1990 Subaru legacy as awd wagon it is overheating
I have a good one for you. I bought a Subaru legacy wagon for $380.00 he told us it had an over heating problem. That 2 years ago he had everything replace on it. Come to find out the water pump had been replaced 4 years ago. So we replaced that. Tested it. Still over heating while driving. Then we replaced the radiator thermostat, hoses, timing chain belt, (it needed it anyway) radiator cap, put blue devil head gasket stuff in it. Also did the pcv and spark plugs and wires... My husband is a mechanic.... Flushed it. Oil change. Found out it doesn't like antifreeze on really hot days and runs on water like no tomorrow. But if we don't keep an eye on it it has no water in it and when it did over heat with radiator fluid in it it would spray out where the hose goes in on the over flow. We replaced the radiator there was a small hole in it , I found that. We haven't changed the blower yet. It only works when it wants to. Driving down the road and it turns on by it's self. And the fans work great to. Any ideas?
