How to Properly Bleed a Subaru Cooling System!! 

I guess theres more than one way to skin a cat huh. The subaru fsm on the liberty with the ej255 turbo motor says the fill the coolant system from the expansion tank, then place both radiator caps back on and start the car. You then rev the car to 2000 rpm 6 times then turn it off and wait a little before taking off the radiator cap and then filling it back to the top. You do that a few times till the level stops dropping and then with both radiator caps on you start the car with the heater on as high as it will go with the fan set on one and then rev it between 2 and 3000 rpm until the radiator fan spins and then stops. Apparently it helps to have the front of the car elevated as it allow the air out of the heater core better (heard this on the australian liberty forums). I did this today switching from penrite purple back to OEM green as the purple had started to become discoloured with age. Ive seen some people use a funnel but (atleast according to the FSM) this is not necessary.

Great video love your car

thanks, great video, easy to follow, subscribed

When should the ac condenser or passenger side fan come on?

I just did head gaskets with the Athena firelock gaskets. I'm having intermittent heatercore issues with not blowing hot. It also will start to overheat after a while

I need to make a video on how to burp it but with the coolant expansion delete. I removed mine because I don’t need it.

Im trying to do it like you, but my coolant keeps running down and dont stop, and the white tank gets overfilled and it goes out of the tank…..what do I do wrong?(sorry for bad English)

Awesome video brother… I subscribed. Just a quick question do you have a video on how to flush out the system? I want to go from green to super blue with conditioner I know 09 Legacy.

After a week or so my subura will throw coolent out of the top of the overflow. It's not sucking the coolent back into the system. I've had both the engine and coolant pressure tested both checked fine. Can you help me with this I've been fighting this for 2 months. Thanks

⁠ ​​⁠ @SWSpeedCo great video bro. I did this bleed about 1 year ago after putting in a metal head gasket and ARP studs. After extensive bleeding and back flushing I still get overheating on hot summer days. I used super blue coolant and conditioner from Subaru. Any ideas what I can do to stop the overheating?? Koyo radiator?? AnotherSubaru thermostat?? Another bleed?? Thanks for the great videos.

Great video man! And beautiful car keep up the videography.

Why should the reservoir be empty when bleeding? And do you fill that up after it’s done ? I’ve got a 2.0 Impreza so filling from the top of the radiator

Thanks g.

Thank you 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Was the existing coolant drained? or did you pour fresh over existing in this tutorial? Cheers!

I recently replaced my radiator on my 2005 Subaru outback wagon. I am having to add water often. Did my mechanic NOT burp it? Could that be the issue? PLEASE HELP.

Yo what intercooler is that? I struggle every single time to get my top mount back in place bc of the damn turbo outlet pipe being such a pain to get around the backside of the turbo. This one seems to have fixed that with the wrap around piping, no?

Is it ok to mix blue coolant and green coolant? What might happen if all the air is not burped?

How long did the bleed process take?

Where did you get the intercooler?

Who makes the funnel,gotta get one!

I keep loosing coolent in my lib. And most of it ends up in the Reservoir or disappeared. And my brother lost the funnal any other way I could do it? A new funnal like 120 in Australia

Did you use Subaru super coolant?

Where did you get your guage pod on the dash?

What oil do you put in your car?
