Subaru -- overheating

Thank you for those explanations … Perhaps the dealer tested the sensors – I just know they said “WNR”. The “critical” temperature is changing. At first, it only happened when it was below freezing and not in the 30s, but now it happens in the 30s as well. Here’s how it went the last two days:

  1. Thursday (morning temperature 30s) temperature gauge rising – driving 100+ miles and controlled it with varying degrees of heater and fan – it gets VERY hot inside the car so I drive around with the windows open. Finished work early – excited to get to Subaru dealer to show them – temperature in afternoon rising to 46 or so. Temperature gauge stops rising about 15 minutes from the Subaru dealer – so didn’t go.
  2. Friday – Drive south about 130 miles – temperature range 46-66. Absolutly no problem.
