Hi guys, Subaru impreza sti 2006 I have diagnosed my car and 'Camshaft position sensor' has come up as faulty. I have tried googling and youtubing the location of the sensor but seem to be struggling as it isn't in the same location as the videos. Anyone have any pics or info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Have you got a pic of it yet mate?

Couple more pics, thought i had more :/

It all seperates mate, while i was there i fitted some new mesh as the old one was a bit knackered, left it de-badged as you don't often see them like that

It was the motor, had a new one delivered for 40 quid and fitted it 2 hours later, not the most difficult job In the world just a bit fiddly

Something like this? If thats what your after, all i did was take apart the grille and sand down the inner lip then paint it red.. simple but effective

It seemed to be a bit of a intermittent fault over the past few weeks, some days it would work fine and other days you could press the buton and 5 seconds later then it works, borrowing a volt meter tomorrow just to see how much power is going to the motor

Hi guys, problem with my drivers side window, it wont go up or down, tried changing switches with my friends scooby, (all the other windows worked apart from the drivers side) narrowed it down to the motor being at fault. So my question is has anyone changed their motor/regulator and is there any hints and tricks you have?

Going well, got her back a few weeks ago, was the head gasket. 1500 quid later and job was a gooden :) cheers ill check it out

Right guys im after a front mount for my hawkeye sti, been looking around on the internet but can only seem to find cheap copys, and the rest are from the US, Scoobyworld only seem to have them for classics, so if anyone else knows any decent websites let me know, cheers.

A place called JD performace, been recommended by a few people ive met up here, as ive just moved to derby sort of area.. but just the was he was talking, you get the impression that he genuinely wants to help. Its one of those things that happen unfortunately.

Haha well unfortunately im not a mad man and it does have a problem, just been to the garage (scooby specialist) and hes diagnosed it straight away as H/G. The reasons for sludgey kind of stuff in the expansion tank is due to the carbons entering the cooling system from a small crack in the H/G, and the reason it overheats after about an hour is because the engine has warmed up soo much that it lets the gases escape into the coolant. I'm going to be dropping it off at the garage monday so they can begin work on it. He's quoted me between 800-1600 depending if I've cracked the head or warped it. Its a fair bit of money but not the end of the world. So while the engines out I'm going to get some new belts, light weight wheels and my manifold put on as its easier when its on out, so sort of worked out in my favour lol.

Yeah thats why im concerned it could still be the H/G... nah no over heating at all.. they took it on a few test drives and left it running and still no overheating. .. now i just look like a mad man making it up.. well hopefully the guys tomorrow will be able to find the problem straight away.

Right guys, just a little update, my car has been in the garage for 2 days now. Apparently they done a 'sniff test' on it and came back negative, and because my car wasnt overheating at all they cant seem to find the problem. So went back to get my car as they seemed clueless, and the total charge was £10.00.... now im beginning to think if they ever done the test as surely its costs more than that? Anyways, im going to give the guys at jd performance near derby a ring in the morning and see how soon they can have a look. Will update when i know a bit more..

Well I've drained and changed the coolant about 3 times and don't think its air locked, yeah checked the thermostat and that seemed to open and close when put in boiling water and cooled down again, the oil doesn't have any head gasket symptoms, but the coolant always to come out as a rusty looking colour, before i diagnose it with the head gasket gone, i may try changing the radiator as its only about 80 quid to replace
