Subaru WRX Puspakom Inspection Guide Malaysia
The WRX must pass Puspakom B2 or B5 inspection for roadworthiness certification required during ownership transfers. Key inspection areas include lighting, brakes, steering, suspension, tyres, and emissions. Modified WRXs face stricter scrutiny — non-standard exhausts, tinted headlights, and suspension lowering beyond allowable limits are common fail points. Ensure the vehicle is in good mechanical condition with no warning lights active before inspection; a pre-Puspakom check at your workshop can identify and resolve issues before the official inspection.
Subaru WRX Puspakom Inspection Guide
- WRX Puspakom modifications: modified WRX may face issues — Puspakom checks for illegal modifications; suspension lowering more than allowed, exhaust noise level, tinted windows (must meet VLT requirement); know what is legal before presenting for inspection
- WRX emissions at Puspakom: FA20DIT turbo emissions — ensure no boost leaks and turbo is functioning correctly before test; CEL from boost-related fault = emissions test may also be affected; fix CEL before Puspakom
- WRX tyre check: all 4 tyres same size for AWD integrity; WRX owners sometimes use wider tyres than OEM — confirm width is within JPJ legal limits; excessive offset and dish can also be flagged; review JPJ permitted specifications
