Hello Mr Scotty I'm a big fan of yours and I follow your channel a lot for advice but I have a question if you could contact me on here that I really need your help on because I have no clue what is going on with this Subaru outback it's a 2003 model and it's overheats and an unusual way The thermostat has been changed the water pump's been checked The hoses are all right it looks like somebody might have put liquid glass in the radiator and it's causing it to overheat while I drive but when I let off the gas and get below 65 mph the heat starts to drop on the thermostat . And I don't know what is causing that I really need some advice on it and also when I drive down the road and I take a right hand turn it's like the transmission gives out on pushing the car forward until I get straight and then it catches gear and starts to go
Is the radiator clogged? Cooling fan(s) working? Head gaskets OK? If there's crap in the cooling system as you indicate it should be flushed out, but it may have been someone's attempt at using a sealer to "fix" a leaky head gasket or other problem.
I haven't had the heads checked . And does radiator flush will it get out liquid glass cause I thought it bonded to the metal
I've never seen an additive that will actually bond to metal, though some vendors of snake oil might make that claim. It should be possible to flush the stuff out of the cooling system if it hasn't clogged anything up yet.
That what I was hoping that it could flush it out . I hope that fixes it
