MY 93MY WRX STARTED OVERHEATING LAST NIGHT AND IT BOILED I FILLED IT UP WITH COOLANT BUT NOW IT KEEPS OVERHEATING AND BOILING AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES RUNNING ,I HAVE CHECKED THE THERMOSTAT SEEMS TO BE FINE .

 

need more info but its common for these symptoms to be a blown head gasket.

 

ALSO WHEN THE ENGINE IS HOT THE HEATER IS COLD BUT THE TOP HEATER HOSE IS SOLID THEN IT BLOWS ALL THE COOLANT OUT.

PLEASE HELP

Sounds like your head gasket to me mate. Combustion gases escaping from the cylinder, pressurising the cooling system. Mine failed a while ago, it cost roughly £1.5k to sort!
Get it to a garage ASAP to check.
If it is your head gaskets, make sure you get someone who knows scooby engines to fix it. If it isn't done properly, chances are it will fail again. Not nice!

Get it checked by a competent garage, head gasket is favourite.
