Subie WRX cooling
Have been out playing with teh WRX Type 3 all afternoon. It is overheating. Very frustrating... we have a Hyundai rad up front with the usual pipes
under the car and have now removed the thermostat (I thought it might have been jammed). Both pipes get hot, proving the coolant is moving through
them, but the engine blows its cool from the high-mount rad reservoir/cap in the engine bay after idling for some time or short runs around the
block.
Should I have an assist pump to help the stock water pump with 20 foot lenghths of coolant pipes? Is there soem secret way of 'bleeding' a Sube
engine;'s cooling system that I don't know about that is allowing air pockets? etc? Hints appreciated...
Pay your debts, CxxT

Hi
Is the high-mount rad reservoir/cap in the engine bay higher than the radiator? If not try jacking the the car up to make it higher.

You should have no problems cooling if the system is bled correctly. As Steve suggested, jack the car up to ensure your getting it vented at the
highest point. I wonder if you need a bleed point at high end of the radiator?
They say that the jacket around #4 cylinder does trap air and car be troublsome to relieve at times.nn[ Edited on 16-7-2005 by speedster356 ]

If you water line is steel , just weld a small socket in so you can bleed the air via 1/4 mini ball valve .

Sorted! It seems it was not bled properly. In a last-ditch effort, I parked it on a steeeeep driveway and bled it again. And I noticed we had the rad
pipes on wrong way around, so the thermostat housing/water pump pipe (the low one on teh Subie) was heading to the top of the rad, not the bottom...
Car seems fine now, except on my test drive the Check Engien light came on... now it's running rough when it's coming on boost and won't idle.
Might have to hook up the VSS before I do too much more driving! Poor old Macca the owner (GTMac on here) hasn't even driven it yet! Thanks all for
