The coolant overflow? Yes. If you remove it when the engine cools down it will suckling up air instead of coolant
-
Belts are 70k I believe. Is for my impreza turbo anyway. Somebody will correct me if I am wrong :)
-
I also put on steal brakes lines. Also makes a nice difference
-
Now that I think of it. It could be a blocked hose or rad.
-
That's quite close to blown gasket temps. You might be lucky though. Some survive some dont
-
If it's happens that fast then it doesn't look good. How far did the temp gauge go?
-
Could be really dirty coolant. When did it last get changed.?
-
Your oil is contaminated with coolant. Worst case is blown head gasket or cracked/warped head
-
Boost controller? Might be the waste gate. Any mods?
-
Had this once on a astra. I think it was the fan switch.
-
Had a snobby Lerner driver try to dictate me the highway code. I then got into my car alone and drove on the motorway :)
-
When I had mine fitter I only had it lowered 40mm. Anymore than that and it don't look right imo. Can't remember if I needed mine aligned as was ages ago but I would of thought so
-
Savage is pretty much spot on. He's not often wrong about those sorts. Your definitely going to be a few notes lighter in the wallet to fix it
-
Your burning oil. Could be turbo,piston rings or valve stem seals
-
Finally got my insurance dispute resolved. All charges dropped:) also had a chance to get the snowfoam out
-
Peter got it. It's in the same place for the bug eye and also the blob eye I think?
-
A car dealer local to me had their trade licence revoked for selling cars with known faults and not disclosing. Mind you this was in 2011. And we're talking blown headgaskets with that had Radweld stuff to hide it
-
Some are like the DVLA. Never admit they are wrong
-
Got a good deal on a 2004 gx as my daily while I fit my 2.1 stroker. Gx is a lovely car despite having no turbo will upload pics when I get time!
-
Can you not find one at a breakers yard?
-
I know subaru don't call it the impreza anymore. The new one is just called a sti or a wrx. In terms of parts I'd just quote the model year and say it's a wrx
-
Had my 2.1 stroker finally assembled after months of putting it off. Also ordered new bushes and had it jet washed
-
They resemble a set of dotz I had years ago. Also bk racing 299 aswell look a bit like that
-
Fighting my old insurance company for messing up my policy me thus leaving me uninsured. Despite me having proof they messed up they still insist I wasn't insured!
-
On my mr2 I got away with just changing the shells. But most of the time you need to get the crank reground. You could do the shells yourself in all honesty it's not hard
