gratefuldude Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 So, my 97 impreza is playing the over heating game with me Anyways: new radiator/cap coolant is mean and green etc....not showing signs of bad HG. both the main hoses are hot, and i get hot air. anyways: i squeeze the bottom radiator hose, where it connects to thermostat housing, and i hear "click, click, click" coming out of the housing. what the hell is that? bad t-stat or what?

coolskaterkid Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Most of the time thats just the little pin in the air hole on the thermostat housing. I know pins not the word for the little thing but i cant think of the name of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gratefuldude Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 hmmm.....so would that indicate a bad t stat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyeights Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I would suspect a bad stat, air pocket trapped in the cooling system, or both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gratefuldude Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 I would suspect a bad stat, air pocket trapped in the cooling system, or both. i shall order one then, and burp the system.... 2.2 with 127k miles on it. meticulously maintained....two owners(dad and me) no way is it the HGs....if it were a 2.5 that would be a possibility.
