Hi all. my mams Renault 19 has a problem with the water in the radiator. a couple of weeks ago my mam was picking my sister up from work when the temprature guage in the car went to the highest possible and minutes later all the water in the expansion tank (+ pipes and radiator) exploded across the engine bay. we refilled the radiator and they were NO leaks.
The car has ran fine until last week when the same problem happened again. a couple of days ago my mam saw that the temprature guage was going up again so she stopped the car, opened the bonnet and she could see that the water was bubbling inside of the expansion tank.
i dont know if this is anything to do with it, but the heater has never worked (had the car 3 years). it blows cold air, but wont blow hot air, and doesnt demist the screen.
Many thanks in advance
