Read Defrost – Not so defrosty
Well, I am back in the saddle and wouldn’t you know it, its super cold. In the morning, I gotta scrape me some ice of the windshield to get going. Today was a bit colder than has been in the last 2 days. I scraped the windshield, but though going Id put on the defrost to get the back window defrosted. Yes i am lazy.
Off i go driving, 5 minutes in, Nothing, not a thing, its as if the defrost button was not even checked. i pressed the button 3 times (its on a timer) NOTHING.
Then i blast the heat up, and point the vents towards the back, boom instant meltdown. I wonder if my defrost is defective, I swear our other car defrosts faster.
Anyone else have that issue with their wrx 265?
Oh one more thing, their is a rattling noise coming out of the engine, sounds like something is lose and making a crackly noise, I gotta figure that out as well, will keep you posted. I wonder if having it parked for so long hurt the car.
Rear Defrost works well on mine. Sorry to hear about the engine rattle. Thank goodness for warranties
My new 09 WRX has a problem with the rear defroster as well. It mostly works, except the 4th trace down was DOA. Took it to the dealer, and find out they need to subcontract it to an autoglass company to work with the factory provided tint. Other than this one issue, I can’t complain about anything else with the car.
