Hi auto's in Manchester do it scoops for different models
-
Yep, wasn't sure if the newage had same set up. Worth a go at re bleeding. Have you checked the ecu codes for any faults ?
-
What colour you gone for this time ?
-
Maybe intake it your getting warn air into the cabin ? Easiest way to burp is either jack up the front of car, or park uphill. Get a helper makes life so much easier while they squeeze bottom hose you keep an eye on the header tank (do newage have them ?) Check for bubbles and top up as required
-
Yeah I need to book the day off or finish early as I'm not sitting on the m62/180 in traffic for ages [emoji35] You moved house yet ? -
You switched ecu's yesterday?
-
Or could be mapped to clutch pedal and injector cycle open for a fraction longer so extra fuel gets dumped into the bores when clutch depressed. There's a couple of ways of doing it
-
I'm aiming to get over maybe next month or July
-
Great news she's back on rhe road, did you get the brake led sorted in the end
-
Stays solid, I've plugged in the diagnostic software I have and it reads about 86-87° which sounds about right
-
I wouldn't worry too much mate, I put a new rad in and changed the coolant in feb for some longlife stuff seems to be more effective at cooling as my needle now sits a fraction lower and I don't get as much coming into the expansion bottle. Of your worried just keep a small mixed bottle of coolant in the boot and keep an eye on it, or if you're got an android phone get a bluetooth dongle and the torque app then you'll be able to measure your temps a bit more accurately
-
Ok well maybe the coolant you can smell is being forced out the expansion bottle when hot, the level should be on min when cold and around the max mark when hot
-
No worries mate, sorry I couldn't have been of more assistance. You should be able to order a key but I've no idea how much the'll try and sting you for as it will need coding etc Are you having to make it up to all parties now ?
-
Do you loose a bit of torque with lightweight pulleys ?
-
Hi mate glad you got the temp sensor sorted but not good about the other possible issues, I wouldn't worry about the rad being non oem loads of motor factors sell replacmemts as subaru rads a weak and distort and split on the ends like yours did , easiest way to check for air is to run the car for a bit check each end of the rad and the bottom hose if one side or the bottom hose is cold then you'll need to bleed it more, What does your temp gauge read when warm ? The coolant smell could be just a spillage and as it's boiling point is around 230°c it's still sitting on the block or undertray. How full is the expansion tank on the right when cold ?
-
Weird that ! Had a look at leggy manuals from 03 but there's nothing to reference it against, it's not the mcintosh stereo is it ? I'll keep digging around
-
It's not letting me see it on my phone, I'll have a peek later on wifi connection
-
Ah ok you may have to look at us or Japanese sites as there's not a great deal of options for them here in the UK
-
What are you after a different style or on modifing?
-
At what thickness is it recomended to change discs ? I know they start life at 24mm I'm going to measure mine up today as I could do with some pads
-
How much more is the sti to run ? Which is the more practical? Obviously the hatch is a lot newer and has more creature comforts so you'd have to weigh up what you want long term

Hi mate welcome looks nice ! Do you still have the wind deflectors ? There's a couple of people look for some and they fetch good money -
http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/index.php?/topic/2378-Sigma-M30-pre-my00 Sorry forgot to add link, i'm afraid I'm of no use as I have aftermarket alarm sorry mate hope it's something simple
-
Arrgh ! Don't suppose your parked near a radio mast/ telecoms or substation ? These all play havoc with the alarm This is for older models but the sigma alarm hasn't changed much in operation may be of some use
-
I'm still getting a knocking sound at low speed maneuvers from the front and want a few ideas as to where to look next, so far she's had new struts & springs topmounts arb bushes & solid droplinks which stopped 90% of the noises, but sometimes I feel a clunk through the pedals almost like the pedal box isnt secure, so don't think it's entirely suspension related, I'm thinking of changing the steering rack bushes next Maybe it's missing a retainer clip on the pads so I'll look at them soon, is there anything you guys have come across or ideas that I can look into next?
