Hi guys,

Apart from the actual gaskets and o-rings for the bolts is there anything else that needs changing? Is this an easy enough job to DIY? I'm fairly handy with a spanner but could never be called a mechanic (or should that be technician? )

Cheers,

Wouldn't mind knowing myself as I seem to have an oil leak from the left had side one on my scoob

PaulHop

Goddamnit!!! Thought I had an answer then Charlie!

Tis annoying seeing smoke out the scoop tho eh?

Gasket, and seals for bolts... thats all I would expect... as subaru when you order the parts, I would expect it to be a common job.

Charlie,

I've just got off the phone from my dealer, and the gaskets/o-rings etc to replace both sides come in at about £65. Not too bad, just need to find the time to replace them.
Anyone know how long this should take? So I can add another day for me to do it!!

Cheers,

Mr Wallis,

As an accomplished Scooby spanner-man, (I've read your DIY threads!!) do you know what size the o-rings are, as the dealer wants £1.20 each FFS and you need 12 to do the job [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] Just for an o-ring! Surely they are cheaper elsewhere.....

there not just o-rings iirc.. you could not bother replacing them and then replace later if necessary.. Ie one at a time

Cheers Dave,

Any chance of taking a few photo's along the way for future reference to others? After the fun I've had with mine recently, I'll leave changing mine to someone else. David, do you fancy a job

I had them replaced on mine, think it was an hour per side labour

Yeah about an hour either side if you don't get distracted and start cleaning all sorts of stuff while you have the air plumbing, washer and battery out.
