I have a 99 forester that has 134k. Headgasket has been replaced at 100k.
I have recently replaced radiator , tstat, rad cap, and coolant (subaru green coolant with conditioner). Anyways
there I am driving on the freeway afer thinking replacing the radiator fixed the problem and it started to overheat again. For the last two weeks, every 10 miles or so, I have to fill the radiator wih distilled water because it will puke coolant out of the overflow tank.
If I baby it and accelerate as slow as mechanically possible, it won't overheAt on my four mile journey to work. If I push it a little bit, after a few minutes it will make the temp gauge spike up. So I have to shut it off. It is overheating while driving but way faster if I'm pushing it. Babying it will buy me 10-13 minutes until it gets too hot and I have to wait and put more water in it.
Fans do kick on and turning the heater on full blast only helps a tiny bit. I have properly burped the system after adding coolant.
Anyone have any ideas?
