Dee Man Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 16 minutes ago, RandomGuy. said: We use it on virtually every power steering job, have done for the 5 years I've worked there, and never had any bother with it. ATF is just a generic hydraulic fluid thats capable of doing any hydraulic job as far as I'm aware. Easiest way to see if its the right thing, is to see what colour the fluid is that was already in it, usually a choice between green and red. If you're just using it for a top up then you'll be grand, but I would say its not something that should disappear without there being a leak. I just looked at it again earlier and it actually says automatic transmission fluid and power steering fluid on the front label. Apologies for wasting everyone's time. I don't know if it's a leak or just evaporated or whatever it does over time. It was just below the minimum level so nothing major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'd keep an eye on the level, as its 99/100 a leak that causes the level to drop, and the last thing you want is to lose the power steering while driving.

RandomGuy. Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Are the 2.4 engine the 160hp ones? Also I'm desperate for a Evo8 one day, one of the 320 monsters. Look lovely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look lovely I've got no idea but I'd say it's more than that as I had an MG ZT 2.5 V6 190hp before and this feels easily as powerful as that.

jimmy boo Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 No, but it might as well be. It's a 2.4 fucking flying machine with an exhaust you could walk up and a spoiler you could eat your dinner off. We had an Antonov fly directly over our house a few months back and there is not much difference in decibel levels. It's a pain in the arse noise wise but we had 48 hrs to buy a car a few months back and that's the best value for money we could find at the time. Here it is against tonight's beautiful sunset: It looks like an Evo. Has it been mapped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look lovely I do like the Evo and was surprised they stopped importing them. Stonking performance but they just don't sound that special. Which is part of the reason I'm on my third Impreza.

I don't have a scooby but it's not got the vents or side skirts that Evo's do and it's just an ES in the logbook. I wouldn't know how to tell but I wouldn't be surprised if it's had a bit of tinkering done or if this is how it came off the production line.

Dealer wants£800 for exhaust for better soundtrack upgrade to keep my warranty intact. Or I can go elsewhere and take the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
