Every 3000 miles is more common with these cars thats what most of us do.

Love it man enjoy your new scooby thats my favourite scooby youve got. Make sure to change your oil regular 👍

Hi mate it just sounds like a vacuum leak Check the airbox and inlet for any loose connections or brittle lines, check your bypass valve and intercooler pipework. It will make more noise with your mods but dont think it would be hissing. You can ask a mechanic to do a smoke test if its really annoying you to be sure its not leaking

Took the kids to clyde valley park today great fun they had, seen a nice hawkeye aswell sounded the business

If everything is getting hot and shaking then your calliper might be seizing up you checked it for damage to the piston boots ect?

I had a maf sensor code not long ago it was because my airbox wasnt on right due to a crack. Check your vacuum lines For cracks Import car parts might have a replacement maf but not sure if for your model worth a look but

Try keith michaels think they insure imported cars

The 2.0 is in the blob sti aswell (EJ207) so up to 05 you will be on the 2.0 was the american blob that had the 2.5 (EJ257) im sure * might have they engine codes wrong ive got a wrx lol. The most important thing is a good service history with regular oil changes using good oil and of course timing belt cause regardless of miles a car that age should have had it changed at least once. Check for rust and what not. The bugeye stis are said to have forged pistons from the factory i dont know that for a fact bit if I had they money for an sti thats what id go for just cause i prefer the look of it. Theres a lot of small things to check but a quick google or youtbe search will give you all that info 👍

Stand further away 😂🤣😂

No bother 👍

Hi its a bit of a distance but camy at csk autoworx in bellshill is a great mechanic and has done hundreds of scoobys you can find him on facebook. Just remember rust repairs and welding is expensive

You”ll need to start bringing your car cover so you can get on with your work 😂🤣😂

Thanks savage your a great help man ✊

Think its 12mm 10mm socket to get intercooler off then its either a 17 or 19mm spanner i used to get pcv off hope that helps

The hardest part will be getting the old hoses off mate you will be fine, Just a few sockets and a spanner man. If ye get stuck ye can pm me and ill facetime u or something but you will be fine

Really struggling to find A silicone turbo inlet hose any one heard of the viper hoses? If i cant get a good used one might try one but there £160

Is it maybe from your ac?

Nightmare hes sold it 😭

Seen this one but it says it was fitted to a vf34 would it fit on my td04

Sorry mate didnt take any pictureS exactly how I described above but

So i tried squeezing the replacement oem inlet pipe in again this morning and the pcv connector on it snapped 🤦🤦🤦 so I guess ill need to buy a silicone one which i should have just done in the first place so annoyed but cause i use my car to collect supplies for work and now its just sitting any one seen a good used hose for sale dont really have £250+ for a new one

Nice tidy wagon by the looks of it enjoy 👍

Has your maf sensor been checked?

Yeah when i was looking at it the second time i did think i should have just remover the purge valve 😂 more research needed before i start taking stuff of in future lol. No i had my car mapped with the standard one in but it was ripped ti bits at the turbo so just replacing it with like for like i dont plan any more power mods for this car. Thanks for the comments guys actually feel like i can manage to sort this now 👍
