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.
If you have a 2.5 liter engine it is located where the lower radiator hose meets the engine.
You need to burp the radiator and cooling system.
Subaru Outback was created in 1995.
In a 2005 Subaru Outback, the thermostat is located in the engine compartment, specifically at the engine's water pump housing. To access it, you'll typically need to remove the upper radiator hose, as the thermostat is situated at the end of that hose. It's recommended to consult the vehicle's service manual for detailed instructions if you're planning to replace it.
The Subaru Outback is sold in the US.
