Radiator check

[wsonny]

How to check the radiator coolant in the right way? After I had change the radiator I notice tat every morning I hav to top up some water. As when I open the cap the floating stick is in the bottom it won't float up until I release some air out. So is this normal or it still got some leaking on any of my coolant part?

Have you done a pressure test after changing the radiator?

I had the same problem before with my m50. Every morning.. really annoying.. After changing radiator n hoses n thermostat problem still not solved... finally found out head gasket went kaput... did valve grinding n new head gasket, problem gone..

Yes this is same as my prob in the 1st place...better check individual cylinder like did with my car...
Finally found out cylinder no4 gasket is keaking...from here the pressure builts up in the expansion tank so after some time the pressure inside the expansion tank becomes high so the float drops down...
Mine did top overhaul so prob solved..

expansion tank is a wear & tear item. do keep an eye on its condition.

Yup I have change my expansion earlier but the coolant level still need to top up after sometimes ang also the pressure inside the expansion tank is quite high...
So my actual prob and culprit is my head gasket leak...
So now everything is solved after top overhaul...there is no more pressure in the expansion tank n no more top up coolant level...

If this continues you have a leak somewhere - take it to your mechanic. You should not need to bleed it eveyday

There should not be any pressure in the expansion tank...
Please do the cylinder pressure test before its getting worst...
