Hi All, I'm looking for advice on how to handle my dad's low mileage (~3000 miles) 2020 Impreza 2.0 engine that overheated and now barely cranks. I know this is an Outback focused forum, but I can't really find anything for Imprezas that has any activity and isn't mostly concerned with...

Hello, I tried to take a road trip yesterday and after about an hour and a half of driving I noticed my temp gauge was at the top of the red, so I pulled over, poped the hood, turned on the fans & let it cool down. I tried driving back home & the temp gauge was hanging out right before the red...

Hey guys, I'm new here, but not new to subarus. Haven't found my particular recipe of symptoms, so I figured I'd ask smarter people than me. I have a 2014 Outback, 2.5, CVT, 215k miles. I've had some issues with coolant lately. I use a bluetooth OBD sensor, to keep track of the temp, as the...

My OBXT would never "fully overheat," go past 230 F or get into the red on the stock gauge but it would heat up enough to almost make me pull over. Now that its colder outside ive never even see my guage move, it runs very cool and I have put it to the test. I did fix a boost leak on the By pass...

Hello all. I have been battling a strange overheat condition in my 2010 2.5i (CVT) for a couple weeks now. It started when I first noticed the blinking red temp gauge light on the left side of the gauge cluster when driving, which started out of nowhere and caught me by surprise. Pulled over and...

Hi all! I bought an '01 H6 Outback three months ago with 146K on it, rebuilt by the shop selling it. Right after I got it, I left it idling for 10-20 minutes and it started to overheat. It was weird, but since it was low on water I figured they didn't put enough water in it when I got it. Fast...

I fear that I may have blown the head gaskets on my 2002 LL Bean H6 with 160K miles. I committed the cardinal sin of any Subaru owner by not checking the temperature gauge after I started the engine, and I was about 4 Interstate miles from home when I glanced at the temperature gauge and saw it...

Ok I got a 2003 outback 2.5 300,000kms. Car is overheating now before everyone tells me it’s head gaskets which it may be hear me out. This is my first Subaru. The Car up until this incident never leaked coolant. Car has been running fine no overheating no milky oil no smoke but it leaks oil. So...

My 06 outback has been overheating and stalling out while in idle/at red lights. it will shake/vibrate and then just crap out. plz help (I recently had head gasket repaired 7 months ago.)

Warning: this is a novel. Over the last four months I've been experiencing major cooling issues with my 2012 outback 2.5i limited. Back in June the timing belt went, took the cooling pump and head gaskets with it. I spent over $2k replacing the belt, heads, pump and thermostat. I had a family...

So there is no check engine light but after driving for 30 minutes at freeway speed (70mph in D), at idle the car will begin to overheat. But once the car starts moving again, even at city speeds, it will start to cool down to normal operating temperature. Both fans still kick on so I knows...

I have a 2011 Outback 2.5L with 240,000 miles, original owner, and no real problems to date other than a replacement of the CVT transmission 3 years ago (dealer covered it at 100%). About a month ago, I started occasionally hearing a little gurgling behind the dash board, which I have read is...

2008 Subaru outback 3.0r HI, I was driving my car and i noticed the flashing cruise control CEL and (traction control?) light on so i stopped and tightened my gas cap and continued my drive up north on my way I had noticed my car lacking acceleration and the temperature was fluctuating from...

My car has been overheating and losing coolant through the overflow bottle for a little over a month now. Two weeks ago my car blew a crack at the top of the radiator. I replaced the radiator and noticed that the engine was running a little rough. I drove my 45-mile commute and on the way...

I have a 2011 subaru outback with 170k miles I have replaced the radiator, water pump, timing belt, upper and lower hoses, thermostat, coolant temp sensor, and overfill reservoir There is no head gasket problems because there is no coolant going to the oil, no oil in the coolant, or coolant...

Greetings all, 2012 OB 2.5 non turbo 141.000 miles. On my cluster, I have the Check Engine Light solid, Brake Light blinking, Cruise Control blinking, and the snti slip/traction control light, along with my temp gauge flashing blue to red, red to blue non stop. After driving for quite some...

I have a 02 Outback w/2.5L. I bought this car from a friend who brought it to Colorado from Arizona. He said he did the heads and afterwards the temp gauge kept reading in the red so he took out the thermostat and it stopped. Well, I bought it thinking a thermostat and new coolant temp sensor...

Hello friends. Bear with me on this if you have a minute. I need some advice. I wanted to pick some brains regarding a strange string of events going on with my 07. I bought it used a few months ago, one owner with a decent service history and 106k miles. It has been a gem so far, and I had...
