Radiator Issue

[Guest]

hey

i've just had all my radiator cleaned etc as when coming back from aucks a few weeks ago radiator drained itself into resevoir to the point of nearly running dry but once kooled it would return to normal level weird i know

anyways the bugger is doing it again only this time res is empty too

What im thinking is the dreded headgasket would you agree???????

Or waterpump leaking...

Or a hose leaking...

Or the heater core leaking....

[Guest]

i do however know my heater core behind dash is screwed would this lead to anything still learning just when i think ive sussed it another unbeknown prob comes up and this is y im sick of subaru's lol

[Guest boostin]

Whats wrong with it?

[Guest itsgotgo]

thermostat at a guess first.

easiest to do first,when they stuff out,no flow equals pressure,water gets pushed out,then when cooling sucks it back

Thats just a guess

[Guest]

just had that replaced when i had radiator cleaned

whats wrong with heater core behind dash is everytime your driving along especially cornering without the sounds cranking you can hear what appears to be trickling water behind dash went into tga subaru and they told me that it appears to be heater core and apparently dash n s*** gotta come out

[Guest boostin]

That can cause overheating issues. And yeah, dash out, not fun.

That trickling sound is common, it's air in the system.

Fix the water loss and get all the air out of the system and the sound will go away.

Get the car looked at to find where the water is going to, get them to check for a leaking head-gasket too because now it's lost the water a couple of times that may have gone whether it was the original problem or not.

[DRFVDR]

you guys really should try older subarus they wwaaayyyyy more reliable but the downside is not as quick(maybe) and not as comfy

[Guest]

used to have older subaru when i was a teen but it hit a bank

[Guest]

[Guest boostin]

Trans oil cooler in the LH or bottom tank.

[Guest]
