Iv recently fitted a 500 cooler, alloy rad new twin fans and the rewire kit with uprated switch, it was running hot after all this so i then fiitted a msd thermostat, the fans come in and run fine but it just gets hot and boils over. its doing my fucking head in this car now. any advise people?

air lock in the pipework? is the coolant even being circulated?

not sure as when it boiled over i went to pull the bonnet and the cable has came off at latch! that pissed me off more than anything else! i think i blead the system with the bleed screw on the housing correctly, il check once bonnets open.

Sounds simple mate but r the fans spinning the right way ! I had twin fan cooler fitted and the fans were wired right! It over heated n boiled over! Required them n sorted it!

Sorry these wasn't wired right first time! They was spinning wrong way forcing air out rather than in

As above are the fans spinning the right way, also is thermostat opening closing correctly and final thing if you have an airlock remove lid on water tank, run engine so it reaches temp and have heaters on full blast and set to hot and use bleed screw on thermostat housing!

I'm having the exact same issue right now. Engine gets upto temperature but then shits coolant everywhere out the header tank.

same as above regarding the way the fans should be spinning but also do you have the state fitted the right way round? failing that must be an air lock. was it fine prior to all that's been changed?

its definitely an air lock as L1AM RS has same issue and he has also just fitted an rs500 rad, do as I stated above
