weird coolant issue
weird coolant issue
As some of you may know, my FD overheated because of a bad ugly thermostat.
Now that I have changed it, I have another little issue. I knew I needed to keep water in the car to add some everytime I would drive the car for bleeding purposes or whatever.
Problem is, everytime I remove the filler cap, I have to put some strength on it to pull it out. When I remove it, it makes a "pop" succion sound. Also, when I first filled the car with coolant, I topped off the AST, filler neck and overflow tank. Now, the overflow tank is way above the "full" mark on the dipstick, and I still have to add water everyday in the filler neck.
wtf?
edit: before people start yelling REBUILD, I don't see any bubbles in the coolant from the filler neck when the car is running, and there is no white smoke coming out of the exaust
