BSOTBone Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Hi, This is my first post. I have a 94 Legacy wagon automatic and front wheel drive only. Yesterday I noticed what I came to know as vaporized water and anti'freez spewing out from under the hood. I looked at the temp gauge and it was pegged above H. I pulled over and got under the hood. the passanger side of the radiator was still spewing as the drivers side was still cool. Cool enought to just take the radiator cap off. Any diagnoses or reccommendations? Thanks, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setright Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Drain all the coolant replace it with new stuff. Make sure you get the air out the cooling system - do a search for "Coolant Replacement". After the drain, check all the hoses before refilling. Two big ones to and from the radiator, and two small ones that run to the cabin heater, mounted on the middle of the firewall. Drive and keep a watchful eye on the temp gauge. Maybe you have a had leak? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jclay Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Also, its very common for the upper coolant tank on the passenger side to crack, this can be ahard to see due to the position. if you loosen the bolts on the metal pieces that connect to the frame, you can push the radiator back an inch of so to inspect that tank, my 94 legacy exhibited similar problems due to this tank being cracked.
