dragonman586 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Hey there folks I come to you with an issue on a friends car. He as an 02 Legacy (L) and its has like 208k miles on it. It has this issue where if he is going uphill with his ac on his car overheats and shuts down. Anyone know about this? He recently flushed his coolant to try and fix this but it was no good.

SBT Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Auto or Manual transmission? Could be:A blocked radiator, especially if non-Subaru-specific coolant has been used over the lifetime of the car.If auto, transmission cooler in the radiator could be leaking (not good for the radiator, engine or the transmission, and flushing hot fluid into the radiatorAuto Transmission fluid could be bad, causing the transmission to work harder, causing extra heat, causing the transmission to overheat the radiatorCooling fan temperature switch badCooling fan(s) fuse blownCooling fan(s) bad/defectiveAuto transmission slipping and heating up the trans cooler (see 3 above)Most likely - head gaskets blownSBT - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
