you now have to look at a further interim to stay within warranty ??? Wonder what the policy is ??????

well. lancasters of Pangbourne did my 15,000 service and then, when I came back to collect the car announced that the service intervals had changed and sent the service book off for 2 months - when it came back, the 15,000 mile service in the old book had the service sticker and the whole page had

"SUPERCEDED SUBARU UK LTD" in big blue letters.

the 15,000 mile service had been crossed out and changed to 20,000 by some helpful induhvidual in the old book - even though the car had only done 15,000 miles.

strangely enough, the new book is completly empty. My car is a my01 wrx wagon bought quite early on in 2001 - so I imagine that the new service intervals applies to all my01's bought in the UK.
