Unhappy need a little help please

hi all
i currently dont own a scooby but a friend of mine does and he has a problem and i was wondering if anyone can help
he has a 1995 wrx wagon and it is a automatic he has just melted one of the pistons and the garage he took it too has told him due to it being an automatic he will need a recon engine
so can anyone tell me if this is true or if not where he can get the parts failing that can anyone recommend a garage in northants area to fix it or fit a recon engine
thanks for your help

Being an automatic makes no difference. If the piston has melted big time, it has probably damaged the liners or block as well, but occasionally you can just replace the damaged piston. Most people get a recon engine swap through a quality company like API Engines.

JB, Thanks for the plug - much appreciated.


If this person is in Wellingboro, we talked yesterday and he's on his way here this morning for us to get him going.

Thanks all, David APi Engines / APi Impreza
