Pommy Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Different model year fuel filler pipes will fit, I have A 2008 on my classic I believe, although I don't know the changeability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeksy Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 How sure are you fella.got a wagon r in scrappy will that fit? Would the arb fit too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Try import carparts 76quid will buy a brand new one, they are notorious for going rusty so if yiu can stretch i'd buy new at least you won't have any problems Or have a peek through the many pages from this seller http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Grade-A-Subaru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pommy Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I'm not sure about the fits between models, but I know visually that mine is a different size than the old one. Sorry I don't know more but this is one of the few jobs I got a garage to do, they said it was from a newage model, and I believe them. Sorry I'm not more help. Try what Stanton said, although it is a common problem with rust so a new one may be needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay762 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 that does sound positive - potentially a relatively straight forward fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeksy Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 is there a possibility its head gasket causing too much pressure forcing colent out via bottom hose? no oil water mix coolent looks fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 If life has taught me, anything is possible. The Sniff test should prove if it is or isn't. But you managed to run it with only a water leak today. Thats a good thing with no over heating issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hoping to have a answer tonight but suppose all i can do is wait.Pain having to pay even more cash out on a car i cant drive. Heyho tomorrows another day.

Gambit Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Well Seeing as you are having problems with the coolant and there is no signs of exhaust gasses I would look at that as you are at least 80% clear mate ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeksy Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Liking the thought of that fella...think it could just be the thermostat? Or do you fancy a stab in the dark at whats next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 It is possible by all means to be the Thermostat it gets too hot the water has to blow out from somewhere. I think a mixture of a badly plumbed in rad and the faulty thermostat air locks has been the problem. But as said you never really can tell but so far everything is pointing to a positive engine :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeksy Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 So latest chapter..heads blown on impreza so sold a lemon by someone on here. Gutted cant believe someone would do that to another human being. Now ive a car i paid £3300 drove for 1hour and spent money on it to be on the back of a lorry. Finally made its last trip on the lorry to a chap called Andy Hinamen of AR Racing based 10mins from my flat whos a friend of a friend and known subaru god.Running 500bhp in his own scooby.Straight away told me head blown so he is going to tear her apart and bring her back to life. Cosworth gaskets arp bolts fueling ecu check and everything in between.also gives a 5,000mile warrenty on all his work. Now im not putting a figure up as it may well be mates rates but its under £1,300 so in his words she will be future proof when i get her back. Next friday i hope to be driving her home all going well. If you need a scooby specialist who knows them.inside out i can direct you his way. More to follow im sure.

weeksy Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 previous owner told me that he was unaware how id driven the car home and as far as hes concerned i drove it like a ****.... So the fact that he told me the rad was replaced because of a stone chip yet ac rad is fine seems wierd.i drove home at 80mph not pushing car as new to me and wanted to get used to her before giving her the beans. Angry...withoit a doubt going to pop back to his house and tear him to pieces thought about it but im a nice person and karmas a ****** i hope he gets what he deserves. And i end up with a strong reliable motor to make my own.I already have a great clib im proud to be apart of. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
