first the rad cracked and it overheated , so we replaced it with one with one from a wrx that fitted the sti double fans , filled it with coolant etc , car would not overheat but temp shot up if ya gave it a bit of welly or any prolonged period of boost , quick blast no probs .
then on the wat to swms the bottom rad hose split and temp shot up , got towed to swms , got a new rad hose and fitted it , filled it back up with water , engine running pumping correct etc etc car will idle and stay exactly where it should , but if you drive it even slow for more than 5 mins it overheats , and there is a smell in the rad bottle of fuel when its hot .
there is plenty of flow to the heater matrix , but no heat coming out at all. and we cant check the return , may mean taking out the intercooler tomorrow .oh and the oil temp has never exceeded 100 degrees .
