Last summer I noticed the ac would quit working and when I turned it off and waited a bit it the ac would work again. Then a few months back the engine light came on and never went off, not blinking, so my brother just reset it. Now the engine light is NOT on and after the ac started not working I noticed the engine gage was going into the H and red zone. I have over 26 miles to get back home, is this safe to drive? Should I add water to the radiator?

i have a 2004 outback 3.0 that started overheating 3 days after i purchased it. I had the obveous replaced; heat sensor. radiater cap. When I went to rewplace the thermostate I found that it had been removed. Put in an after market therm and it didn;t change situation. I replaced water pump. That didn't work. Situation now is that the two upper hoses get hot quickly and are under pressure; lower hose is much cooler and not pressureized.Logic dictates either a bad therm (but it overheated even when the therm was removed) or a bad radiator (but the radiator seemed to pass water freely when I had it out. I understand there is a chemical that detects carbon in cooling system. Seems that should be my next step to rule out hg. I also understand that heater plays a roll in cooling system but not sure how much it would effect water temp and pressure. Any suggestions would be appreciated 2 Answers

I am trying to find somewhere close to sg11 Ware, Herts, that can repair my Subaru and get it through its MOT for a reasonable price.

Hello - I have a question for all the Subaru experts if you could please. I was planning to buy a 2011 Outback tonight, 95K miles. What I found out today is making me question the investment. After reading about the CVT issues, I started digging and confirmed that this Outback did have an issue just a few months ago and SOA confirmed the CVT in this vehicle has a 24K or 24 month warranty since it was replaced with a remanufactered (NOT REBUILD) CVT under warranty. So, should I buy it and have peace of mind that the CVT issues have been addressed and maybe I'll get 100k miles out of it or walk away? Can't afford a new one, so was looking for exactly this price range - I think I should happy at this news since the known CVT problems have been addressed but could I be getting into a money pit. Thanks for any helpful feedback! 1 Answer
