Common problems and easy repairs on a 2016 WRX STI

The 2016 Subaru WRX STI is diffuclt to maintain, with lengthy and complicated procedures. The air filter intake vent will need to be removed to access the upper radiator hose and the highbeam bulb on the passenger side, which is a tedious set-up. The wheel well lining will need to be removed to access many of the headlights, which won’t allow for reliable access. Reaching the petcock and oil filter may be a problem as they’re located behind a large panel underneath the vehicle that’s secured by various hard-to-reach fasteners.

However, the 2016 Subaru WRX STI has its upsides. The glove box disengages without a problem to allow you access to the cabin air filter. The spare tire and jack kit are packaged together, cutting down on the trouble of servicing a flat. The power steering fluid reservoir has very open access, allowing you to reliably monitor the fluid level.
