Need Help!

I have been away from the forum for a year due to illness (old name was pottsy but have forgotten password and have changed email so wa easier to relist as DHP)

Anyway I have a problem. The car (Stingray) went in for an MOT today and failed. It sprung a leak from its ABS system during the test: !

It seems as though a pipe has either developed a hairline crack or where the pipe joins the ABS unit has a failed seal - either way, whenever the brake pedel is pressed hard, fuid spings out of the system.

It is one of the 2 pipes that run top to bottom of the unit on the on the front end of the ABS unit (facing front of car).

Can I replace the pipe/seal or should I replace the whole unit?

Who knows of where such parts are available?

Is the ABS unit (mechanical element ranther than the electronics) employed on any other subaru - to aid in finding parts.

Any help verymuch appreciated.

The only SVX (that I am aware of) in Northern Ireland is grounded !!

yours David

Hello David

I have already sent you a PM on this, with links to a US site for parts.

If memory serves, Isti had parts from the car he was breaking. I seem to remember he had this unit for sale on eBay, but it did not sell. I could be wrong about that, it's a while ago.

Contact me again, I will give you some emails or phone numbers to check it out.

Any progress on it this week?

Joe

If you want me to send you your password, let me know. I can do that by email if you let me know your address and the exact handle that you used before. If you want me to change it to another password, I can do that for you too. Good luck on the car.
