Any help with this problem would be appreciated as i have only had my scoob for a few weeks.First thought oil!!!! panic anyway upon closer inspection noticed the it was header tank . Wasent driving fast lost some but not all coolant,any advice anyone can give would be appreciated.

1)Is this quite a common thing on a more mature scoob (Nreg).

2)Have ordered the part hope its the right one!!.Is it a job that i can do myself with limited tool's and knowledge of this car.

3)What are the ratio of anit-freeze to water and any brand recommendation's.

Thank's for the advice STEVIEP73

 

Are you refering to the the brown with silver trim tank to the front left of the engine??

Had mine go a fortnight ago.......... bloody thing....

Posted on here and apparently it's a 'known thing to go'...

Anyways (I got a 92 Legacy) Kept a look out for someone 'breaking a car on here' and someone replied with one.....

£20 .... that's all it cost posted!!

Easy to replace......... couple of spring clips/jubilee clips and that's that...

Ratio for coolant v's water will be in your manual/on the back of the coolant container.

Cheers

 

Very common. Any pre 96 Subaru turbo is the same, legacy or impreza.

 

Yep thats the one cheers for that LEGACY 4X4 TURBO
Have already ordered it should be here today needed one asap.Its just a bit of a bugger cos ive only had it for about 4 weeks.

Does anyone know were i can get a manual for a jap import sti?

Steve,

If you need a hand fitting it just get the monkey to give me a shout and I will pop across and help you do it on my way to work (start at 3pm tomorrow)

I didnt wake up in time Ian.........needed to catch up on my sleep. Will call you later.

 

I told you to watch out for that at the last Surrey meet!!!
They are a known weak point

Hope you get it sorted, should be able to DIY if you know one end of a screw driver from the other

Iain.

 

I could remember being told it but could'nt remember who sorry mate.
Ordered one over the phone yesterday they told me they had some in stock would be there by today thought great back on the road by wednesday not so!!GRRRRRRRR.Had'ent arrived by 5pm so called them they said oh sorry we only had one left and its damaged bloody great!! but you have my number wat's wrong with a quick phone call.Oh sorry that nobody called gett'in some more in on friday we'll send you one on fri and you'll get it on monday not good enough i said,they said we'll send it fri by special delivery and you'll get it on saturday.The point of this moan being a phone call don't cost much to be kept informed.Grumling over sorry to bore you just had to have my gripe.

 

Know how you feel, bloody annoying isn't it. Has by WRX for 6 weeks and the same has just happened to mine. New part arriving on Monday hopefully.

Nice smoking effect from the front drivers side vent, but only the slightest of leaks.

Are there any other common faults I should look out for???
