SUBJECT:
Fuel Smell in Cold Weather
INTRODUCTION
Some 2002 model Impreza WRX (2.0L Turbo) may experience a fuel smell in cold weather (temperature < 14°F) from the rubber hose connector,
located under the intake manifold, between two direct fuel-feed metal lines to the injectors.
REPAIR
The changing of the pipe and hose size was adopted, starting with engine number 673467 to better align the two fuel lines. This was accomplished by
shortening the fuel pipe and lengthening the hose both by 30 mm. To complete this service procedure, you must replace the fuel pipe assembly and hose
as a set.
Follow the service procedure in the appropriate service manual to remove the intake manifold from the vehicle.
PARTS
Replace the pipe and hose as a set.
