those of you who have read my previuos thread know all about it.....
car is going into garage tomorrow afternoon...... one thing i sussed 2nite
is...... it ONLY pressurises and bubbles when engine is turned off...
if i restart engine, it stops pressurising and bubbling.... so......
pressurising prob is only apparent when i turn off engine....
does this help with a diagnosis ????
this still point to head gasket ???? i,ve changed thermostat, and bled system, and swore like fook
need an ace spanner man for this one.....

anyone ????

 

When you turn it off when hot it has to bubble as coolant boils in the turbo....

But I don't know if you mean that....

 

SO, THIS SHOULD HAPPEN ???
I,M BEING TOO PARANOID ??
IT IS A VIOLENT BUBBLING AND PRESSURISING , THO ??
SOON AS I START ENGINE , IT STOPS ?????

SO, IS CAR OK ??
GET IT CHECKED ??

TEMP GAUGE WHILE DRIVING NEVER GOES ABOVE THE "R" ON NORMAL

 

Dunno :-/ Every turbo car will boil when you stop the engine but how much is hard to judge from description. If you are not loosing coolant it's probably normal.
