Gets hot in traffic unto about 95 or so then the fans can keep it under control briefly until moving.
When on boost the temps shoot up and the top rad hose tends to pressure up and stays hard even when cooled down. Open rad and waters very low then fills hack up when rad bleed is undone.
Overheated today to just under the red while driving up big hills so pulled over and the hoses were rock hard so let some air out the rad but instead a vast amount of water came spewing out. I am hoping it was just a lack of coolant although I have put 3 litres in when bleeding it. I did the headgasket before fitting the engine but got a feeling I hav'nt done it right?
