Over the last few months one of the tyres developed a slow leak - the pressure warning would come on and I'd have to pump it up every month or so. The tread was getting down to not much above the legal minimum so I bought 4 new tyres a couple of weeks ago assuming that this would fix the...
Have you checked the voltage on the car battery - should be a bit above 12 volts if it is in good condition? I think there is supposed to be a low battery warning on the dash but I didn't get one when my battery needed replacement some months ago.
Thanks - after I got a new battery my windows weren't working properly, so did this and it restored full functionality.
The mind boggles - I can hardly imagine the complexity of the software you'd have to write for the microprocessor that controls the windows in order to get bizarre...
I also saw stuff on the web about the legal action over excessive parasitic drain on some Subaru models, but as far as I could work out these did not include any Levorg models - but I might have missed something.
I've since bought a clamp-on ammeter (Kaiweets HT206D) to try to work out what the...
Does anyone know whether the Levorg normally has direct or indirect TMPS sensors? This

describes the indirect system as counting wheel revolutions and noticing when one wheel rotates faster, the...
Changing to LEDs sounds like a good idea.
But the problem prompted me to buy a clip-on ammeter and I'm surprised by the static current drain of the car. It seems to be about 0.15 Amps, even after waiting 10 minutes with nothing in use and all doors closed. If that lasted a week that would...
The time-out of the interior lights can indeed by altered using the view/edit functions in the centre of the dash, but as far as I can tell, that does not apply to the "map reading" lights above the front seats or above the front seat-backs supposed to be for back-seat map readers. These are...
I had the car checked by our local Subaru dealer who said that a map-reading light over the rear seats had been left on, which explained why the battery had gone flat in a few days.
For obvious reasons, we haven't had anyone in the back seats for the last two years and have not intentionally...
I have a 3-year old Levorg with no troubles before, but it has been about a week since we last drove it. And today it won't start as the battery is flat - down to 8.5 volts. I've seen some stuff on the Internet about earlier Suburu models having an excessive battery drain when the car is...
Thanks - I'm also in the UK with a 2 litre model (I didn't know there was any other). I was aware of the 5 digit code using the button on the tailgate and have set this up and tried it. What I wasn't sure about was the ability to start the car with a dead battery in the keyfob, I guess it's...
Sometimes when I stop the engine, but not always, the system chimes and puts a warning on the display "Access key battery low". When I first saw this I changed the key battery to a brand new one, then a second new one of a different brand (and checked its voltage, it's fine). But these...
