Hi there just looking for some advice where my technical ability is most lacking !!! I have just sold my 95 WRX and replaced her with a gleaming Silver 95 Sti and am very happy unfortunately the Expansion bottle has split around the rim near the cap at the top and coolant leeks out.
I have had a gasket test and that is fine. What do i need to replace? the whole expansion bottle(With the cap,where you add coolant) or more. Does it need to be an STi one or any Impreza or WRX. Thanks for your help

Speak to Andy at http://www.gradea-suabru.co.uk. I got one off him last week, complete with all the hoses

Thanks a lot. How much is the standard Subaru Expansion tank and will that fit my 95 Sti or do I have to get one of a Jap import

iirc sti,wrx and uks are the same,but change on a 98 to a better part that has different outlets and not made of digestive biscuit

Bullet Boy

Thanks Care 3. Is the 98 expansion tank a better version that the older ones. You reference to digestive biscuits - is this a common complaint because it split at the top of the tank by the metal rim that goes round it???

98 is a better design, full metal job,but you would have to modify it to fit the bolt holes and youd have to get new coolant hoses as it has diferent inlets and outlets
yes it is a common fault,thats why i changed mine b4 it went,i can sell you my old one if you like

Bullet Boy

Is you old one ok. What car have you got. If it's cheap then yeah i'll probably have it. Will it last for a while!

Standard replacement about 40 quid

i have a 95 wrx
off the top of my head 20 quid
thing with these is could last a week could last two years

Bullet Boy

That will be ok for a 95 Sti then, is it the same part? Cheers mate
