Hey all, firstly hope everyone had a lovely christmas

What I am looking for is a picture of a MY03STi engine from the top and then the parts labelled, for example..intercooler..header tank...etc..etc
does anyone have 1 or can help me source 1 please?

the reason is I have had my car since july and i am unsure about 1 thing, and rather than asking the question i'm trying to find the answer myself as i know its going to be a simple answer (like whats the switch on the steering column which took me about a month to figure out lol)

thanks
Jazz

Slipstream has a thread in the Technical Topics Archive forum with workshop manuals for the various MYs. Yours might be there. Free to download the PDFs from the links supplied - all he asks is that you kindly bump the thread with a grateful comment or two...

Yeah, what's your specific Q then?

ok ok well i did try to find the answer, ok basically what doesnt make sense is why is there 2 coolant caps? 1 on the rad, theres a header tank next to it which i get is for overflow but why is there another location up near the left of the intercooler?

The left of the intercooler is your clutch fluid fella, Do NOT put water in it.......

ok i've circled in RED the two caps (not my car but same thing)

Good Q.

Why does the New Age have a second cap (on the rad.)? Anyone?

[QUOTE=joz8968;9783289]Good Q.

Why does the New Age have a second cap (on the rad.)? Anyone?[/QUOTE well i thinks when you fill up with water after being drained undo the one on the rad and fill up it makes life 10x easyer to fill up from header tank no squeezing the pipes to get water through no air locks.
I Could be wrong.

Ah yes. That makes sense.

In that case Subaru - yes that's you, Subaru! - why didn't you do it for the Classics? Surely it wasn't beyond your wit and drive?!

Only the UK cars had the 2nd cap, the JDM`s didnt.

wow i thought I would of had loads of replys with the answer

That's even more curious(?)

This begs the question: are these capped rads a straight swap for JDM non-capped ones. Or would it 'upset' their coolant system's way of working?
