1999 SUBARU LEGACY radiator

B: INSPECTION
Replace the thermostat if the valve does not close
completely at an ambient temperature or if the fol-
lowing test shows unsatisfactory results.
Immerse the thermostat and a thermometer in
water. Raise water temperature gradually, and
measure the temperature and valve lift when the
valve begins to open and when the valve is fully
opened. During the test, agitate the water for even
temperature distribution. The measurement should
be to the specification.
Starts to open:
76.0 Ð 80.0ÉC (169 Ð 176ÉF)
Fully opens:
91ÉC (196ÉF)
