ejoy1220 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Hey guys, dealer told me my I have a slight leak around my thermostat, and recommended changing it and the lower radiator hose and changing coolant....for $260 !!!! Thermostat is like $25, gasket is like $3, rad hose should be $10-20....$210+ for an hour labor and coolant? Looks like I'll do this myself. I have PNs, but unsure which lower rad hose I need, can anyone tell me the PN of the lower rad hose coming off the thermostat/WP? Fairly certain it's correct but want to be sure so I'm not sitting there holding my you know what with the wrong part after draining the coolant. It's a 2010 2.5i Legacy CVT Thermostat - 2010 Subaru Legacy - 21210AA120 - $23.26 Gasket - 2010 Subaru Legacy - 21236AA010 - $2.68 Lower Hose - 2010 Subaru Legacy - 45520AJ070 - $28.58 w/out CVT Is this the same hose that comes off of the WP/thermostat housing? Thanks everyone Edit: are OEM Subaru thermostats still the best ones, or has that changed? Remember everyone hating on aftermarket thermosats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double check to see if any of the thermostat housing bolts are covered by anything before you start working if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see many 5th gen LGTs around, but I remember seeing a black one a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow_419 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Yup that's me, NB. My car has been down due to a burned exhaust valve, but I'll be out and about soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
