February 10, 201510 yr Author I totally forgot to ask him about the maf lesss option as we were discussing everything else and I didn't need a 3 port plus it was busy as hell two more people turned up to be done while I was there, he also said everything was working well in the car so it probably wouldn't have neeses it, can get it don e on a tweak at a later date if needs be,yeah I've printouts still in the car as the misses had been speaking to her colleagues she thought I was taking the **** haha. As for the difference it's great the car drives so much better and doesn't hesitate any more plus there's the boost side of things [emoji16]
February 10, 201510 yr Author Drove to work parked up, went to go home started car and starts passing coolant from the bottom of the rad, today I have fallen out of love with my car
February 10, 201510 yr Dunno if they fit the foz but ,I've got 2 good classic rads in the scooby stuff shed[emoji6] Get a second hand rad and tell the mrs it's the factory spec hoses that are leaking ....... Shiny silicone hoses here we come [emoji4]
February 10, 201510 yr You sly dog savage, you know all the tricks don't you . Decided to up the tyre pressures as an experiment, bad move, car slides like its on ice all the time lol. On the plus side I'm having loads of fun on corners now, who needs snow?!

February 10, 201510 yr haha yeah that's right, will drop them back down now I've had my fun I did the same a few years ago.....feels like it`s on castors
February 10, 201510 yr Got some pressies in the post , got my new maf sensor , cleared codes again , plugged new one in fired up straight away love a easy fix , right I can get on with the rest now .lol
February 11, 201510 yr Author Rad's out no visible signs of damage but I think it's leaking from the plastic shroud, looks like there's a wrx radiator in there instead of a foz one ? Anyone know of a day leak test I can do ? Fill up with water ?
February 11, 201510 yr When my rad was leaking it was a tiny pin hole in the plastic end. It only leaked under boost/higher rev. Try watching the rad and holding the revs up.
February 11, 201510 yr Author It's now out of car, started her up last night and was warming up when I noticed a puddle forming at the lowest point of car
February 11, 201510 yr Maybe stick a bit of dye in there? Washing up liquid like the tyre fitters do.
February 11, 201510 yr Author looks like an impreza radiator that's was in the car, foz one looks a different shape with no plastic on the end
February 11, 201510 yr Author this is the right part for the foz, unsure as to why it's different I know it was only changed a couple of years ago
February 11, 201510 yr Is the core wider because the top hose is above the core on that foz pic and on the side for impreza.
February 11, 201510 yr Author Right sorted, basically cos mine'mind's one of the 1st foz's it uses the impreza rad the one in the pic above is for UK cars. New rad arriving tomorrow should be up and running again by tomorrow evening
February 12, 201510 yr Good news about the remap Stant :)Mate is stripping his ridiculous STI, and i happened to walk in as this was happening, now have a load of parts for mine :)although she needs a new battery as its gone to heaven and keeps setting the alarm off every other minute.
February 12, 201510 yr Author Maybe I'll have to put it all back together tonight and pray it's not hg failure that's blown it all out of the rad, shouldn't be (touch wood) as boost increase was only 0.3 bar, and was running sweet, I had been loosing a little coolant so maybe it was the smallest of holes that let go on Tuesday night, new rad turn up today so will fit on dinner then bleed tonight. Is the one being broken the white one at martins ?
February 12, 201510 yr Author New rad in bled & burped for ages. Been for a drive top hose warm, bottom hose warm, heaters blowing hot, job done !
