    Hey so i was wondering if anyone else had any experience with this. 04 sti threw a P0011 code once and never came back after clearing. Did some research and came across a post on scoobymods about it and a TSB for the union bolts that feed oil to the solenoids.
    Sounds like a fairly common problem of the filter either dropping out of the bolt and interfering with the solenoid or the filter gets clogged. On a whim i got the new parts and replaced them. Much to my dismay this is what the filters looked like when i pulled them out of the solenoid (both had fallen out of the bolts). If you look nice and close (sorry my camera sucks and doesnt do macro) you can see one filter is missing most of the screen and the other has been torn through. I dont even want to know where the rest of that screen is. Thoughts?

    I pulled mine out but both screen were intact. I hope your screens aren't blocking up your lines.
