Coolant problem
I have a problem that is a bit hard to explain.
The warning light for low coolant level comes on accasionally when Im driving, but only below 2500rpm. Its not the warninglight circuit... I changed the radiator cap since it didnt seem to be working properly, but it didnt help much. I have tried to bleed the system, but the air-bubbles just never stop. It seems impossible to bleed. My fear is that there is air/ exhaust leaking from the combustion-chambers into the watersystem (worn seal), which means a total stripdown of the engine. Any suggestions? Is there anything else I can try before I do the hard job...?

But air bubbles are air bubbles, so it should be easy to see the difference. Just thought I would mention that since it would be a bummer to rebuild an engine when it's not necessary.

Try this before rebuild:
You could also use one of these to really be certain that the system is totally bled of all air.

Also, get a compression test.
