Temperature on gauge stabilized, and at least 10 minutes with no bubbling/geysers. Then I stick the cap on and watch the gauge for a little longer, then go for a drive.
You might need to rev the engine while bleeding the air.Thank you for your reply.
with funnel full with excess coolant/water, i tried burping the system with engine on till reaching normal temp for about 10minutes.
Should I try burping even longer period of time?
no geysers when revving high. roger that.Temperature on gauge stabilized, and at least 10 minutes with no bubbling/geysers. Then I stick the cap on and watch the gauge for a little longer, then go for a drive.
If your temperature doesn’t stabilize (fans should be kicking on as well), there’s likely an issue with your thermostat. I forgot- what brand did you use? Does it have the little purge valve in it? Did the little bb in it jiggle before you installed it?no geysers when revving high. roger that.
will try tonight and report back sir.
Thanks.
during bleeding procedure, temperature is always stable for my case. fans kicking in. brand is GMB and NTS, I am japan and bought from store as a set made in japan. they made sure parts were OEM equivalent or from OEM makers.If your temperature doesn’t stabilize (fans should be kicking on as well), there’s likely an issue with your thermostat.

I’m definitely on the anal side when it comes to Subaru engine parts, but I’m a firm believer in buying only the “improved” OEM parts when it’s been a problem that Subaru made a running change to fix something. “Six Star” brand is also the OEM equivalent- “Barn Find Bernie” on eBay carries a multitude of OEM/Six Star parts at reasonable prices.

Hi, It happens that Funnel is out of stock so i decided to go to nearest pit shop to do air bleeding by them. They did for an hour with their funnel kit. But still warming up.If your temperature doesn’t stabilize (fans should be kicking on as well), there’s likely an issue with your thermostat. I forgot- what brand did you use?

Fan kicks in only after engine reaches midway.Is the temp gauge hot or is the fan running at all engine temps?
I don't think the coolant concentration is the problem. Pure water transfers heat better than glycol (antifreeze). Too high a ratio of antifreeze can cause overheating. Your mixtures of 50:50 and 60:40 should both be fine.Heater is working well, AC as well.
other thing is I reused the coolant and since i spilled some, i added water so its not 50/50, i think now its water 60/40 coolant. Would concentration cause overheating?
when going 50km/h heater turned on, it doesnt overheat, when i turn off heater it tends to heat up.
Hi all,Is the temp gauge hot or is the fan running at all engine temps?
For all radiator work I use this funnel it makes bleeding less messy with no wasted coolant. The $26 was money wisely spenthow do you know when u completed the work?
when revving to 2500rpm, does the coolant geyser up ?
should i keep repeating until there is no geyser when revving up and idling.
yesterday there was no bubble in idling anymore, but after revving high it tend to geyser up and spill everywhere (i was using small funnel, gonna buy the lisle funnel kit tomorrow )
Dalai, a video would be helpful of your trans issue.
