Prwa101 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Are you saying coolant is over flowing out of the Radiator overflow tank? Just had the same thing happend to my fiancés car this last summer, the Rad was clogged. New ones go for 120ish$ Is it over heating too? Comp I don't think would tell you much being that old, unless the cel is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prwa101 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Water pump belts look fine? When was the last water pump done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigsti Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 the belts look to be in good shape and the water pump was replaced around 4 weeks ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prwa101 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Mk so pretty much the hole water system was replaced. Well the only other thing I can think of is a blown headgasket from I between the cyl and te water jackets. (causing pressure in the water system). Bubbles under the rad cap when its on? Did it get hot before you replaced all this stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigsti Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 yea the old radiator sprung a leak when my dad was driving it home last month i was thinking it was a head gasket also but i dont think i will be fixing this one thanks for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FNG Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Use a Subaru OEM thermostat (if you are not already). They are like $15 and there is a big difference. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=126278 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
