1999 Legacy/Outback over heating by bones238

Car has new radiator and antifreese. I can be traveling down the roar and with in one mile the temp will shoot up to "H". Back off gas pedal and the car will cool down.
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks in advance

Was the radiator put in recently? Is the coolant in the radiator ice cold when this happens (more importantly the upper radiator hose)? It could be an air-bubble in the top of the engine/radiator or it could be a water-pump.

Hello, I have a 96 outback automatic. I need to order head gaskets and can't figure out what model engine it has. Any ideas as to where to look?.

Should be the DOHC 2.5L engine.

Thank you Mike. Is it cast on the motor anywhere?

Should have a plate that says EJXXXXXXXXXX on it.

Timing Belt and the Boxer Engine by pilot1226

Hey, Question regarding the timing belt used in the 2008 Legacy.
 
If the timing belt were to fail, is the Boxer Engine in the 2.5i model (170 hp H4 Boxer), is the engine interference, or non-interference?
 
In other words, some engines just fail with no damage to protect the engine when the belt breaks, but if it's like my Civic, a failed timing belt would mean bent pistons and rods. Which would ruin my day.

Interference.
 
The good news, though, is that the interval for timing belt changes is 105,000 miles.
 
So you may not have to change it, unless you keep it longer than that.
