Sounds like the thermostat might be missing, as mine was like that when i changed the engine. Where the bottom hose goes on the block there are 2 10mm bolts, undo them, take the pipe off the block and the thermostat should be there. Is like that on my newage, yours should be prob the same.

mine does exactly the same.......can i just confirm all of the models had the same thermostat? [mines a 96 wrx-sti]
and where do we get new stats from? genuine or aftermarket? etc
thanks

Or, if your feeling flush, spend £60 on a Zero Sports one (from Lateral Performance and others). If these fail, they fail in the open position which is better than the other way round (ironically it seems that your OEM one may have failed in the open position anyway!!! lol).
Also the ZS one open 7 degrees earlier (at 71C compared to the OEM's 78), so average running temps will be slightly lower and more within the engine's efficient operating range.
I have one and it works beautifully. Ave temps are 83-86C. Nice.
And yes, AFAIK, all the stats are of the same 2-bolt pattern and fit in any MY's pump housing (certainly up til the pre-MY09 hatch; not sure if it changed for this MY?).
