Wow, that looks really complicated -) Yes it looks like it's the UP pipe - here is the pics https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/NI7vr_XGESVtH8D2iVQ404AXrGmN51FMd0KEC3bPuHs?feat=directlink https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/wkQgZW0DUsbia4ME_9N2g4AXrGmN51FMd0KEC3bPuHs?feat=directlink What would you recommend to do? Remove the whole lot and have a look? Look for the STI up pipe as a replacement?

Hey everyone! Family commitments and lack of time -) I fixed the clock that wasn't hard! It looks like now I have a problem with the blowing exhaust manifold or up/pipe or gasket now sure yet - what is the most common problems for these cars??? Should I replace the lot with the aftermarket bits? After a toyota this exhaust manifold looks very confusing to me - can anyone explain, with pics way it's designed and would that be difficult to replace the lot?

Thank you mate! Does anyone know STANDARD fuel pressure for our cars? Can anyone measure their pressure? I feel like my car runs mega rich after I put a WRX fuel pump. I also feel petrol during the cold start from the exhaust pipe, but the smell is strong...

That's a pretty good price for a brand new wheel... Some sets go way higher than that, at least £100 per wheel.

If you really want them badly you can make me an offer, just PM me -) Also the postage won't be cheap at all ! They need a refurb and I would rather get another set, I need 2 sets of wheels actually -) both 16 inches. The wheels are decent 16 inch as well, but just not my cup of tea.

A good wash! https://picasaweb.google.com/108629679967946639907/MySF5AfterAGoodWash?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCLGb5OWczZyzRg&feat=directlink

-) No worries, just hope someone will find it useful. These are the Gearbox related error codes for SF5. I'm currently washing my car, as didn't get a chance to wash it for some time, well -) will put some pics up once finished!

THe list of ALL codes - is not MY codes -) I just thought I put a list for someone who might need it in the future. I only have 1 error - code 25. I will check the earth tomorrow with the multimeter. And adding extra earth would be a good idea for sure. Thank you for your support.

Great info. Thank you! Also, I finally found my problem with flashing HOLD. Also there is a diagnosis for the auto gearbox as well, self diagnosis, but my code was shown on an OBD scanner worth £2500 -))))) And the code is - 25 — Еngine torque control signal And I don't get this error at all times which makes me think it's a short somewhere or bad earth or the wiring is damaged somewhere... Here is the list of ALL codes - someone might find it useful. 11 — Duty solеnoid A 12 — Duty solеnoid B 13 — Shift solеnoid 3 14 — Shift solеnoid 2 15 — Shift solеnoid 1 21 — ATF temp sеnsor 22 — Atmospheric sеnsor (This is MAF sensor) 23 — Еngine revolutiоn signal (Detonation sensor?) 24 — Duty solеnoid C (The one which is responsible for the rear wheel drive -) 25 — Еngine torque control signal 31 — Throttle sеnsor 32 — Vehicle speed sеnsor 1 33 — Vehicle speed sеnsor 2 75 Incorrect gear changes. 79 Overheating of the gearbox. 81 Incorrect voltage supplied to the gearbox. 82 Incorrect solenoid voltage 1-2 solenoids 83 Solenoid voltage is too high 84 Incorrect solenoid voltage 3-2 solenoids 85 TCC Solenoid failure 90 TCC Solenoid incorrect voltage

So if I remove it nothing bad will happen like Check engine light or other problem? I believe that belt is ONLY for the AC? is that correct? I might leave it as it is, I just don't like the Subaru climate control, as it's really weird - lets say if I want to put 22C instead of 25C - it turns on the AC automatically then - I absolutely hate that!

thank you mate! Have you kept your AC belt by the way? I have no intention to use the AC, I wonder if I could just get rid of the AC belt?

Oh Right, I have replaced the alternator and I have indeed seen some connectors out there -) Have you replaced the alternator on yours? they seem to be underrated for these cars?

Thank you mate! I've noticed that I get bad MPG when the engine is cold, my guess is that the water temperate sensor might be playing up, also I need to find it first -) The reason I replace the MAF and Lambda is because I had error codes which are cleared now. Now I have code 25 which is missing on the list unfortunately, probably because it's related to the gearbox.

Looks like a Re-Map was a good idea.... On average I get around 20 on the moorway and about 15 mpg in city at it's best... So I wonder what the problem is, considering that I have a brand new Lambda and MAF I would expect a better mpg... How about a MAP sensor? where is it located and have you replaced it in the past?

What kind of MPG do you get city/motorway driving? I get around 200 miles per tank in city with many cold starts and traffic and around 350 miles per tank motorway driving.

If you'll get me a PCV part number, that would be fantastic. I think it's sensor related or some kind - code 25 is a mystery still, but possible outcome - engine torque control signal - didn't know that there is such sensor, but that would explain why I floor the accelerator and nothing happens...

ANY IDEA of code 25?????????? Something related to the gearbox I think!

What was your error code?

Oh and thank you for a tank gasket! What fuel pump would you recommend? I'm after something not very noisy, but capable of delivering the fuel without any problems -)))

Any idea about code 25??? It's missing here - http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/2366-Manually-Reading-ECU-Codes Replaced the Lambda sensor, MAF sensor, Alternator, ALL fluids - still have a problem - flood the accelerator and nothing happens, just slow acceleration as if I was just slightly touching the accelerator... Then I floor it again and it pull like a train then.... THE RPM is stable, no drop on idle.

I don't plan any remap in the future, I'm happy the way it is -) Just want the car to be as reliable as possible. One moment I flood the accelerator and nothing happens at all, the rpm starts to slowly increase just a bit if I touched it lightly, but if I let it go and slam it again - there will be a punch and really good acceleration. The RPM on IDLE is stable - usually spark plugs and ignition leads will result to bad RPM jumping up and down as I've experienced in the past with Toyota I used to have. And it wouldn't pull that good either, I blame either fuel pump or some kind of a sensor, TPS? MAP?

Do you know the part number for the PCV valve by any chance? The fuel pressure is important to find out for me, surely someone would have the idea, as I want to test the fuel pump. Also what is the fuel pump part number (or what kind of replacement would you recommend?) Thank you!

Does anyone know what is the standard FUEL pressure on these cars? (With and without the VAC line) and what is the GOOD RPM on idle when the engine is COLD and when HOT? Where is the PCV valve located and how much are they?

Yes the ECU has been reset, also I haven't done a lot of miles since then probably about 100 ish. THe HT leads looks like aftermarket ones and in very good condition, most likely has been replaced not long ago, blue colour. I don't know if the original ones are blue colour as well? Fuel filter has been replaced, but it was the aftermarket one!

I use 98 ron fuel at all times. The plugs has been done before me according to the service manual. As I understand it's not that easy to access them even just to have a look at them, is there any special tools needed to do the plugs? Here is the link to Serial Number of the pollen filter for 97 T/Tb imported from Japan. https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Vbaaq09prgPvWKwB5bx9Us_Jfzl1cqQgeshTL2PyYkw?feat=directlink
