July 30, 201114 yr So, my 97 impreza is playing the over heating game with me Anyways: new radiator/cap coolant is mean and green etc....not showing signs of bad HG. both the main hoses are hot, and i get hot air. anyways: i squeeze the bottom radiator hose, where it connects to thermostat housing, and i hear "click, click, click" coming out of the housing. what the hell is that? bad t-stat or what?
July 30, 201114 yr Most of the time thats just the little pin in the air hole on the thermostat housing. I know pins not the word for the little thing but i cant think of the name of it
July 30, 201114 yr Author I would suspect a bad stat, air pocket trapped in the cooling system, or both. i shall order one then, and burp the system.... 2.2 with 127k miles on it. meticulously maintained....two owners(dad and me) no way is it the HGs....if it were a 2.5 that would be a possibility.
July 30, 201114 yr Author well, i let it sit for four hours. get in start it up: temp gauge shoots right up. grabbed a CTS and just waiting for it to cool down so i can throw it in.
