teh luckinator Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I'd say check coolant level first, and then check if your fans are functioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rSTimpreza Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 Fixed the problem it was the thermostat found out the old wasn't oem part. Replaced it with a new oem part so far been driving the car and no more temp spiking up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
