monkeyposeur Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 You might have air bubbles trapped in the coolant system. Purge the system a few times and see if that helps. Do you have and aftermarket thermostat? OEM subaru tstats are the only thermostat you should be using. Did you do any recent work on the car, drain the radiator, something along those lines?

monkeyposeur Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Take out the thermostat and your heat should come back. You can run it for a while like that. Did you replace the thermostat when you replaced the engine? Only use a Subaru thermostat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
