What area of the engine, is the thermostat located at on a Subaru, 2004 WRX, 2.0?
And any pictures? The reservoir on top of the engine when warming up is spilling fluid into the plastic overflow tank till it overflows. I'm wondering if the thermostat is sticking, as I have been told it could be the problem as to why it is backing up?? |

That's always my problem. |

im assuming this motor is in a 914. make sure you have a bleed line from the radiator turbo tank so trapped air in the radiator can be purged.

I got the problem resolved. I just had a radiator guy solder in a petcock to help let some of the air out. Working good now!!
