One of my Pipes has a hole in it.
I was able to patch it up for a temporary fix. But I am after another pipe it goes from the top of the radiator to the block. I wondered if anyone knows where I can get one mailorder preferably.
It is a MY95 WRX (Jap import).

Out of interest has this happened to anyone else? any ideas what may have caused it I am hoping wear and tear but thought high oil Pressure could do it (currently 78,000 miles).

Cheers


David

Ouch. This happened to me a few months back. Steam was coming out of my bonnet and it got rather embarressing. Sourced one out from a Legacy in a scrapyard and (touch wood) its still holding..

Happened to me a s well.

I got a lift to the local scooby garage & said I had a Uk scooby & did they have one of these hoses, they said they had never heard of such a thing happening, but ordered one for the next day, about £21 I think, when I took the old one off it feel all crusty when squeezed.

Just try Scooby dealer with out taking the car & say you have a UK supplied car

Seems to be a common fault, all the tops hoses are the same, just go to your local subaru dealer. Cant remember the price, but it isnt expensive.
