Subaru thermostat direction

[@erichandyauto]

I did see this mentioned in the OEM Subaru Repair Manual. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for that. I have the downward facing thermostat. Wasn't sure of the jiggle orientation on that type. Much appreciated

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Very helpful.

Understand the position of the little bypass valve but not the reason to face it forward, what is the actual reason? is it a vehicle makers preference? or does it help with operating temp etc.

Thank you. I have a 2000 Legacy. Hanging downward.

So clear and wise to slowly explain..

[@bensutherland6871]

Thank y

[@jackle842000]

Anyone explain why? Or exactly what happens if it's installed incorrectly?

[@MiloPerrotti]

If you put it in backwards it will not sense the coolant temp. If you do not put the jiggle valve in the correct orientation it will not purge the air bubbles, and as a result of that water will not flow causing overheat ultimately blown Head gasket.

What happens if you put it on wrong

Instant death

[@erichandyauto]

The air in the system may not bleed out properly and cause overheating.
