DavidTheCreator Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 tell whatever workshop that you want a cooling system pressure check and see what they find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sholdowa Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 As a start, I'd get it up to temperature, leave it idling for a few minutes and look underneath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex lancer wat! Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 sweet yup ill do both those ideas but what are the chances of there being a cracked head. does it matter if my raditor is rusty on inside because its making my water brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felixx Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 how much water is it using? It may be a leak? I had a pinhole crack in the top tank of my subaru once. it was using H20, I couldnt figure out until one frosty morning I saw a thin jet of steam exiting my bonnet when I was stopped at the lights. I was certain it was serious, it turned out ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ex lancer wat! Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 did 14km and used about 200ml roughly and nope doesnt bubble on idle and once turbo kicks in you get tiny fragement bubbles like when i say tiny im mean like pinhead bubbles that sit there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tortron Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 did 14km and used about 200ml roughly and nope doesnt bubble on idle and once turbo kicks in you get tiny fragement bubbles like when i say tiny im mean like pinhead bubbles that sit there that sounds like oxygen in the water escaping when hot. get a pressure test done and rest easy or just carry a water bottle with you. i lose a litre of water if i sit in traffic on the way home unpressurized system and a 10 L header tank success Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
