    TDI tuning box (or equivalent) on 1.6 Levorg - questions

    There are companies out there now who can flash the 1.6 Levorg from 168 PS to around 190PS which is close to the limit of the CVT gearbox. At the time when I had mine, that service was unavailable, and although I liked my Levorg, like you both, I felt like the CVT gearbox and the suspension set...

    Wanted (If such a thing exists?) Shallow boot underfloor tray to allow space saver wheel to be stored

    I fitted a full sized spare alloy wheel with the tyre in mine. I had to remove that foam storage kit, obviously. But I was unable to bolt the alloy wheel down securely. But then again MOT wise, no inspector went looking for a spare wheel under the cover. I left it in place for the next owner...

    Curiosity. In Europe we use 95-99 octane petrol, Japan uses up to 100 which is what is recommended for the WRX/STI versions of Subarus. De tuning the cars mean that they don't produce the full power as listed in say Japan or Europe. The 2.0 turbocharged Levorg is rated at 285 bhp if my memory...

    Is that a 2.0?

    Looking for a Levorg

    The 1.6 version of the Levorg is definitely chain driven, and I suspect that the larger cc engines would be as well, how old is the manual you got? Someone on this forum should be able to confirm as to whether the JDM turbo Levorg is chain or cambelt driven. If I was a gambling man I would hitch...

    Levorg in Jamaica

    I don't have mine anymore. The PCP deal was up and I let it go. But given the opportunity if another bundle of cash comes my way again I'd get either another 1.6 GT preferably in Steel Blue, or a grey import 1.8 or 2.0 WRX or STI version as a hobby car. The 2.0 N/A Levorg that Subaru replaced...

    Hopeful from the UK

    It's still MPH here, as well as liquids in metric. After all, the government can't have us knowing how much we actually pay per gallon for our petrol and diesel, can they? ;)

    Auto headlights

    My dealer in the UK said that it wasn't adjustable when I asked them.

    Transmission change

    I think that you'll find out that the gearbox bell housings are different sizes. Apart from that issue, it's the engine that dictates power output, not the gearbox. I think that you're under the impression that if you use the 2.0L sourced gearbox on your 1.6L Levorg, it will increase the power...

    Levorg Type A C D ??

    I'm suspecting that it denotes equipment specification that is standard safety fitment, not optional extras. I'm thinking specifically the eyesight system. Even my 2017 registered FB16 Levorg never had it, possibly because it was manufactured before August 2017.

    Idoing / climate change swap from JDM headunit ?

    You've really got your work cut out with that problem. To cut a long story short, I had a Mazda 6 with a stereo problem similar to yours. I broke mine and got a US one that wouldn't hook up and give me use of all facilities. You'd probably be better off trying to source an adaptor / converter to...

    Levorg in Jamaica

    Hi, nice to hear that there's another Levorg arriving on the shores. I found out from the DVLA that my old Levorg hadn't been written off, the current owner had the registration changed to their own private plate. That's nice to hear. I'm off to Jamaica later on this year and could possibly be...

    New Member and MPG query

    I had the 1.6 GT UK spec Levorg, ex Subaru staff car fully serviced by Subaru until traded in. I kept all of the fuel consumption figures for it and my usage was mainly urban with the occasional run out of town every couple of months. Around town on warm days, 23.64 - 33.30 mpg varying on 95-99...

    Levorg in Jamaica

    Hi, I wouldn't know anything regarding that to contradict my cousin, he probably goes to some town large like Kingston on a regular basis to see them whereas I visit Jamaica every 2-3 years and don't so I'm guessing that if any Levorgs are sold out there it's in the major towns like Kingston...
