February 17, 20169 yr Hello everyone, I recently bought a WRX Wagon, so thought it would be a good idea to join an owners club and introduce myself, and here we are. Unluckily, i've already had a problem with the car but i bought it from a reputable place (I think) and they're going to sort it out for me. Basically, i can smell hot coolant sometimes at rest even though it didn't overheat, then i did a noob thing and opened the rad cap to check the levels and created an air pocket. I'm currently in the process of burping the system (following the manuals guidance) before I get the cooling system inspected tomorrow. I know where the leak is, but i'm just hoping it's not the dreaded head gasket! Well, even if it is it has a 3 month warranty but it's a ballache! Anyway, hopefully after this teething issue i'll have nothing to worry about but the ever draining fuel tank! Does the club have district meetings, e.g. i'm down in Dorset, are there any meetups? Tom
February 17, 20169 yr Hi mate welcome to S.O.C Not sure if there is anything meet wise down around at the minute that I know of maybe the other members might know. But worth popping a p[ost up in the regional section of the forum
February 17, 20169 yr Welcome Tom! Good looking wagon you have there. Enjoy the forum and good luck with your teething problem.
March 31, 20169 yr Author Thanks all, teething problem was due to a loose clip on the bottom rad hose, allowing coolant to drip on the manifold and my schoolboy error of opening up the rad cap to look at the level and causing an air lock!
