Specialist In Swindon?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi Guys,

my other half works in Swindon during the week. She's got a MY04 WRX with a few bolt ons, but has got some sort of coolant problem. It has some symptoms of a HGF, but could just be a large air lock. I bled the system thouroghly a couple of weeks back, so unfortunately it could have a problem.

So, is there a good reputable (preferably non-dealer) specialist down there that could diagnose/fix the problem without trying to rip off a poor girlie? Alternatively, if there's someone techy minded local to Swindon centre that could have a look in exchange for tea and biscuits... ;)

Cheers,

Brunty

Try this. remove radiator cap when engine is cold and then start the car.

look into coolant tank and look for bubbles. if bubbles apearing in the tank then you have an air leak and not an air lock. if no bubbles then sorry not sure without taking a proper look

remind her to replace radiator cap before driving off!

pop it along to the meet on Friday and there will be plenty of people to diagnose and help

She comes home on Friday :wub: We're arranging a car swap so I will have a proper look next week. I got her to bleed the coolant system last night, but strangely the coolant seemed to be pouring out from the middle of the car (the exhaust) once the engine was warm.

I've seen the website for Subaru4you and will have that as a back up incase we can't get the car home.

Cheers guys
