V7 wrx sti type uk engine refresh
kershaw-330s replied to savage bulldogs's topic in Subaru Build Threads
Yes the 1k oil change is already included in the price , before it goes on the dyno , I swapped out the semi synthetic for fresh at 2k as well . although they don’t specify that , then fully synthetic at 3k changed every 3k , the main point that Allan made on the run in sheet is it’s no good driving like miss daisy for 1k then at 1001 miles beating the living daylights out of it , need to slowly increase the load you apply when running her in make sure everything beds in nicely -

The engine tuner method is very similar , they do the fist change for you so it’s 50 miles 15w-40 mineral 500 miles mineral again 1000 miles semi syntetic 3000 miles fully synthetic -

If your lowered you will get uneven camber on the rear , not sure how much if any adjustability you have on the rear , obv get it checked out that nothings bent but you probably just need some camber bolts to straiten everything up again

Best bet is the sniff test that way you can rule out head gasket then do a pressure test that will expose any potential leaks ,, is it air locking and pushing coolant into the overflow ?

You want to use the highest grade fully synthetic you can afford preferably Ester based like a millers or a titan race etc there is a tread on here by opie give you a run down of the best brands etc

I’m sure the test hasn’t got any more strict for older cars , think you’ve just had a stroppy tester , as far as I’m aware the test concerning emissions is the same , maybe I’m wrong but I’ve just had mine done , I know for new cars the test has got more strict especially for diesels

Looking good -
I went into the local dealer yesterday , Said it’s only takes ten mins to do the check, they had quite a few cars in then having checks done , lady said they don’t do anything unless it’s leaking , didn’t realise how big a job it was if they do need replacing ,, not sure I even trust the local dealer to undertake that sort of job lol
