Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My 2006 subaru impreza has been running very hot
(somtimes) and I've noticed that the coolant reservoir if full
and when I manually replenish it back to the engine I'm
good again for a few days. I've spent over 1500 on the

How many miles on the head gaskets? You may be victim of Subaru's bad engine design.

Is it indeed a 2.0t WRX or the 2.5i? If the latter FoR is correct. If the former you'll have to dig deeper as the turbo is more complex. Here's a bizarre one: check the HEATER CORE hoses for blockage. Backflushing them once saved a mysterious non-HG, non-radiator overheating scenario....

I think at least some turbos had closed deck blocks which are less likely to have head gasket problems. Not sure what engines and years though.
