Those no spill funnels are a godsend on a Subaru, I use mine every time I mess with the coolant now and haven't had any issues with having to burp the system afterwards. Amazing
Alright new vid again, Great Content as always, I prayed that you will get more a thousands of subscribers and be famous soon. You have alot of potential and talent keep it up.
Great video. I know one thing for certain is that if you have an AOS you can get rid of the hard line and bracket because one of the AOS hoses runs to the valve cover breather or vent.
Thanks so much for covering this! There are other videos on YT dealing with this but yours had the most detail. I did this on my 03 WRX recently thinking an injector might be causing misfires as replacing the coil packs and plugs didn't work. Unfortunately replacing the injectors did not fix my misfire, but getting rid of the GBOD's will greatly aid in future work in those areas.
@@calebschmidt2869 Unfortunately I still have the misfire. I have some other sensors (cam, cranshaft position) to try which I don't think will do anything. After that I'll do a compression test. The car has 228k on it so it won't be shocking if it's an internal issue.
@@desirelines9 mine runs fine then when I slamm on the gas it misfires I'm thinking maybe it's my 02 sensor on the header Bc it's not working an I just did the spark plugs an coils packs along w compression test everything passed so maybe it's the 02 sensor ? Idk need help w someone's opinion
@@calebschmidt2869 I also did the forward O2 sensor (air/fuel monitoring) already, but that made no change to the misfire issue. The misfire codes I get are too generic to pinpoint where it is. I've also heard to check ground wires, fuel pressure regulator/pump, etc.., My guess is compression but I need to test it to be sure. It's my only car so I'm still driving it around while I look for a new vehicle. It's struggles here and there but it still gets me where I need to go. It still boosts fine as well though I'm not mashing the gas pedal down. Good luck finding out what it is!
I feel your pain. I had the exact same experience with mine. I left both brackets off and used a longer hose in place of the attached hard line. My TPS connector broke too so I bought an extension that fits the connector and just plug the individual wires on it. Luckily they stay connected. Right now I’m having misfires and I can’t drive it. It’s bad enough that I’m losing power and barely able to drive. There’s always something........ :(
Picked up injectors and all new seals for my '98 Legacy GT from Rock Auto. I know it's not the exact same engine, NA 2.5 H4 in my car. But still. Awesome WRX and Saturn's are really nice little cars, great for a daily.
great video, thanks for showing me what i'm about to be up against. REALLY good to know that you can delete those damn brackets... removal is hard enough- can't imagine how bad installation must be with the engine still in the car
@@ej_was_here no worries! Iv'e stripped many a bolt learning the hard way. Good luck! It was awesome seeing your face progressively get more and more dirty as you worked on the car. Happens to me all of the time, still dont wear gloves haha.
When I did my jdm refresh I "deleted" the Ugg green brackets and ran some gates breather hose in place of the oem and attached metal hose. Bypassed that garb and saved some weight cause race car
I've got a 2004 wrx wagon with 241k miles on it that is leaking fuel into the oil. I am going to inspect the injectors, so thanks for the video! Hoping it's something simple, maybe just needing a cleaning. It's been burning oil like crazy the past year or two, so I was quite surprised to find the oil level higher than I left it when I checked today...it's always been lower in the past. :) Smells like fuel in the oil.
The gearwrench grabs the nut or bolt from the flat side as do sockets with more than six sides those hex sided and open-end wrenches grab the bolt or nut on the corners and if they're old and worn then the corners cant hang as well as the flat side so then go with one of those types tools, not hexagonal socket or an open-end wrenches which are more for speed not torque. That injector job took a lot of guts.
thank you so much for making this video! tbh i was gonna switch around cil 1 to 3 to see if my misfire is the injector but instead i will do EVERYTHING prior to injectors🥲 that looks hella brutal on passenger side
not quite yet. probably will do that and more when i rebuild this engine! or i may buy another engine build it outside of the car and then drop it in when this one blows🤔
You saved my Scooby. Injector problem so couldnt even get my car to the garage. Replaced all 4 after watching your vid. Thankyou for your help. 👊🏼🙂

What ended up being the misfire I have the same problem rn

@@desirelines9cam shaft are out of place or need to do timing belts
Small socket set with a really long extension and a wobble socket should help. PB blaster first and let it soak.

In the UK that's a Vauxhall Astra, it's mainland Europe that use the Opel brand and Australia use Holden
yes! lots of different versions
i was not expecting the car to be that clean lmao engine bay looked nice too

Should i disconnect the battery for all this work though?

How did u get the “24:07” time stamp bolt out I’m struggling lmao
If you're using 12 point sockets, they will always strip 6 point bolts that are torqued kind of heavy, or havent been moved in a while.
thx for the tip!

good idea
gotta love it, i hate when people post videos and leave out the "minor setbacks". also now i need to grab a peach snapple STAT..
trying to keep it real !
Great video and nice tats! Building a Subaru rally car now and about to do the injectors! 🙂

Hey, did you diagnose the problem.. Because I've got fuel in my oil, doesn't smoke or misfire.. Allegedly new rings too
@@PhillTheVwGuru im having similar issues did the injectors help phil?
How’s the car now a days
how many miles are on your bug? i've got an 06 foz with 100,000. might be worth replacing some of these in mine too
188k
5:25 it's always nice to be right lol
the best feeling
what bov are you using there? is that one of them 50 atmospheric and 50 return ones?
hks bov full atmospheric
I’ve got a misfire on cyl 3 but I’ve done spark plugs and coils so I’m going to be doing this soon 😢
good luck! 🙏
Did you ever figure out what it was? I'm on the same boat right now

good to know! thank ya🙏💫
Why didn’t you get bigger ones after all that ?? 😂
Good job! I like to hire you to replace mine too!
Nice job , I've got to do this next week 👍🏼👌🏼❤
good luck !
thank you so much for making this video! tbh i was gonna switch around cil 1 to 3 to see if my misfire is the injector but instead i will do EVERYTHING prior to injectors🥲 that looks hella brutal on passenger side
Did I miss the part where she changed the passenger side injectors?
Where did you buy the injectors? Website
Rock auto
Finally, let's gooo
🙌🙌
Not upgrading injectors & fuel pump? While you're at it
not quite yet. probably will do that and more when i rebuild this engine! or i may buy another engine build it outside of the car and then drop it in when this one blows🤔
@@ej_was_here sounds like a solid plan and some fun too!
Good content, thanks!

😂😂 omw !
Great videos!
thank u! 🙏
Hi ! you should have completly remove the octopus or Manifold Air, it would have made your task much easier
Noted for next time. Thanks🤘
@@ej_was_here you're welcome!
nice outro, cargirl
