2001 subaru overheating at rest
Hey all I was wondering if anyone would be able to
help me figure out what is wrong with my wife's
car. It is a 2001 subaru legacy outback 2.5 4
cylinder. I replaced the head gaskets a couple
years back, after having 2 different mechanics
failed to replace them properly. About 5 weeks ago
the radiator went whill driving down the road. I was
able to pull over quickly and had the car towed
home. The next weekend I took a 1 hour drive after
checking the fluids and one of the hoses was not
tight and lost most of the coolent. The car did get
to the red zone as I reached my destination. I was
able to fix the hose and refill the coolent system.
Now I am having overheating problems. While the
car is moving the temp stays in the ok range but
once I stop the temp slowly rises. I have an idea
what the problem is but was hoping I was wrong. I
think I burped the system right but my not have.
The thirmistat was replaced with the first set of
heads. Water pump and timing with the last set at
about 140000 the car is at 177000 now. Any
thoughts would be great.
