Thermostat Spring always goes towards the engine
place the thermostat with the pointed facing out-ward away for the motor.
Subaru 2.5 thermostat's are bass ackwards...follow the lower radiator hose to the block...there ya go...
In a 2004 Subaru Outback, the thermostat is located on the bottom of the engine on the driver's side. Remove the screws holding the fitting that the hose (from the bottom of the radiator leading to the engine block) is attached to, remove the fitting, and the thermostat will be underneath.
Under the engine where the lower radiator hose connects.
inside the thermostat housing where the lower radiator hose connects to the engine block.
I have a 2002 Subaru Impreza Outback and it have the thermostat on the right bellow the engine. You can fallow the hose from the radiator that goes to the bottom of the engine.
You may need to replace the radiator thermostat and gasket.
You need to burp the radiator and cooling system.
If you have a 2.5 liter engine it is located where the lower radiator hose meets the engine.
Subaru Outback was created in 1995.
The Subaru Outback is sold in the US.
Cooling system thermostat is at the bottom of the engine. Look for the lower radiator hose and trace it back to where it attaches to the engine block. Bingo!
