(e)gi

and I think when you pull the fuse and crank it, you're looking for coolant to be sucked out of the radiator, as opposed to the bubbles, aka. the bubble test or champagne test.

Idleing a cold engine with the radiator cap off will tell if an internal coolant seal is bad.

The only time you may want to pull the CGI fuse is to unflood an S4.

It is the fuse at the inboard end of the strut tower fuse block.

oh.. Ive idled it. cold tough... does it make a diference? cause the radiator liquid was not even moving (I didn't see it) my friend was watching it while I reved it a little bit and he reported no bubles.
what else can I check for previouse overheating?
