Subaru cannot get the temperature gauge to move during test drives and their tests indicate it is running within normal range – so they don’t know what to change/fix. It happens to me when 1. temperature is below 40 degrees. 2. it happens within 10-20 minutes of driving … regardless of speed. 3. it happens every day when it’s below 40 degrees – but just since the water pump and thermostat were changed and then the new faulty thermostat was then replaced … 4. the gauge comes immediately down when I turn the heat and fan on 5. I try to get it to Subaru when it’s happening, but I’m usually about 25-50 miles away and can’t get it to them when it’s happening 6. it NEVER happens if the weather is above 50 degrees. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.cartalk.com/t/subaru-overheating/27095)._
