This?



Yes. I could live with that. I'd also be able to track it while working my way up to a big boy car.

Also, Boxster Spyder is ****...

Tom, i have been told by numerous sources.. dont drink the water (ask for drinks with no ice) but other than that, everything gets deepfried to a crisp at the street stalls, so be adventurous and try some strange ****

Haha yes, beware of this! There are deep fried stalls everywhere. And from what I can tell, the food sits out there all day!

Hotel should provide you with bottled water everyday. Don't drink out of the taps

Broke cooling hoses on the Leggy as well mate ??

At least called in to work = $$$$$$

[Alex]

Popped a cooler hose again.

Yeah Dyls, you know where.

Replaced that freaking gimp clamp. In the rain.


Can't bloody wait until this new motor is here. Then I'll go through and replace every last clamp.

Yea it happend to my mate who has a MY99 RX.

I've just heard for the Gen2 it is 'when', but for everything else, it's an 'if'.
Fortunately I looked after my Gen2 and it never happened.

HG's can fail in any car. I just never thought Subaru's from 01 onwards were known for it...

I Want to punch that guy in the head right now..

it happend to a friends mum uncles friends testicles mate...

******* hearsay

FFS.


No, Subaru have not just started using MLS gaskets..where did he get this bull **** from?
and porche using graphite coated gaskets because they are better? wtf
firstly, EJ25D (Quad cam) or Double over head as the "D" stands for... was the first to have the issue, as far as a internal combustion>coolant leak, this was from a OEM single layer graphite composite gasket..

secondly, they release a revised gasket for them which is MLS(multi layer steel) in 2004 i think it was, but dont hold me to that.

EJ25 (in gen3 rx's which is a SOHC engine) experiences external coolant DRIP from the headgasket, this is not as problematic as in EJ25D, as it does not cause issues unless the engine is driven dry, PLENTY of people have continued to drive them like that just topping them up as need be, and they are fine.

the reason subaru have not been required to do a re-call or anyting like that is it is concidered reasonable the time the engines last without needing the HG replaced.. usually upwards of 150,000kms
FFS a mates parents A class had to have its CVT tranny replaced at 80,000kms and it was not under warranty, it is apparently normal for them to die at that amount (do a google search for A class CVT Failure) this again is concidered reasonable (there is a legal term for how long **** should last for its price but i cant remember it right now.. gone blank)

also.. with the Gen3's its only some that have the issue, if good coolants were not used... that is what caused the issue, a gen3 RX's serviced at subaru or someone who is close to subaru shouldn't have the issue for long time as they had a bulliten that was put out and revised the services to include a "Coolant conditioner" this was only for gen3RX's as the gasket failure was of a different nature than why EJ25D's failed..

i cant be stuffed typing any more about it.. but i know a shitload about this subject cause i researched the **** outta it when mine went, and working at SubaBits i got the ins and outs of it from a few EX Subaru Australia MECHANICS not just Fitters but the QUALIFIED MECHANICS that worked there.. Which there is usually only 1 per dealership.. just so you know.

it was never issued to them to hide the fact or lie about it.. but they were advised to explain it is NOT a warranty service claim due to the product being reasonable quality/reliability for the price/age. again i cant remember the actual term.. but yeah thats about it...

go to town on that illinformed knobster.

[Dylan]

What a pain in the arse mate. You coming Hooters tomorrow night ?

I should remember to include information like this in other areas rather than just the general thread

[skillionaire]

Guess you have seen this before, Nik ?

It would want to go 0-100 in under 3.5 because it looks like ******* arse.

Popped a collar

Haha PLEEEEASE go into that thread and write all that! In numerous threads on that site I've argued with him about the same issue. However, I don't have enough knowledge on it all and he never gives up.

Trust you to hold a man's testicles close to your head to listen what they have to say to you...

Get your rant on!

Who's giving you sh1t?

Headgaskets suck. Its just funny that EJ22s don't appear to suffer such problems like the EJ25D did.

But it doesn't matter. Because NA motors don't matter.

hth.

NA motors do matter Alex

They get us turbo boys by while we replace stupid hose clamps, turbo gaskets, FLANGES, and other stupid things.

Think of all the times the astra has saved you , and me !

You need an OUTBACK

[DukeNik'em]

Trouble on the Interwebz?

People talking smack about Subarus.

You'll have to speak up, I'm wearing a towel.

Nobody needs an Outback, unless their going antiquing.

[skillionaire]

Yo my dude did you just foul out with the antiquing card? Homie I hope you pulled three red lines before committing to that sentence. Real talk. Nawmean? Outback. Bin lids. Game. Over.
