Car Forum / Subaru Cars / July 2008location location location
just a thought here, i think i may have the remedy for my 96 250T overheating, where oh where is the thermistat located on a 250T???????..........i think maybe it has jambed shut during its full week and a half of being empty of water, i suspect some sort of corrosion. But never the less, i have no idea as to its location, so again, where oh where is the thermistat located on a 250T??????????? Any help please, andy Should be in the housing were the bottom hose connects to the engine. Looking at your other posts, you still have an air pocket causing th overheating condition. No heat from the heater is the classic symptom o this. No heat because no circulation. No circulation because the pum can only move water.

Slowly fill with coolant, start engine with heat on high and as the level of coolant drops in the rad tank continue to fill with coolant. After a minute or so the coolant will level off. Cap and drive around to see what happens. Let cool and serve, er, I mean check the level again and top off if needed.

If the OP changes the t'stat - I'd suggest purchasing a new rad cap as well.
