    Changed coolant earlier and when I ran car up to "what I have to guess" right temp as my temp gauge not working, fans don't kick in. With little bit of throttle to make sure it's hot enough fans just ent kicking in. Do they take longer then other engines to kick in or am I being stupid here. Plugged green plugs in and fans do come on so that's not the problem ? Could it be thermostat gone ? Bit worried bout using the car as I don't want a full meltdown here

    i run shell vpower only although the misses keeps trying to get me on momentum for the clubcard points :)
  4. wrxweston
    Yeah I advise getting it done professionally I had massive issues with my Clifford had to speak to a Clifford guy to get it sorted so complicated

    Update.... Problem fixed ! Took the vac line off at the t-piece and poked the restrictor pill out and it was blocked up with black !Removed!. Cleaned out the lines with brake cleaner just to be sure. Took it for a test drive and just like that . The smile was finally put back on my face again !

    Ok so I spray the solenoid with cleaner and connect green plugs to click it through. Left it a while. Put pipes back on fire car up and it's misfiring to f***k. After a min or two it clears so I'm assuming that the cleaner had to clear. Took it for a test run and seems smoother under acceleration as it was getting bad. Still overboosting wasn't quite as bad initially. I feel I've found the culprit. How easy and would it be worth it to take the solenoid apart and clean it proply ?
  7. wrxweston
    Thanks for that savage will try the cleaner first and see if that makes a difference. The solenoid is bolted to the drivers side strut tower isn't it ?
  8. wrxweston
    No leaks. Someone has mentioned it could be that I need to clean out the boost solenoid ? How would I go about doing this ?
  9. wrxweston
    Changed boost pipes and still over boosting ! Annoying

    Ram air it's a foam filter so not oiled

    Tried to get at knock sensor last week and removed intercooler and turbo pipes but couldn't get access to knock sensor so I stuck it all back on then few days later it's over boosting maybe I didn't tighten pipes up enough :/ ordered some new silicone pipes so when they come Friday I'll check I tighten it all up good when I swap them over
  12. wrxweston
    I got maf code but had that ever since I had the car cleared it and it just came back but wasn't over boosting. Also knock sensor code and I have a knock sensor just waiting to get it on the car
  13. wrxweston
    Yeah came with a cone changed it cause it was a no make tatty thing but I might go back to standard air box and decent panel filter just need to find one as cr didn't come with it
  14. wrxweston
    Please don't tell me bad maf lol already replaced it once

    Shame to hear it's not gone to plan mate. I'm actually having some issues myself at the moment. Over boosting and not holding boost. Quite annoying to be honest think I'm gonna take it to central subaru in willenhall.
  16. wrxweston
    Not got boost controller fitted. And how would I go about checking if the actuator is stuck ?
  17. wrxweston
    Ok I was coming home from work last night and on a stretch of dual carriage way as I gave it some... Instead of boosting to 13psi and holding it went off the scale and jolted back quite bad. Had the issue all the way back home any input would be greatly appreciated
  18. wrxweston
    Yeah wouldn't be a problem mate I'm going away Friday for a week so I'll drop you a message when I'm back and come and show you around it. It has it's issues like any used motor , but I think I got a good deal. Yeah I'd love to cage her up and strip her down ;) lol but the misses and the kids won't agree to walk :( having another car for a daily would be ideal alongside really. Yeah I have the good fortune of few owners and a dr owning it for the longest time an spending a huge amount maintaining her
  19. wrxweston
    Funny enough I bought it from by you aswell in willenhall

    Thought I'd put my input in as I too recently got a uk turbo. Although it's not an sti still gives you the smiles you are after and puts shame to type r's all day long. Mine handles very good in my opinion with white line arb's and anti lift kit. Updated shocks and brand new Yokohama parada spec 2 tyres ;) running costs aren't a massive increase compared to my 325i I had previously. How ever insurance is crazy for me as I am only 23. But I work hard so I think I deserve some joys in life ! Basically what I am trying to say is a uk turbo is defonately worth it if you can get it for the right price ! (Paid £1400) and had offers of 800 for my private plate that came on the car
  21. wrxweston
    Thanks tlag ! What sort of symptoms would this sensor being faulty be giving me ?
  22. wrxweston
    Had a quick look couldn't spot it will take top mount off bit later and see cheers gambit
  23. wrxweston
    Got a fault code 22 on my uk turbo ej20g where is my knock sensor ? Cheers people
  24. wrxweston
    Just a little issue that Nearly got me kicked out of my home for noise nousence ! When I bought my 97 turbo It came with a Clifford g5 alarm. Good news for insurance, little did I know it had a mind of its own ! It set itself off randomly at all times of the day and night. Was worried about locking it it became that bad. After weeks of scouring the net, asking people and printing off instruction manuals which gave me nothing ! I called a auto electrician that specialises in Clifford and he told me all I had to do was as soon as it goes off. Unlock it, jump in, stick the key in the ignition and the little blue Clifford led flashes to give you a fault code !. Rang him back and he told me straight away it was the bonnet switch. Which I have disconnected temporarily till I get it replaced. And I can't believe how underrated the silence is ! Why I didn't think to call someone before I don't know ! On my searches across the internet people had the same issue so thought I'd write this novel just incase anyone on here had the same problem. Anyway I'm gonna shut it now ..
