Re: Strange over heating

Okay so now with a new SILIA radiator in it runs good...... But now after a drive or two it starts to do the same thing again . But I noticed this time it's cus it's low on water so I thought well maybe air was in the system so I filled it up a few times. But then it started spewing water out the resavor. So I did this test.

I filled up the radiator when it was cold. Emptied the resistor compleatly. Drove it home 15miles. Just started to over heat when I got home. The next day I opened the radiator it was low on coolant. Checked the resivor it was full. So I poured what was in the resavor into the radiator and it filled it up perfectly.

So I know I'm not "losing" coolant it's still there just not in the right place. My thoughts bad radiator cap? Not letting pressure out and the coolant from the resivor back into the radiator?

Any more thoughts?
