Any automobile that is overheating could be from a few different causes.
o A bad thermostat
o An obstruction in the radiator
o A bad water pump
Does it turn over? Does it have fuel? Does it have spark?
OVER 9000!
Check; coolant, fan, fan clutch and fan clutch solenoid, blocked or partially blocked lines and coolant gallery.
Check for spark Check for fuel

You could be low on coolant, a stuck thermostat, engine fan not coming on for starters. If still overheats, I would recommend taking it to a Subaru dealer.
pretty easy, if the pulley has teeth, it goes over the top of it, if no teeth, then it goes under it.
It is used in the Subaru Legacy commercial in which the guy doesn't seem to notice the fact that he is driving over puddles.
Have you pressure tested to rule out a blown head gasket? Does the cooling system build up full pressure and start dribbling into the overflow long before the engine is hot? If so, it could be exhaust gas leaking into the cooling system.
Steam heating is a legacy system left over from previous generations. It's less efficient thant modern heating systems. However it's often not economical to rip out a steam heating system and then replace it.
my good sir what does v stand for?
There is a Haynes Repair Manual for this car, the book has wiring diagrams and repair and rebuild instructions for Subaru Legacy and Legacy Outback and Brighton from 1990 to 1998. The ISBN for this book is 1563923262 i picked mine up for US$15 several in 2003. The book is still in-print and you can routinely find it on eBay.com\half.com for under US$10 shipped. There are people seeling it for over $25 buck online but the book retails at pepboys an advance auto for about US$17(2007/12). Best Of Luck the 2.2L Subaru Boxer is a solid engine.
