Note to self - immediately check cabin filter when I get home tonight.

Suggestion · Original poster
My mechanic said they found nothing in their on-site check of the oil and the wear appeared to be much more gradual.

I then set some glue traps around the car and that caught them.

I've tried the Humane Mousetraps but mice are too small to set the trap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I just picked up my C4S from the shop. It was in for the IMS Retrofit and we went ahead with some routine 60k tasks as well. I really wish I took a picture of the pollen filter, because it was all chewed up and embedded with sesame seeds and mouse sign. Apparently this can be fairly common, having mice nest in the vents? Yikes. Anyone else discover their car had become a habitrail?
(Oh, and the factory IMS bearing showed a respectable amount of wear at 52k but it was not on the edge. Glad I got it replaced! Given the limited warranty LN offers now, I may just clean up the original and keep it for a paperweight.)
Not my car, but my daughter's WRX, mouse ate a hole in the air filter and moved into the turbo. Turbo would not spin, engine would not get to 5k rpms in neutral. After removing the inlet and outlet pipes and as much mouse as possible, I started the engine and made a cloud of vaporized mouse bits that hung in the air. Car is happy again.
Spray wires with WD-40 to keep the mice away. I have a sonic rodent annoyer in my garage. Seems to work. The WRX lives outside.
I've yet to take it out of the ziploc bag to check. My mechanic said they found nothing in their on-site check of the oil and the wear appeared to be much more gradual. I'm sure Blackstone would have revealed a trend line.
When I unwrap it, I'll post some pictures for posterity and in case it might help someone else. My takeaway is that it's worth doing some kind of replacement at this point. From what other say, lower mileage cars might even be more suspect. Debate over as far as I'm concerned.
Yeah, it's a thing.

/me makes note to get a sonic disperser, spray some WD40. Not sure I could take smelling mothballs.
yep....had the little big eared bu99ers nest in my pollen filter!
they ate all the loom dressing in the bulkhead, but didn't chew through the actual wiring insulation!...weird but maybe that is why the loom dressing is made that way??
caught them all eventually!
I hate those mieces to pieces!!!
I've tried the Humane Mousetraps but mice are too small to set the trap. I bought some liquid poison, put it in bottle caps and sprinkled sunflower seed around it to see if there was activity or evaporation of the liquid poison. The next day there were sunflower seeds in my floorboard. I then set some glue traps around the car and that caught them. Just a suggestion.
I fashioned a screen to cover the pollen filter from 1/4" chicken wire from Home Depot. They still get in but can't get through it. I've cleaned mice out of the toyota blowers many times until I covered the intakes there as well. Worth the effort.
I've tried all the Humane Traps available, and can say the only one that works well is this one...Chocolate or nuts does the trick.
