think my engine is dead
 

Hi guys....this past week the car has been unhappy to start...sort of fires up then dies then at a 2nd go fires up...but abit lumpy.
I took maf off to clean and noticed alot of oil....I went to back of the car and noticed small oil splats over boot and bumber...
Car dosent smoke....but does stink of fuel....
today the lumpyness has got worst and car has lost power... have I done a piston ring??

:(

Idk about your engine ,, i do know mafs are really fragile and even a squirt of electrical cleaner can kill them ,, could it be the maf has just died ?

No that's maff, or boost leak or simply coolant temp sensor,
Wouldn't think it's dead buddy

What about the oil????

it may not be oil.
If the car smells of fuel, it may be unburnt fuel going through the exhaust and picking up the soot from in the exhaust pipes on the way to the exit

Oil us turbo oil buddy a 94/95 wrx is bound to have some lol pull your intercooler off same in there too

Well iv done a compression test today...shes dead....cylinder 4 zero...

so I need a engine now... gutted

yep thats a pain. get a 2nd hand engine?

Blimey surprised you killed her buddy, worth finding out with as don't want the same to happen again

That will be the cheaper route....finding a distant 1 will be the mission..

Iv no idea...she was running well...iv be told that cylinder 4 is the 1 that normaly goes...

Rebuild it :-D

You should have a CDB, unless its been changed already. Finding a working CDB engine will be hard. Non CDB easy, everyone sells them.

My V1 has a non CDB in it at the mo, as its sat on floor in the shed waiting to be stripped and rebuilt.

Iv sorced a complete v2 wrx 406 silver for £600 no tax or mot...has 88k on clock. Pick car up 2mo....:)

Goodman engine swap on the cards then .

Yeah gona drop engine in mine changed cambelt...im hoping gear box is good as mine was on its way....theres afew bits ill nick then ill be breaking the rest...

Wow Chris - sorry to hear about your bad luck - but great news on the cheap 2nd hand car find... Hope you'll be back up and running soon bud.

Ryan :ok:

Just a small update.....engine and box now replaced with excedy pink box clutch....appy days:)

Was the swap a nice smooth one? how does the new engine run now its in?

Nice chap Richard isn't he, cars in safe hands there.

Yes richard at southeast subaru spares looked after me...he done the job and took my dona car as but of the deal....

The engine and box have only done 88k so yes it feels tighter and sharper....also with the new clutch just nicer to drive

Where did ya get ya pink box mate?

Leon whos a member on here....came out of his car....it hadnt done any work..he done me a nice deal...:doubleup:

Glad all back together and feeling strong , you need to find orignal course, prova ecu would worry me, I ran one for a week and boys on here will tell you had bad my wrx sounded after 4laos round brands lol

Iv fitted the polar chipped ecu back in and to be fair the car feels better...I really want esl...
