Y'all didn't pay attention to my Kinja'd post on Saturday, so for the sake of attention and acknowledgement I am posting again. Because I must feel validated.

I put this into my wife's Subaru. Took out a gross one with 200k on it that spit coolant out the front all over the place.

Did you make sure to burp the system?

We only care about air cooled, man.

JK, good job. I don't think I've heard of a Rad giving up the ghost in quite awhile. What caused it? cold weather?

No, it's been leaky for a while. Cold weather probably accelerated the growth of the leak, as well as a good hard jostle over some train tracks. I was planning to replace it that day anyway, as I got paid on Friday. So it wasn't the worst timing in the world. I think it's been going for about a month and a half with a leak between the top tank and the aluminum. Next step, all the belts! Not doing that myself.
