hey guys i gotta 94wrx just want to no were the thermostat on these thing are located will also like to no how to flush radiator out n also signs ov a cracked head.

[rex-leggy]

follow the bottom rad hose to the water pump.

the thermostat is inside the piece the hose mounts to.

2 bolts and itll pop off.

im guessing you are having overheating problems?

[1bngn4]

well i bort a car guy reckons it didnt overheat he sed it blew the little hose on the filler tank to the rad. but waters pretty dirty oils not milky. n plus aircons removed. anything to chek for

[1bngn4]

ok were does the hoses on filler tank go is it the one on tne neck go to filler tank and other one goes to radiator. an my temp gauge aint working it goes up probely just over the bottom line then when fan kicks in it drops wat could b causing this

[rex-leggy]

could be many things the sender could be buggerd for the gauge. could be a blocked system or an airlock or even a blocked heater core.

or a blown headgastet .

the top tank has 3 hoses . one goes to the water pump one feeds the water cooling to the turbo and one goes to the raidiator.

[1bngn4]

how do i unblock the system..

[rex-leggy]

you need to get it flushed professionally I would think. Ive never done it but would think they would run more than a hose through it. if its a blocked heater core then best bet imo is replace it.

theres a thread on here that tells you how to bypass the heater core . basically just put 2 t pieces in the hoses before they go through the firewall and put a peice of water hose between them.

I think you wana just spend a little $$ first up and take it somwhere to get tested for a blown headgastet.

ive seen to many people chace down overheating issues and come to the worse conclusion last. imo start at the wore case and work back... get a blue test

[rex-leggy]

and check to see if the thermostat has been removed . that could explain why the gauge dosent rise .

its also what people do to mask the fact a car has a blown headgastet.

[1bngn4]

does any mechanic do it a headgasket test

[rex-leggy]

any good one will just call around

[1bngn4]

well 1problem solved hoses on top of fillr tank was roun the wrong way the one that goes to the overflow going to the rad n vice versa. but will get head checked. now were do i find the sender to the temp gauge as it not going.

[rex-leggy]

its behind the alternator. once removed theres 2 sensors on the pipe that goes between the 2 heads underneath the intake.

its the one with one wire from memory

[1bngn4]

He\'s suggesting you might not have one. A super hori fix for an overheating car is pulling that out.

[1bngn4]

tru na havent pulled off yet. but y do they do that

[boon]

To hide the blown headgasket when they sell it.

[1bngn4]
