Stevew071 Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Can anyone plz help me? Just bought an impreza wagon sport... Love the car, but unfortunatly i seem to have a fuel leak coming from the rear arch underneath the fuel filler, you can also smell fuel inside... Any help would be great, i will post pics later... Regards all...Steve..
Jay762 Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Wotcha and welcome Steve - Does the car run okay? - thinking possible blocked breather or failing that corroded / damaged pipe. Can you get the wheel off and have a good look underneath the arch, post some pictures if possible?
Stevew071 Posted March 15, 2013 Author Posted March 15, 2013 Yeah mate car runs superb stripping it down on Sunday to have a proper look....thanks..
Gambit Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Same as Jay 1st place I would look is fuel lines as Jay put it corroded / damaged pipe I'm sure someone posted the same problem a few weeks back
Stevew071 Posted March 15, 2013 Author Posted March 15, 2013 Cheers lads, took up the back seat and all pipes seen fine, could'nt smell fuel anywhere!!! Looked under the carpets and no smell or visible signs of leaks....i will investigate further on Sunday and let ya know....thanks again...
Gambit Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 How strange I would have almost put money on the pipe's :( Yeah if you could let us know be grateful I can't think what else is at the back would have a look under the car also same side as the filler see if there is any corrosion around that area not an easy job I know but worth a look if you can :(
Stevew071 Posted March 15, 2013 Author Posted March 15, 2013 here is the bugger thats giving me a petrol headache....grrrrrrrrr......cant complain for £650.... 1
Gambit Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Wow look's like a good buy to me. Mind you any Subaru is a good buy in my eye's :D
Stevew071 Posted March 15, 2013 Author Posted March 15, 2013 cheers Gambit....needs a turbo now..... ;) yea i will let you know what i find on Sunday....luckily the lads in the bus depot said i can throw it on the pit to have a good look :)
Jay762 Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 here is the bugger thats giving me a petrol headache....grrrrrrrrr......cant complain for £650....050.PNG052.PNG049.JPG That is a proper result for that money - certainly wont lose any more on it if you look after it
Stevew071 Posted March 15, 2013 Author Posted March 15, 2013 !Removed! it....sorry for swearing :( i dont think the fuel problem is rellevant anymore :( diesel on the road!!! heavy right foot!!! and lamposts dont go very well together :( i am so !Removed! off......only got 3rd party insurance aswell................................
Jay762 Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Jeez!! glad you are ok - did the diesel come from a bus/lorry overfilling its tanks, could be a liability there?
Stevew071 Posted March 15, 2013 Author Posted March 15, 2013 Probably from my bus...lol.....im ok thanks mate...cant prove liabilty.... Just picking glass out my head at the mo!!!!
Gambit Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Ouch I didn't think I was going to see that today :( And I don't think anyone will tell you off for the swears. I would bet my life on it everyone on here is above the age of 16 :D And agreed least nobody was seriously hurt yourself included. And feel for you mate I would be gutted. And without even being there can see it would be classed as a write off. :( Only thing I would do if I was you. Is break it down yourself for part's, keep it for part's and buy another if you have room. Or sell it to a breakers/ebay it :( And you said it needed a turbo pfft ;) And this song has sprung to mind. you might like it :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWNGjMufEcc meant as a joke might make you smile or feel even worse :( how long did you own the car for might I ask just out of interest ? For anyone not getting the music video skip to about 1min 5 seconds and listen for a few seconds :D
Stevew071 Posted March 15, 2013 Author Posted March 15, 2013 pmsl.... :D funny that mate.............3 weeks i had the pleasure of her :(
Gambit Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Can't believe it did that much damage AWD as well :( And your now the quickest person I know to right off a Subaru that I know ;) Congratulation on that 6 week's was best I heard before today :D Ok guess the next most important thing to ask.... What's your next car going to be ? when funds allow :)
Stevew071 Posted March 15, 2013 Author Posted March 15, 2013 Dunno mate:( fink i want a turbo now....is that realy a good idea? Lol...
Gambit Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 I would always say YES! ....... but in your case lol No I would say get one without hesitation. And I try to say that going on my past car's and being bias that I own one lol. I just don't think I've had a car I have loved to drive as much. And can only see me driving Scooby's for the near future to come. And I was a Evo fan dare I say that here :) after driving an Evo 4 for awhile. But that soon past ;) and I have sold my soul.
Stevew071 Posted March 15, 2013 Author Posted March 15, 2013 I only had her for 3 weeks, but she was my ******:( left a Toyota Celica Gt for her... The GT was faster but no where near as good to drive....Save,Save and save some more...Turbo will deffo be next.... I wanna cry now:(.....
Gambit Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Well this is how you should have done it :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50Xu-oCrPZ4 And not sure how much the guy wanted but someone posted a WRX wagon on here from Liverpool . And to cheer myself up I would be surfing eBay for what I want now and watching Youtube video's of Subaru's. After I had taken the drivers seat out the car so I could still sit in it :D
Stevew071 Posted March 15, 2013 Author Posted March 15, 2013 Lol....owwwwww...more glass, **** this stuff is horrible!!!! My head hurts now....:(....
Jay762 Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 go for the turbo but take the diving boots off before driving ;) echo Gambit - 3rd party only so break for bits and sell piece meal.
