I am fresh to owning my first scoob....so need help!! Does anyone have a cooling diagram for a wrx 95 import? I got a random hose loose thats not connected to anything @ the bottom of the coolant bottle.... maybe you know where it goes??

When you say coolant bottle do you meen the one on the right hand side of the engine bay behind the headlight as you look at the front of the car?

My mrs Ra has a hose leading to nowhere on her bottle too, i think this is for over flow etc

thats what im thinking.... someone else has said its deffo an overflow on the expansion...ta!!

RSLEG1

My expansion bottle has a hole in the top which the overflow pipe runs into. It feeds right through the bottle to about half way down.

RSLEG.... where does the overflow come from? does it feed from the bottom & circulate?

RSLEG1

IIRC it comes from the header tank to the left side of intake manifold.(where the metal cap marked HOT is)
It runs along the top of rad and into the cap on plastic bottle.
It's a thin pipe about 1/4" thick. As far as i can see it recirculates when the header tank overflows.

I hope this is relevant to you as i own a legacy!!
