I was running my AP to show coolant temps this morning. All is good, running around 199/198 on the highway and it starts to creep up to 208, this isn't normal, it typically wont move up past 203.
I drop Averie off, come back and crank it up, it shoots up to 219. But once I start moving it starts to cool off, and gets back down to its normal 203 range.
On the highway again, OTW to work it bounces around from 199-208. I pull into my parking deck and It creeps up to 213 and I suddenly hear the sound of running water through my dash, and the temp almost instantly starts to drop down to 199.
I have noticed this running water sound more so lately in the mornings on cold starts and I remember it starting to do it over the past few months at start up, never though it was a big deal, and when running the water temp gauge on my AP this never happened.
So fellow Subaru owners, what say ye? Leak somewhere (havent noticed anything). Low on coolant, so airbubble? (where did the coolant go?) I know I left the cap off the overflow for like a day, but I never smelled any coolant, and I still don't smell coolant. Checked the coolant after the last autox and levels looked fine? Most of the posts on the subaru forums say to check my coolant levels, thinking an airpocket in the heater core.
FYI, WP and Tstat were listed as replaced during the Tbelt install by the PO.
