Can the heater matrix cause water to blow out of the expansion tank by having a partial blockage in it? I'v replaced the engine,radiator,2 expansion bottle caps,3 thermostats,temp sensor, water pump taken out and checked fan cutting in at right temp. Bled the system more times than i'v had cooked dinners and used more diesel than anyone would like to pay for.
When the coolant is topped up to the correct level, after the engine comes to correct temp.it blows it out and there is about an inch left after cooling down which is well below the min. mark on the bottle.
Then the coolant warning light comes on constantly which is worrying.
The engine temp.never goes above normal temp.even after boiling over from the coolant bottle.The car is now in the 3rd garage and am thinking of scrapping it,I'v spent approx. £1400 in all,if you can solve this problem will make it worth your while (nice bonus)
there comes a time to stop spending !!!!!!!!!
