hello matey how are you and helen??

I'd be taking professional advice on that, I'm afraid it might be time to invest in an STi short block. Doesn't sound well at all IMHO.

hi, i did the oil change like u said, but still this tapping arhh but the car flys now its got alot more go in it. ive been looking on youtube at prob every scooby tapping vid going. ive found one even tho its not my model its the same sound in every way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrdMpLPUu3c if u could have a listen it might give u an idear what im dealing with.. thanks

oh sorry i didnt read it right lol, fill the filter with oil let it soak in and top off 3 times. got ya. thanks

hi thanks for your reply,

it had 5w40 synthetic oil in the engine when i bought it, but i put in 5w30 part synthetic as a top up i didnt change the oil fully. after the top up i started hearing a tapping on a cold start after the car warms up the tapping dissapears or is vey faint. im doing a full oil change tomorrow! u say put oil in the filter before it fitted how much? should i also use a engine flush before i drop the oil out or the car or not bother.. thanks for the help

hi can i ask u a question lol,,hi i put semi synthetic oil in my subaru impreza wrx 2003 after buying it. the oil was quite low but still enuff on the dip stick. i notice on the service sheets the car always had 5w 40 synthetic used always. since putting the oil in i seem to be suffering from a knocking/tapping noise at low revs when cold. i think it must be piston slap as it dies down when the engine is warm. but seems strange how its started since ive put the new oil in. is it the thinner oil or part synth that has caused it? what can or should i do to stop it.

Hi I happened to see a post from you before about eSellerate engine. I was wondering could you tell me where I could download the cracked version?
