tom262 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 today i was driving home and when i stoped i could hear water bubbling so i opened the bonnet and found the expansion bottle for my rad was boiling and also noticed my cooling fan bolts had snapped, so i took her stright to a garage and they where unsure what could casue this, so we remounted the fan and then later on i checked and my expansion bottle was empty then i checked again and it was full and not bubbling i just got home and found it was going it again!! i did a diagnostics test and found nothing wrong except it was running a little bit rich, i have no idea what the problem could be im hoping its the thermostat mybe? just hoping its not the head gasket! any help would be much appreciated cheersTom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

akyakapotter Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 sounds a bit like that mate is it over heating ? any oil in your water ? sounds like your getting exhaust gasses in the water ways dose it pressure up ie top hose go rock hard ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 what is the temp gauge showing?is the alternator belt still intact? it runs the waterpumpfirst port of call would be to change the thermostat cheap and easy to replace Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tom262 Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 no water in oil or oil in water, not sure about belt will give that a try, the hoses are fine thats why im confused about what it is i dont want to start tking it apart for no reason :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
