Tashi Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Hey guys...So, just did the waterpump, timing belt, thermo, and exhaust on my car, not even 500km ago...and for the first time ever, I over heated. The old thermo was leaking, thus why it was replaced. And the pump/belt were replaced because of K. The car is an 03 Legacy L. 101000KM on the OD, original motor. Now, the over heat was the gauge reading 3/4, so not a massive episode. However...it was -2 celcius when it happened. I looked into the overflow bottle, and it was near empty, and I have no steam/smoke from the exhaust. Please, someone give me an out that isn't a $&%!ng head gasket...

Tashi Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 After I pulled in, and noticed the overheat, it quickly went back to regular operating temp btw. I am thinking it may be an air bubble from doing the flush improperly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBisson Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Sounds like air or a faulty t-stat to me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumbleRumble Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 OEM thermostat only, try a new rad cap too from the dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
