I have had my 2001 Legacy for about 6 months and I have done a ton of work on the engine, mostly just to keep it from overheating. It has been overheating since about a month after I bought it. I first put a new thermostat in it and that seemed to work at first. After a few months of driving on that, it started overheating again and I had one of my friends who is a Subaru mechanic work on it to get it to stop overheating and he can't figure it out either. He is also about to get married and his fiance is pregnant so he doesn't have the time to come over to check it out and I can't afford to take it in to a shop. So I am hoping one of you great Subaru enthusiasts would be alble to help me out here with some suggestions and tips possibly. I have had the water pump changed, timing redone, timing belt changed, new radiator hoses-top and bottom, new thermostat (actually TWO new thermostats, I just re-replaced it today thinking that the problems went all the way back around to the thermostat again, but it overheated once it was up to temp for about five miles.) I noticed that the two radiator fans run constantly and shut off after turning on, so they are on and off non stop, they never really run constant. The lower radiator hose seems to be leaking due to coolant not being able to be passed through the thermostat, which is why I changed it again today. There are no signs of a head problem; no water in oil at least... I'm lost, scared and confused without my little precious car to drive around... please help...
