All we have is a change in part numbers, which lack an associated description of the part. There is no verification of a change from N/O to N/C. The change in number could be for many non related reasons. I have hearsay evidence which contradicts what you have been told, so must leave the matter in abeyance. 
Whatever, thanks for the information, Trevor. |
Hi Trevor,
Yes, there is verification, from Subaru dealers worldwide! This is not personal opinion. This is not hearsay evidence. This is factual, numerical, unrefuted verification and proof.
Please do not misunderstand; I'm most interested in the fact that you and Phil have accurate facts with which to make logical and proper conclusions, thus the reason for posting. We remain fortunate that Phil has a passion for TCU programming, wanting to collect and explore all SVX TCUs. Phil is one of our greatest resources here, without question. I'm been in email and phone communication with Phil for many years. My family and I were guests at Phil and Belha's home in the UK four years ago. He has an open invitation to visit California. Yes, I'm most considerate of Phil's interest in this and in all SVX details, as much, but likely more, than anyone here.
I've asked a couple members with late JDM VTDs if their TCUs can be downloaded for Phil's use. I'm diligently pursuing data and facts to complete the record. Only then, once Phil has an opportunity to dissect late VTD programming, can a clear understanding of programming logic be established in relation to N/O and N/C transfer solenoids.
I would agree with you, that the change in part numbers, in-of-itself, is not proof enough. However, Subaru part numbers are universal.
The fact remains, late VTD transfer solenoid numbers ARE the same exact parts used in US boxes. These US parts have been dissected my many members. IT IS CLEARLY ESTABLISHED THAT THE LATE VTD PART NUMBERS ARE N/C PARTS, THE EXACT PARTS USED IN THE US. Unless you can prove that the part numbers on hand, received from Australian, Japanese, and American Subaru dealers are fiction, you should accept the facts presented and move onward, so that a clearer understanding in this matter will enable you to provide accurate advice to our members.
Verification for you must come from Subaru dealers via parts numbers. I can PM a VIN for a S3 if you would like to confirm the solenoid part number in this late application. I'm sure that you have access online to verify the US part number for a numerical comparison. Any US member could assist.
Based on the evidence, the fact that late VTD boxes are fitted with US-spec N/C solenoids must be accepted and established to fully understand the compatibility of parts, and/or programming, for all SVX markets.
Take care, Ron
