Evening guys,
My new baby started misbehaving yesterday, have done about 400 miles in her since purchase( up&down the M3)mostly. Yesterday went round the block to the post office and she started to overheat. Temp gauge went up to just below the red in 3-4mins of driving(calmy too).
She had cooled down by the time I left the PO, but was the same by the time I got home.
The previous owner had the rad replaced after the original split on the plastic top by the filler neck(2nd hnd part).
I am praying its low on coolant and thats all. The expansion bottle is so dirty inside its virtually impossible to tell what the level is.
If i take the rad cap or filler res cap off, should i be able to see coolant- I can't.
Am going to try burping etc in AM.
Have been looking for a new rad in case, and have been told by 2 different suppliers that the version i need for my MY2002 uk wrx turbo estate is the non capped rad - the current one has a rad cap on it - How do I find out if I have the right rad for my car currently on it and does it even matter???
Cheers for reading this essay and ANY suggestions will be considered at the mo.
Gnash :(
