2011 Impreza 2.5i
This car will be the first car I take care by myself too (just started learning by watching youtube!) Trying to do everything I could to save few bucks!
So far I'm enjoying it a lot.
I've bought several tools and they are on the way. Veepeak obd2 just arrived today.
I honestly don't know what am I looking at. At least it's not poping up errors or flags.
However I realized the temperture (I assume it's referring coolant temperture?) is constantly around 205~21x.
Is it normal? I Google about it and then I'm down to a rabbit hole...I start wondering why the fans kick in so late when it's already 200~205.
Those Youtube videos are giving me too many ideas that I'm quite overwhelmed
Another question I have is the compressor
So first few questions are:
Thank you all in advance!

Another question I have is the compressor
So first few questions are:
- What's the normal temperture range for my Impreza?
- Should I do the burp method trying to remove air? Problem is I'm not even sure if there's any
- Since the fans only kick in so late, could it be the themostat issue?
- The ac is not working. It blows air, but just not cold at all. The previous owner claimed just refill the refrigerant. I noticed the compressor's "front disc" part, I believe it's called clutch, not spinning like what I saw on Youtube. I'm just not sure if it would spin again after I refill some refrigerant?
Thank you all in advance!
