Hi folks 1993 legacy turbo,

Just got a new radiator as last one popped, after i turn the engine off you can hear gurrgling. Water is being spat out of the overflow pipe, temp gauge reads normal.

Help please.

Andi

 

Sounds like an air block in the system, with the engine running remove your rad cap (Carefully) and repeatedly sqeeze the lowest coolant hose until all the air is expelled.

Zippy

 

I had this when my thermostat went.
Had an airlock I couldnt shift no matter how much squeezing i did.
In the end i took the top hose off the rad and manually fille dit with water/coolent
then all was well!.

hope this helps ?

 

Nice one Magnet,

How the leggy doing, i wanted to buy it back you know!
But me and Dave got this nail at 'much dizcount price'.

Done the engine on thing and squeezed the lowest pipe many time, got wet, filled it up, held it 2000rpm then filled it again and put the top on.

Now its not spitting out water but still bubbling and gurrgling

What now? make a list to take to Daves house?

Dave ses your head gaskets gone!

Leggy going well but needed new calipers as they seized!

 

Huummmm, head gasket you say.

Sounds like an excuse to waste the best part of a grand on sti pistons, impreza heads and tripple layer sti gasket set.

No doubt i will get round to fitting the td05 and fmic i bought a while back and torture Dave until he changes the inlet.

Wooopeeee! NOT

 

looks better now.. Oi those are my wheels

shame about the tapes we had to loose..

David

 

Ive still got the megamix tape in the car, i was gonna put it on ebay.

But yes damn shame about those other 2 that we loved so much.

 

They bounced across the M1 quite well..

David

 

Looks smart Andy.

full colour coding

Id like mine to be black!

 

Funny, the day after i sprayed it i thought the same thing but blue roolz for now.
