Aside from styling changes, the 2006 WRX features 17 inch tires and a new engine. The old 2.0 litre turbo four-cylinder boxer engine has been replaced by a 2.5 litre turbo. The WRX comes in sedan and wagon versions. Automatic transmission isn’t available with the wagon.
Inside and trunk
Although the car rides low, getting in and out the front is easy; rear access is more awkward because the doors open so narrowly.

Tests/Procedures: 1. Question the customer. Check if he/she started the car, cranked the heater fan on full and went back inside as the car warmed up on a sub-zero morning. Engine temperature rise did not occur at the rate the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) expected. 2. Coolant concentrations of greater than 50/50 can cause this code. Tech Tips: This code will set if the heater system is pulling too much heat from the engine as it is warming up. Engine temperature rise did notoccur at the rate the PCM expected. 2 – Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor Confirmed Fix 1 – Coolant Protection 1 – Engine Coolant Level, Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor.
