right my subaru as lost all it's power its like driveing a sport as it feels like theres no turbo and ive noticed that when you rev it there is a load of water coming from the exhaust and emteying the bottle and the heats are blowing cold but not sure if it is the turbo thats gone or the head gasket so as anyone got an ideas

 

Sounds like head gaskets to me mate sorry it's gonna be costly

well think i might start to put it apart

 

Good for you I'm sure you'll manage "to put it apart" in know time. Do you have a haynes manual ??

 

haynes manual lol, it's not an easy job i hear

 

Engine out for a start !! I'm just about to do the head gaskets on a 1998 STi Ra two door, I was thinking about writing a tutorial with pix if anyone would be interested. But remember it's a three day job for us "The Ra will be our fourth back to back" prob 4 days if I have to take pix and write it all up. If you're not a mechanic I'd suggest taking it to a local specialist who will charge you around £750 to £800 rem the gaskets can come to £200 and you have to change the timing belt at the same time so thats on top of the £750 also. How old is your clutch ?? It's prob gonna need done as well £195 ish.

I never new that 2 door ra's were made.I thought 2 doors were type r and p1, but i maybe wrong. I dont know who's chargin £750- £800 for a timing belt (main stealers not that price). Dont bother looking for a haynes manual as i dont think they do one for the impreza. Its always good to check your clutch when eng is out but if it was fine before yer gasket went, itll still be fine.....

 

I quoted the bloke £750 - £800 for the engine out heads skimmed and new gaskets. "You need ta go to spec-savers" mate

Ive seen the pish you write on other threads , you think you know it all. You didnt quote for that. Thats why you have edited your post at 00.21 this morning.

 

I'm a mechanic you fool, I edited it cause after your earlier statment I realised you where to stupid to understand punctuation!! Ask your teacher when your at school tomorrow mate !!!!

 

There's mechanics, there's subaru mechnics and then there you. Probably just out o college. As for punctuation you dont know grammer "you were too stupid to understand." muppet!!..... Back to the ops question now. Prob a gasket mate...

 

Well I've been a mechanic now for 25 years, self employed for 15. I've got a house in the country two impreza turbo's a nissan 300zx twin turbo and a couple of sports bikes. Still recon your better qualified than me?? "Not that I really care what you think"
