HELPPP!!!!
Hi, i am having a problem with my 2005 sti and was wondering whether someone could help.
a couple of weeks ago i had a MD321T, fmic, gt spec headers etc etc fitted and the car remapped and also the coolant changed A smaller overflow bottle was fitted with the fmic, it is a lot smaller than the original. When giving it a few full throttle runs, it kept blowing the overflow cap off and water spewing out, the bottle would overflow with water. I put up a thread and was advised that the lip on the new overflow is crap, so i secured it down. It no longer pops off. On the new cap there is a small hole at the top for air to bleed out. water now pisses out of this hole. I did another coolant change today and filled the coolant through the turbo pipe to prevent an airlock but the above still happened. when i went for a run, it started to overheat. I came back and opened the bonnet to see coolant pissing out from the small hole in the overflow lid. I felt the radiator pipes and the top one is boiling hot and bottom one is only warmish, the radiator is also cool. Don't know what to do know as i don't know what is wrong. If i have missed anything, let me know. Could anyone advise please |
Sounds like there is air in the system, does your coolant overflow not have a small hose coming off it to drain excess coolant away??

Im no professional but does sound like an air lock. Someone will help

Im guessing it is lots of air in the coolant, get a local garage to check it out for you.
