You shouldn't need to "bleed" the radiator in your Forester. If you top off the coolant in the radiator the next time you check the top of your radiator is empty again? You have a blown head gasket. Voice of experience here. --Ken
Radiator removal for a Subaru is no different from any other car.
One reasons a Subaru Forester may overheat is because the radiator may need replaced. Another reason could be the thermostat.
Top of the radiator just like every other car.
The thermostat of a 2001 Subaru Forester can be found under the hood of the vehicle. The radiator valve cap must be opened to reveal the thermostat.
It resides at the engine side of the lower radiator hose.
Subaru Forester was created in 1997.
Well, the answer is, pretty much like replacing the radiator on any other vehicle. Forester has nothing special about the radiator. --Ken
You should not need to bleed coolant. Ever. If the coolant is filling up on its own the stuff in there is not coolant and you have a big problem.
no air bleed valve. all you need to do is to remove the radiator cap and let the car idle for a few minutes.
