Hi guys, i have just bought a week ago my first Suburu, of an old (not too old) sn member on here, i also have his username, until i sort membership out into my name, is there a way of stoppng the intercooler spray coming on all time, has a front mount, 2007 sti, and the pipes on the top of block have just a peg on it to stop spraying?

or is it ok like that? cheers simon

 

Quality ! pmsl is the spray not directed onto the FMIC at the moment ?

 

No, at least i dont think so, has a FORGE fmic, and the spray pipe is plugged, and cliped, ill put back up on ramp in a mo when got me *** break,

Just spoke to another scooby owner said it doesnt need it if, it been fmic'd.

 

If its a uk car then its manual only, only JDM's have auto spray and you have to press the button in for that to activate it

So why hasn't anyone posted the obvious answer: Drain the water out of the tank.

The best way to do it ScatRat is just to unplug it. If your car has the tank mounted in the side of the boot you can get to it fairly easily by taking off the trim. One connector for the pump and another for the low level warning switch and you're done.

Although it it was mine I'd at least drain the tank to stop the water causing a bad smell in the boot in a few months time. Given that it's only a few bolts, even better would be to take the tank out completely.

Incidentally, do you know that the car's been mapped properly for the front mount?

 

Hi yes it is drained, but i hear a whirring noise everynow and then like a windscreen washer pump thats empty,,

Its been mapped properly yes,
i only discovered it when i was wiring up my amps, i noticed a fuse was missing in fuse box, so put a fuse in, now the ic spray works, it is a uk spec, yes, and the spray is auto,
ive took the bottle out now completely and unplugged etc,.
sweet now,,,
cheers

 

Can't be UK and auto spray unless someone has been clever.
Are there two buttons (Auto and spray) to press on lower dash panel to right of driver - will be with foglight button.

 

says ic spray, and auto, but not to worry been sorted got me boys to take the spray bottle out, cheers tho.
is uk spec new from an alfa romeo dealer? makes sense lol

 

Its a bit intriguing what model you've got (2 or 2.5 litre?) - anyway - its all sorted by the sound of it.
