Re: Engine Cool, Radiator overheating?!
To bleed the air out:
1. Remove the rad cap
2. Fill with water/antifreeze mix
3. Start car
4. If/when coolant level drops, add more.
5. Squeeze upper rad hose often to get air pockets out
6. Keep an eye on the temp gauge every minute or two
7. Let car idle up to full temp (until rad fans come on). This may take a while, mine took about 20 minutes today.
8. Add more coolant, squeeze upper hose
9. Grad throttle and rev engine a bit to purge any more air
10. Put climate control on max heat to get any air out of the heater core.
11. Recheck level, add as needed.
Subaru's, and flat engines in general, are usually a pain to get all the air locks out of.
