Finally got a new wiper reservoir after cracking the original a few years back! ;D

Sweet thanks, have only used degreaser on individual parts before not in and around the engine. Crazy the places that fluid managed to get while it was leaking!

A little good morning update! Decided to keep the cooling pipes, got some new hose and clips yesterday everything worked a treat. Scary thing was pulling the old hose\'s off and having the outer wall crumble because it was so brittle, kind of glad I broke the seal of the bad lines/clips by replacing the radiator, could have lead to much worse. Just left with a mess in the engine bay from the lost fluid on everything, and the lovely smell from it burning off. Any tips in that department would be nice...

Thanks for the reply and advice, sorry about the double up. Tried using the search function with different key words before posting.

Hi everyone, new to Club Sub! I have a 96 Wrx manual wagon (have owned for 8 years, love it!) anyway after a second OEM radiator failure I decided to upgrade to a nice aluminium unit, running like a dream after install with the extra capacity/cooling. My question is that in the process of replacement I had to shift the power steering cooling pipes out of the way which sit in front of the radiator, considering the pipes are original it seems they have degraded over time and the shifting and twisting of them has caused a leak. I was just going to replace the pipes and also considered looping the pipe and taking the cooler out, some Subaru\'s have em some don\'t, do you guys think they are necessary on a daily driver or not? Any help would be much appreciated!
