I believe I have just what you are looking for. Please PM and I'll look in garage when I get home. It's brand new.

I've never had a car that was that hard to burp. I'll buy the $40 funnel. Those funnels aren't an easy find either. If I ever have to flush, fill, change thermostat, rebuild, I'll have one. These cars or at least mine was bugger to burp. I've split enough anti-freeze burping and re-burping this car....

Run hot wire to starter from battery with push button momentary switch.

Turn key on all the way. Push starter button. That how I start both of mine.

I swapped a 5mt into my 1993 turbo Legacy sedan this summer. Your going to like it. Funny thing was that you were watching Tombstone the movie on your computer, while making some of your posts. (Can see it on computer screen. in photos.) While I was looking at your posts Tombstone on my TV screen. E...

It is possible that I might still have an air bubble after daily and nightly burping for over a week.

If so, where would it be hiding? How to relive it?

In all driving conditions except long downhill car is fine.

I'm good with spending $32.00 bucks, as it is a drop in the bucket on rebuild,/swap, to get good info. If I was cheap I'd reuse the one out of the 1991. Going to buy OEM Subie I even if it costs $64.00 just to make sure. Winter/screen with 1/4 plywood with 1" holes helps but doesn't fix problem...

I second the electrical. Put a push button/ momentary switch hot to battery on starter. Bypass computer and electrical BS on pedals and beyond. If car starts when forced. Car started. Problem fixed?

Well today's drive to work yielded some improvement on cold condition on decent of 6 mile long hill. What a fickle little bugger. No surprise engine warmed up quicker, but, didn't overheat 30 degrees outside. Held temp almost to bottom of grade. Left in fourth gear with slight touch of foot on gas p...

Thank you. For your input and reply. So the hour I spent in garage drilling 1" holes in 1/4 plywood, creating a winter grill insert, was good time spent. I'll know Thursday am, just in time for cold snap. Over cool, oversize radiator, will be tricked to be underutilized, as it will be blocked b...

Engine temp is exactly where have seen last 800,00 miles in N/A 5 speed Subaru when warmed up. Ever so slightly above half being a tick. Just noticeably barely above half. Doesn't move unless descending hill. Only time I've seen a gauge move before, on that hill is "UP" at 100- 105 degrees...

Have 8-10 minute drive at 65 MPH before descending hill. Engine temp just a tick above half on gauge at top of hill. Slow loss of temperature, at bottom of hill temp gauge less than 1/4 up. Hand testing "heat" coming out of vent cold to touch. In the past I've found the heaters in the Gen ...

In last 25 years: 425,000 in 1992 Legacy Wagon-RIP 100,000 in 1992 Wagon - lifted 341,000 in 1997 Outback Wagon All five speeds. Drive to top of same hill leave in 5th gear "coast" or be on compression till bottom of 6 mile hill at 3,000 rpm or so at 60 mph. No problem or drop off in temp ...

Thanks for your reply's. Driven down 6 mile long hill in same fashion for 25 years of commuting in NA 2.2 Legacy. No issues. Leave in 5th don't have to ride brakes for next 6 minutes to keep speed in check for the Idaho State Police running radar each day on their favorite speed trap. New 1993 turbo...

I believe the gauge to be accurate.

I don't have any heat at bottom of hill either.

Thought I was out of the woods. Searched archive haven't seen this one. Just got done with swap/rebuild. Problem: When I drive DOWN 6 mile long hill engine temp and heater temp drop off to COLD condition, like half of operating temp. Before descending hill engine at operating temp. Car is turning 3,...

New member and owner of a 1993 turbo SS. Most expensive $300 car I've ever owned. Came with cracked or blown head gaskets. One owner car with straight body, very clean interior. Got lucky and found 1991 with 115,000 on it with bad body and good motor for $750 within a weeks time. Yeah sure I'll fix ...
