What kind of head gasket does Subaru have?
Many of their models have been dented with this gasket problem. Their first-generation model was Impreza (1999). This was followed by Forrester (1999), Legacy (2000), Outback (2000) and Baja (2003), respectively. All these cars face the problem of an internal leak in the head which makes the engine overheat.
Why is the head gasket on my Subaru overheating?
The head gasket is a passageway for coolant to flow appropriately. When there is no more coolant in the vehicle, it makes the engine hot thereby causing the temperature gauge on the dashboard to go up. It can make the engine overheat which will cause a problem for the Subaru. When you go for a long drive, more heat will be produced in the vehicle.
