dhewitt Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 We had the thermostat and water pump replaced with a timing belt change a couple thousand miles ago. Since then, the temperature gauge seems to run a bit hotter than I recall before it settles down to the "normal" place - about half way up. It's not up in that hotter spot for long - 10-15 minutes maybe - but it worries me. Could this be due to an aftermarket thermostat? If so, is it something to worry about?

Legacy777 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 If the thermostat installed was not a subaru thermostat, I'd recommend replacing it with a Subaru thermostat. Most aftermarket thermostats are not as deep, and have different responses to temperature change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Also possibility of air trapped in the system, though I don't think that would give the symptom you are describing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
