Default Is there any special procedure to refil the coolent system??

Just a general question as i am refilling it tomoz - i presume its just the same way as any other car.

1.Refil the main coolent tank till it reaches max on the expansion bottle behind the passenger side headlamp
2.Run the engine
3.Then top up if needed

If this is wrong or there is anything else i need to do please let me know.

Cheers.

I always fill both the header and the expansion bottle to the brim. The system will throw out what it doesn't want
Run the engine with the heater in the car set to HOT (so that you don't get any airlocks)
Leave it running until the fans have been on 2-3 times.
Turn it off.
Let it cool, then check/top up .

Regards

I have a Subaru tech manual I can mail to you if you want. Tells you how to do the simple service stuff.
