I just wanted to say thank you. After taking the time to go through all the old posts I got my overheating problem fixed. So thanks to everyone who posted something about overheating and thermostats. It turned out that my thermostat would not open and my car was getting hot. New thermostat and a new radiator cap just for good meausure. Just in time for the cold. The high for Tues they say will be -7degrees.

 

Thanks, Joe

Woohoo... i love it when its the small things.

 

Grats.

yeah I was hoping it wasn't a waterpump because, I've not chagend one on that car yet and with it getting cold I don't know how long it would take.

Its a PITA on our subaru's. The easiest way to replace a pump would be to remove the radiator to give you more access. Sucks when its -7 outside.

we are talkin about EA-82s right? I take it you guys must have power steering then. My 86GL its easy to change the water pump.. Now that I know what I have to take off, I can do it in less then an hour..
