It's normal for the level in the expansion tank to go up when the engine is hot. That's just normal expansion. As for your other issue, I would try replacing the thermostat. Hope this helps 🤞

Ah yes. That looks familiar 😂

I think you must do. I wouldn't have bought it otherwise. Get yourself the Haynes workshop manual. It's all in there.

Just stick the garden hose in for a minute if you can, with the drain screw open. Flush it until it runs our clear.

Hi Forncett, I'm pretty sure I didn't need any locking tools when I did mine. However it was a few years ago. I did have to by a tool to hold the crank pully while I un-did and did up the crank bolt. Must be some YouTube videos on the subject. Linx

Most kits come with the pullies and water pump. EG https://navigates.gates.com/emea/v/subaru/impreza/powergrip™-kit-%2B-waterpump-%2B-thermostat/gates/kp2th15612xs-3.html

Has Anyone Else Radiator Support Rotted Like This?
Linx replied to Linx's topic in Subaru Impreza Club
I have a V40 too 😂. D4 engine. It needed a new EGR vvalve soon after I bought it but luckily done under warranty. Been good since 🤞. Looks like a new bottom support is about £55 from Import Car Spares. -

No. It did pass a couple of mots before I sold it though. I believe Import Car Parts sell the support for welding in. -
Brake booster pressure sensor

Maybe you don't have the correct adapter lead.

He did say it had been stolen ☹️
-
Wow! You're going to have to get codes ready for that. Is the engine light on?
-
You could also check to see if it's been SORN.

Oil and filter change every 5000 miles with fully synthetic oil and genuine Subaru oil filter.

Worn bearings usually make a humming sound.

When it's cooled down, is power normal?
-
I guess no fuel.

HELP needed, Impreza 2004 brake pedal pulsing/grinding
Linx replied to Scooby_Tez's topic in Subaru Impreza Club
Could it just be the heatshield touching the disc when you brake hard? -
Tighten the belt and change the fluid
-
Sounds like the pump is packing up. How long since the fluid was changed though?
-
It's probably a failing sensor. Have you checked for fault codes?
-
I'd go for a second hand one and just clean it up well. They don't often go wrong
-
I think you're looking at about 25mpg but reliable

I expect the pistons and seals need taking out and cleaning.

Welcome Spanner. I'm not sure where the oil leak is coming from. Looks like maybe turbo. You'll have to do a sniff test on the coolant and if OK, get it set up in a dyno.
