Yet another problem!!
I was drivin along on my way to work today and my heaters went cold as ice, then went red hot, then my temp gauge hit the red!
So im asuming that my head gaskets went to the cleaners.
Anyway, My question is, can any1 tell me which head gasket kit do i need for a 2003 wrx?
Thanks

Might not be, might just be an airlocked coolant system.
Get a sniff test done at a reputable garage before fearing the worst.

You would need to fully bleed the coolant system to sort the airlock
