  1. yes it was out of warranty, bought it cheap on an auction , was previously in a fender bender accident, replaced right headlight , wing and bumper
  2. thank you guys for the help and information, I have solved the problem , It was the RADIATOR, I just bought a new radiator,and changed now the car runs cooler never exceeding 93 degrees even if I drive at 100mph. I think the radiator was bloked inside maybe. I bought new radiator (DENSO) on AMAZON for about $80 and now the car behaves like it should. Surprised how a radiator would fail at less than 50k miles
  3. I replaced with a new cap car still runs hot I think the radiator is somehow blocked or not working efficiently so will buy a new radiator and see. I doubt its a head gasket because the car only runs hot when you drive fast
  4. can a water pump work only on low rpms and slip at higher rpms since I dont have overheating at low speeds
  5. Would a water pump fail below 40k miles. How do you test correct function of a water pump
  6. so in this case how will you be able to verify if it has a blown head gasket?
  7. the HC test was done with the blue liquid and it didnt even change colour, thus negative. Im now suspecting the radiator cap?
  8. Guys need help my subbie outback 2016 2.5 is overheating when I drive above 90mph. The temp guage is normally on the middle but when I drive fast it starts to creep to the right side at the 3/4 close to the red zone. I have checked the radiator and have noticed that coolant is moving from the radiator to the reservoir tank after a drive. The car is not losing coolant, if I remove the reservoir tank and pour the coolant back into the radiator it fills the radiator and the reservoir tank remains with the quantity between the min and max. Is it a head gasket issue? Or thermostat or the radiator cap. The car is still new less than 40k miles. If i hook up an obd the coolant temp is around 109 degrees celcius when driving around 80mph. If I push it to 90 or 95mpg it goes to 110 degrees celcius. Thats when the temp gauge starts to move to the redline although i have not allowed it to reach the redline .Have removed the thermostat and drove it without but it still does the same.
