moosens Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Oh , that’s an XT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 i thought the key code was a 4 digit number code, not letter, but i haven't looked at one in quite a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have mixed up the manuals and covers Pretty sure it was an old Brumby or EA81 auto sedan Edited April 12, 2020 by Steptoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) No , not necessarily. My fault for putting your XT manual and the key code together. Check with an older dealership and hopefully an older parts guy. FWIW all my older 1970’s let’s typically lead off with an “F”.

moosens Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I’m going to say it’s 80’s. Going through my “stupid amount” of old keys I see mostly F and E with E seemingly being for glove box or trunk in most cases. Then I have known Loyale keys and they are four numbers followed by a letter , mostly X and Y Yeah , from this lot in front of me I’m going with 80-84 or gen 2 Brat or late run Hatch.

NV Zeno Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Hmmm. It's possible that leadoff letter is specific to a regional market, like North America, Australia, Europe, etc. Just spitballing here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have mixed up the manuals and covers no, the manuals next to it did. It’s been a few years but EA82 key codes on the door lock cylinders were 5 digit numeric codes with no letters and the locksmith only needed 4 of them. A good locksmith would probably know if you needed to find out. Ask if it could be a potential key code for an 80s Subaru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptoe Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 Oh, that manual also says L Series, so a bit odd it also included XT I actually scored a LHS barrel and key from the US My XT came sans key worky LHS, so the driver's door and ignition one key, LHS on its own in RHD world no biggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
