little off topic maybe.
I have done timing belt replacement (along with all pulleys, water pump, tensioners) on my forester 2011 with EJ25 DOHC turbo engine at 107k running.
I did accordingly with manual and Utube guys. And assembled back only to find out that it is now overheating when going for like 5km. When idling, it goes back to normal temp.
(Radiator was replaced a month ago.)
What could be the cause guys?
(I reused the coolant cuz its only a month old. But I spilled some and added 0.5L water instead, would concentrate of coolant degrade and cause this mild overheating?)
or any potential cause i can think off maybe overtightening new water pump? (really cant think of any other reason, help me pls)
Thanks for your reply
