Hello everyone, i am a virgin at this so here goes. I accuired a suburu legacy W reg with overheating problems, so much that the top radiator hose exploded. I have done a lot of reading on the internet and am thinking that its going to be an engine out job and new headgaskets. is there an easier way out of this problem apart from burning it

 

thermostat out

if it's an old 2.5 then it was a very common problem but you can do them incitu but it's a pain in the rear!

 

would be easier to remove it to do the headgaskets i would of thought.

 

it is definatly! i tried it once as an experiment and wished i hadn''t lol

 

Thanks for the replys eveyone, its a lovely car fully loaded, cruise control, pneumatic suspension, electric everything. I want to have a go at fixing it but with money being an issue i want to make sure i get it right, one thing though, why dont it sound like a WRX ha ha ha (2.5 auto)
