If a Subaru Forester lacks coolant flow, first check for any visible leaks in the cooling system, including hoses and the radiator. Ensure the coolant level is adequate and that the thermostat is functioning properly, as a stuck thermostat can impede flow. If these components are in good condition, consider inspecting the water pump for proper operation, as a failure here can also disrupt coolant circulation. If necessary, consult a mechanic for a thorough diagnosis and repair.
Coolant always goes in the top of the radiator.
In Subarus the temp control for the heater does not control the coolant flow, just airflow past the heater core. If you get no heat, there is no coolant in the heater core -- either there is no coolant or it is not circulating.
The engine temp sensor on a Subaru 2.5 liter is located on top of the engine near the radiator output. It constantly monitors the coolant temperature and helps to vehicle adjust flow as needed.
put coolant into my over flow car was running hot and the coolant erupted like a volcano on the side of the over flow
The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor on a 2003 Subaru Forester is typically located in the air intake system, between the air filter and the throttle body. It measures the amount of air entering the engine to help the engine control unit (ECU) optimize fuel delivery for efficient combustion. If the MAF sensor fails or becomes dirty, it can lead to poor engine performance, reduced fuel efficiency, and increased emissions. Regular maintenance and cleaning can help ensure its proper functioning.
True.
The presence of the valves usually restrict the coolant flow into the heater core.
Heat will flow from the coolant to the air The coolant will absorb the heat from the building.
It might be clogged, thus not allowing enough flow It means that the excess coolant is going where it is supposed to. The coolant expands when hot and goes to the over flow reservoir.
No. The water pump is the only coolant circulation device.
Heat will flow from the coolant to the air The coolant will absorb the heat from the building.
