cooling problems...
I have a problem:
from one month after turning off my fd3s'93 touring, about 10-15 seconds after start bubbling and then pissing overflow from the tank behind the bumper.
reboot and you turn the light "add water" means the overflow tank full and I find it rather than caps and housing ast empty (sight).
What can that be?
ast the tank lho already changed with a steel.
tubes, aluminum radiator and 2 fans from 12"12v I ordered them.
The temperature marks just, not too hot either on the road, is also to a minimum after so long.
The engine runs perfect.
Help
p.s.: sorry for my bad english

Pressure test your cooling system. You may have a leak somewhere and as the engine cools, you loose vacuum. That means coolant goes into your overflow tank but isn't returned to the rest of the system. That would also cause your "add coolant" light and buzzer.
Do not rely on the factory temperature gauge. Your probably low on coolant and/or have air in the system, so be VERY careful about overheating.
I'd also watch for any steam (or white smoke) on cold start-up.
