regards baz

 

This may sound silly but have you kept a close eye on the coolant level?

I had this prob last year for a few months and finaly found a slight leek in the pipe that cools the turbo.
Had sensors changed and everything before hand but turned out to be loosing only a slight bit of water (it was really hard to spot)
Last thing you want is a shot engine

 

eh no never checked that i will have a look at that in the morn cheers how thick am i feeling now (first subaru used to be fords lol)
cheers mate

 

No worries. Hope it is somthing simple like that.
Good luck mate

 

i checked and topped up coolant level it is not as bad but still rises to the top but takes longer could it be a sensor or something

 

Make sure when you top up that you get all the air out by squeezing the rad hose.
It should bubble a little as you do this and the level will drop if its not full.

Keep an eye out for any tiny leeks. There was no sign of water when this happened to me as it was a tiny crack in the banjo pipe that sat by the turbo.

Maybe a sensor... I had mine changed at subaru but it was'nt the problem and even they did'nt spot it at first
It may well be in your case though if your not sure get it checked out ASAP

To much Overheating will lead to

 

cheers will get thar checked out

 

ok i have checked the pipes for air etc and i noticed the pipe at the bottom of the coolant bottle has a very small leak as there is white residue on the pipe and jubilee clip and some water in the area next to it aswell
any suggestions to where i get the pipe from or can i get a better one than standard or iam i better going to subaru for it
cheers baz
