My SVX doesnt even come 1/4 way to the middle way to heating up! When I put a synthetic oil in it now it hardly comes off the C ! But I still get awesome heat. I dont have a clue about the clunking, I got a noise myself thats driving me nuts! But its car when I hit a bump! GOOD LUCK!

I felt it was T-Stat, so I went to go buy one (A Prestone one). But looking at previous threads, this one wont fit? ? ?  Which AUTO STORE ones do fit? I only have 2 days to work on my car, so I can't wait for the OEM from subaru.
My second conundrum: the svx idles with a thump thump thump, consistent when im at a stoplight. BUT when I put the car in neutral, it goes away completely and it idles quietly. Obviously tranny related, but what can solve this problem?
THANKS IN ADVANCE for helping this N00B!!!! |
