everything mentioned here is what im going thru now with my 98 RX Lib, i must agree brilliant motorcar, its certainly growing on me..... Not to keen on having to spend $2700 on getting the heads redone tho :( if my outcome the same.... dont happen to have any pics of the damage to the head/s cause i...

hmmmmm, what about a H6 conversion? possible? has anyone done this swap before?

as a side note it does sound like you have air entering the system. But maybe you have an air pocket causing trouble, sometimes they can be really really hard to get rid of. A little trick to ensure youre removing all the air is.. 1. Jack up the car sso the engine is pointing upwards 2. Fill up the...

recently went through EXACTLY the same problme with my sisters ej22. we ended up doing a full motor swap. After doing everything you have tried I still had the same problem. I beleive it to be a corroded water gallery internally. alex damn.... now im getting worried Ditched the block and rebored an...

yep same symptoms you had a gas test done on your coolant? although that showed nothing for me ... too intermittant i guess what is your mechanic saying it is? hey frog yeh mechanic saying he has done the cooant test and has come back fine and he did it on a few occasions after a couple of drives j...

Sounds rather like a small water leak, or a headgasket starting to fail. If you can hear the water gurgling, it means you've lost some coolant somewhere. Often a small leak goes unnoticed as the coolant evaporates on a hot engine and the leak stops when the engine cools.... The cooling system toler...

im having cooling problems with my 98 liberty :( its a RX DOHC EJ25 auto model its quite hard to describe the symptoms but i will do my best so please bear with me: The issues seems to arise after long drives. There are NO leaks and there isnt and water getting into the oil but the cooling system se...

"am i getting bad fuel economy?? " Hopefully this doesn't sound too impolite, but how the frack should I know? Go away and measure it. Fill the fuel tank and zero the tripmeter. Drive. Next time you refuel after that, note how many km you've done, and how many litres of petrol it takes to completel...

well still no word back from this car yard about replacing this knock sensor or checking the faults with their "scanner"... not happy about that i tell ya. I have noticed tho that since i been running the car on BP ultimate (which i do with any car i own) that the check engine light has since stoppe...

just wondering if im getting bad fuel economy from my Gen2 MY98 liberty as i struggle to get 500km to a tank! My daily commute to work is about 40km each way, 35 of those are on the motorway @ 110km/h.... so just thought id pop the question. I only use BP ultimate fuel or a 98 octane and am on my 3r...

You could do the fault codes yourself, heres the link - error codes parts are easily found over ebay (ive brought them from America) or retail stores... Cheers AP Thanks AP! i just did the error code check, only had to plug in 2 black connectors together tho, but soon as i did the check engine ligh...

well got the car home, will post up some pics in a day or so...

Anyone recommend a good service book like a gregorys etc? cheers

thanks guys.... about to finalise the sale this week and the caryard is getting the mechanic to check the fault and also sending the car to my mechanic too just to be sure.

well so far everything seems to check out....except one thing happened on the test drive.... the check engine light came on:(... mainly under acceleration (not always tho) and also stayed on whilst going around a big round about til i turned off it... but that kinda symptom seems like low oil but we...
