Hey i was hoping someone here could spread some light on this issue for me please
I have a Fiat Punto 1995 1.2
It keeps overheating and you can hear the water bubbling over in the radiator,
I replaced the thermostat i think it was? replaced that last night, basically the switch that screws into the radiator next to the fan, has 2 wires go to it, like a heat sender maybe? i also drained the system, Filled it back up. so there was no air in the system , just water.
Anyway i replaced that , left the car on tickover and wholla fan kicked in, hey presto i drive to work with no problems and i drive back home no problems, This morning i go to work no problems, until i get onto the work carpark and i hear it again, Look under the car and water everywhere, I lift the bonnet and its blowing past the Rad filler cap. So i think to myself damn i obviously put too much water in, i carry on at work, let the engien cool down, fill it back up again 5 hours later, drive home same problem happens, only this time its not blowing past the cap, u can just hear the water, It makesa noise like someone kicking a wall repeatedly. The fan didnt kick in at all and when i undid the screw on the bleed pipe at the back of the engine i got lots of air out.
I have done thsi method many times over the past few months, and i always get air out the system when there was none in. Its leaking in somewhere maybe?
Blown head?
Cracked block?
any help will be much appreciated
