william_young Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 going to work today at half 5 this morning i stopped at a set of lights and there was some light steam coming off the bonnet i thougth just with it heating up the condensation , further down the road stopped for another set of lights its a bit worse this time but keep going as iam nearly at work. stopped at the garage just down the road from work and its quite bad. i got my stuff then on the way out to the car i noticed somethign dripping thinking it would be a burst water pipe i thought i better check it was oil . dont have time to look so drive around the corner and got to work . i finished at 12 on holiday now for 19 days and had a quick look thinking my oil filter had came loose, put more oil in and started it and its pouring out of the timing case at the bottom, looking like the front crank seal is away great start to my hols iam well **** off now. dropped it off at the garage they dont know when they can look at it typical !
wrxmania Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Hope you get it sorted Billy. What car/year is it and what garage do you use? Brian []
craigwrx Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Ouch, sorry to hear that bud, hope u get it sorted without to much expense/hassle ..
william_young Posted July 20, 2006 Author Posted July 20, 2006 just had a call from the guy and its not the crank seal its looking like a problem with the block went and seen it dont know what to do now its a 95 uk turbo does anyone know what the cost of a recon engine might be or the cost to get it overhauled if so please post would be good to get an idea of my next step
oz *sti* Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 not sure what garage you use mate or where you are based might be worth giving Greersport a call they will be able to either give you a price, they know scooby's inside out.
G.T. Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 greersport01505683388 go for a 2.5 mate just a few hundred quid a difference theres always grade a subaru or glenburgie up aberdeen way
william_young Posted July 21, 2006 Author Posted July 21, 2006 were are greensport iam in dundee wont be able to drive the car far
WRC No 1 Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 They are based outside Beith might be worth giving them a call they might be able to give u some advice as people have already said they know scoob's inside out. Claire
bigdavie Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 http://forums.sidc.co.uk/forums/716995/ShowPost.aspx have a look here mate might help you out a hole
boxerboy Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 in march i bought my scooby from mackay trading in edinburgh(great aftersales by the way) i only had it about a month and i noticed steam coming from the bonnet area then the next day i went to check the oil and it was all on the road but lucky enough it was only the rocker gasket cover ( i think thats what its called anyway ) its supposed to be pretty common on subarus hope its back on the road soon mate good luck
the squiggle Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 AWD in Perth would probably be your closest specialist.
william_young Posted July 21, 2006 Author Posted July 21, 2006 i took the car back to the place i got it this morning and they said they would get it looked at by someone so just need to patient now and wiat to see what the they find and what happens next . i hate this waiting bit
