im looking to replace my coolant system hoses and am confused by which kit i need. i think i need a 'v3' kit for my 95 wrx v limited?

hi mate

if you have the same car as me - v-ltd number.../1000 and its a 1995 then mine is/has parts for 93 to 96. i.e version 1 & 2 engines. Do you have the slanted old type intercooler? if yes then its the early as i have stated. hope that helps!

p.s i would personally save for samco's. the ones your looking at are a great price but remember you get what you payfor mate.

im getting the samcos for sure, i/we have the dw5he block that went into the next yrs sti according to 'catherine and ken' (cdb?).
ive got 2 big hoses on the rad. the kit for the 92-96 doesnt, so i must need a 96-00 type kit then?
at 140 notes i dont want the wrong kit.

best thing is to post a pic of your engine bay then & someone in the know can give you a deffo answer.

by the way, i dont think that image of a 93/96 kit is accurate.
look at this one.... http://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/p5...duct_info.html

here are the v3 onwards kits....http://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/p5...duct_info.html

lol. was just on merlins site myself, but do u see how they both have 2 fat hoses but the rest of kit differs. looking at them id go with the v1-2 one. i will ring merlins tomorrow morning.

just been out to take some pics of my 1995 v2 engine. pics may help you to see the layout - if it matches then you know


please ignore the 'tattyness' car is a work in progress for me courtesy of the last 'loving' owner
ps i know the charcoal filter thing is missing & i have fitted a later p/steer pump due to the early issues of leaking
