had some rude boy in a suzuki ignis sport think he could keep up with me round the lanes........ didnt last long

Had a retest done on the coolant, liquid didnt change colour, brought myself a kit to check for cumbustion leaks, liquid stayed blue, car isnt over heating anymore the obly issue i seem to get is occasionally after hard driving coolant seems to be bein pushed into expansion chamber any ideas mr b?

Hg is gone/goin been told 9 times out of 10 with this engine the problem usually snowballs and after original price of 2000for replacing hgwill cost me 4 onwards such a shame cus love the car

Thanks will have to start saving some pennies then

It doesn't completely overheat, it gets to what could be called 3 quarters and drops back down, sometimes goes over and drops down,sometimes it's when i drive it hard, then I can drive it hard and it's fine, and it will get hot just cruising , I am seriously gettin fukked off with it ! Had the thermostat replaced and it seems to be slightly better if not the same! It's the first decent expensive car i have owned (always had 500 quid bangers) and it I just want someone to have it and sort it the !Removed! out! The mechanic I use seems to make excuses sayin aslong as it's not hitting the red its ok, and the other garage I use which specialise and tune alot of rally /track cars just say HG straight away!

Helpful👍

Ok thanks for the HELPFUL advice

Why's that?

Had a very interesting conversation with an old boy down the pub on this subject tonight, was told check all spark plugs and make sure they are all the same colour ? If so it could be down to running too much boost , having had it on the rolling road the turbo is running maximum boost , he seems to think it will be pushing hot air back into the engine if overworked?

Having sorted the hose I am still having overheating issues, had gasket test done nothing, had countless people look at it and can't seem to find an issue but it still every so often (not regulary) gets hot??!! Any ideas?

Having had to change my front discs I have discovered I have a seizing piston , and have been told I need to replace the entire caliper? Is there any other way around this or is the new calipers necessary? Cheers

Should i order the lot then?

I drove it today after playing about today with it had steam coming from bonnet which like u said was irritating to my eyes, my friend and fellow Subaru owner had a look and we spotted the leak, just wondering what its correct name is to order a new one

I Think I have cracked it i have a split hose that comes off just under the rad cap to a tee off to the expansion bottle, but can't find a name for 1, any ideas? Still got it booked in but not showing any common signs of head gasket ie goo on oil cap, white smoke or chocolate milk coloured oil on dipstick

Plus I am getting a test done just unsure wether to carry on driving it

Is the 2.5 prone to hg problems? I assumed being a larger engine they would be a abit hardier?

Would it still be driving ok though?? I haven't lost any coolant and drives fine,

Last Sunday my wrx over heated, I managed to spot the temp gauge and stopped imidiatediatley, I have had someone look at it and his conclusion was that due to the weather radiator caps can fail to release pressure, and since it has been running fine (driving very gingerly) however my local Subaru 'expert' seems sure it's a blown head gasket, dnt know who or wat to believe any advice would be much appreciated

From the front, had it looked at and had a loose bolt at the end of the anti roll bar where it all meets? Does that sound about right? Havent heard it since but having brake issues aswell now so not sure if they are linked

Also geof it was after driving a legacy gtb like urs that i found my love for subarus👍💨💨💨

I always run it on momentum now i wasnt to start with had half and half on the power run and the chap said on the second run i was getting some flat spots

I am indeed, tbf i have a very good local garage which specialise in subarus, had it on the rolling road for a power run and turns out she isnt standard, running 270 bhp and 305 nm of torque, however i am at low speeds getting a slight knocking noise, any ideas?

I hhave not long owned a 2006 wrx wagon, and have noticed at low speeds a slight knocking noise, been told by one person thats normal because of the 4 wheel drive but im not buying it, any help?

Hi all, just joined, anyone help guide me on how to use this lol, brought myself a 06 wrx wagon at the end of january and am in love with it! Just looking for advice on dos and donts and things to watch out for, cheers then
