How would I go about trying to start a meet with other subaru owners in West Yorkshire? Plus does anyone have any merchandise for this  forum site e.g stickers, hoodie and hats?

I'm expecting some money so the engine will be removed, taken apart, skimmed head, check pistons etc, new gasket, new cam belt, plus anything else they can see wrong with it, new. Plugs, oil / filter, fuel filter and also new inter cooler and cooling fans.

Then once all that I'd done, get it remapped upto 300 bhp

2.5 are renowned for dropping headgaskets.

 

£1700 sounds very cheap for a headgasket on a 2.5. You need to full strip and replace the crank bearings as they have a tendancy to be damaged when the HG goes as they get pinched.

Now that sounds like more money, oh well we only live once and it's a car I love and seem to be in short supply, so to hell with the money, if it gets it going back to full health, then so be it 

It's just boiling away so you could say yes it's loosing coolant 😲

Hi everyone I've just recently bought a subaru wrx wagon  and it's constantly over heating even without thrashing it, I've just been to have the thermostat replaced to be told, "there wasn't a thermostat fitted in the first place " the garage man told me that he thinks the head gasket may have gone and that's why they have removed it, so the problem I have is..... do i try and find somewhere that will replace the head gasket and at what cost, or get rid of the car at a loss, If anyone can help me or suggest any other symptoms that's causing this problem

P.s there dosnt seem to be any water in the oil which I thought was the first sign of head gasket problems

P.p.s I live in West yorkshire

OK no worries, I thought there would have been loads, do you know of any in the whole country?

Hello everyone I'm new here and to the subaru life, don't know if anyone can help but I seem to be loosing water out of the top of the coolant bottle where a rubber pipe inserts in the top, does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop this apart from driving slower?

When is the next meeting ??
