Are you saying when you get done driving is when it's bubbling/overflowing? Stock temperature gauge?

If only people used the "Search" button up there............dont know if its still broken though....

Anyway, this is a classic problem, which has been discussed about a gazillion times. I personally have made 4-5 posts, with all sorts of things to do and costs.

Search "coolant" "overflow" "buzzer" and my screen name, and you shall find.....

zoomzoomsecondgen:

Do a quick check the next time you do out to drive. Make sure the motor is cold, and fill the coolant system up. LEAVE THE FILLER CAP OFF, and crank the motor. If you get large amouts of coolant ripping out of your filler neck, you may have a large problem. If the coolant level stays relatively stable, you may have a slightly less serious problem (fan clutch, thermostat...etc)

Define relatively. What if coolant flows out at a steady rate when you crank it?

If your coolant seal is bad, like the one on my TII, the coolant comes out like a geyser. Probably 6-8 inches above the neck.

What does your car do?
